Benefits That Reusable Trigger Activated Heat Packs Give

By Elizabeth Meyer


There are many possible reasons why our bodies hurt out of nowhere. The most common pain a lot of people experience are lower back, neck and areas with large muscles that are often used. Strains can be caused by events like lifting, improper posture, or staying in a certain position for a long time. This can result to limited mobility and dull pain.

Heat therapy is best for these cases since the treatment is superficial. A popular device used for this in the United States is the reusable trigger activated heat packs. Most often, the method to create a hot compress involves boiling water and soaking a towel to absorb the warmth and then applying it to the injured area. This is ineffective because the heat only stays for a couple of minutes.

This product is starting to get more popular in other countries too. Its re usability makes it a good bargain. In comparison to other devices used for heat therapy like electric and bottle types, there is no need to constantly reheat water or use other energy sources, also it becomes the safer option by default. There is no electricity involved and materials that may be susceptible to damage by heat.

Compared to other types of heating pads like electric and bottle types. The electric ones are dangerous due to the risk of electrocution during usage. Bottle types on the other hand, have a risk of failure attributed to the type of material used and can be prone to oxidation or polymer degradation. A Trigger hot compress is the safest option in the list.

All you need to do is click or press this coin for the CaCO3 to be activated. Energy that produces the warmth is released through the crystallization. Eventually the gel or liquid solidifies. When this occurs, the pack can be reused by submerging the pack in hot water for a certain amount of time. The duration depends on what the pad is going to be used for.

Since circulation is faster, the nutrients get distributed better in these strained areas. This promotes extended, or normalized range of motion that cannot be achieved when there is discomfort in a certain area. The pad can also be used for pain that is not related to muscle injuries. Since nerves are responsible for communicating pain from the brain to our muscles and vice versa, the heat is able to intercept and distract neurons with a different stimuli.

In this case the stimuli is the high temperature released from the hot compress. This becomes the reason why hot compression for abdominal pain due to menstruation is effective. Do not apply the pack directly on top of the skin.

Application of the pad directly on skin may risk the surface to burn. It is best to wrap the device with a towel of cloth first before using. This regulates the temperature and makes sure it is retained for a longer period. On whether cold or hot compress should be used on a particular injury, consult your doctor or a legitimate source.

Basically this type therapy is not for inflamed injuries and open wounds. These type of injuries are best left to ice packs and cold compress. There is also a designated amount of time that you should use for application of a hot compress. Extended use in one setting may cause the skin to burn resulting in blisters.
