Dear Back Pain Sufferer,
Ever noticed how the sun seems to have its own healing powers?
A 15-minute walk in the sun, and your flu isn't so bad anymore. It seems to “bake away” aches and pains. And a day in the sun somehow makes you feel better for the rest of the week.
That's the power of heat therapy! The sun is a free, natural source of Vitamin D, and it also stimulates the healing of damaged tissue. In fact, scientists believe simply getting enough sunshine every day can reduce the risk of ALL kinds of cancer. That's how powerful heat therapy is!
But as easy as it sounds, it's actually a challenge to get enough sunshine these days. Modern lifestyle is an “indoors” lifestyle, and as a result most people don't get enough sun. What's worse, during the winter months, it's often too cold to go outside.
Does that mean your winter-time aches and pains are here to stay? Thankfully, the answer is “no.” ChiActivate has just the thing that will let you get the same healing heat therapy you'd get from the sun – in winter, at night, and even in the middle of the workday!
Introducing the ChiOndo Bio Heating Pad, a special heating pad that not only lets you enjoy a relaxing warm compress whenever and wherever you want, but also treats your chronic pain at its root. It's like having the healing powers of the sun at your beck and call.
The secret lies in the ChiOndo Heating Pad's surface material. This unique heating pad is covered with loess (pronounced “lowess”), a special kind of clay that, when heated, emits an invisible, far-infrared light – the exact same kind of healing light we get from the sun.
The ChiOndo Bio Heating Pad is easy to use. Simply heat it in hot water for 3 minutes. Then dry it off with a towel, wrap it in another dry towel, and place it on your neck, shoulders, or back.
The heat and far-infrared light relaxes tense, painful muscles... heals aching joints... and simply helps the body heal itself naturally. And the more you use the ChiOndo Bio Heating Pad, the stronger and more pain-free your body becomes!
What's more, the ChiOndo Heating Pad also stimulates better blood flow in the treated area, which facilitates the removal of toxins and hastening of healing.
And when you're not particularly in pain, the ChiOndo Heating Pad is simply a fantastic way to relax and unwind after a hard day's work!
Arthritis is notorious for causing pain and stiffness in the joints. This pain can greatly interfere with the sufferer's life. There are many treatments available, but these often come with risks and side effects. Heat therapy is treatment that can help with reduce pain and stiffness with minimal to no risk.
This type of therapy is capable of penetrating deep into the tissues. This will result in stiff joints loosening and the associated muscles will relax. Sometimes, it is the muscles that surround the joint causing the pain. This is especially true in terms of spinal arthritis. Keeping the surrounding muscles relaxed is critical to keep pain to a minimum. This makes is ideal for arthritis. With this condition, joints can be so stiff and painful that using them is nearly impossible. By ensuring the joints are limber, things like full range of motion will be a possibility again.
There are several different devices that can be used. These include infrared heat saunas, stationary systems and handheld devices. Some of the handheld devices have built-in massagers which will further increase their pain-relieving benefits. If you tend to only have one or two joints that cause pain, a handheld device may be the best choice as you will be able to specifically target the painful joints.
If your pain is more widespread, a stationary system or infrared sauna is a better choice as these can target larger areas or the entire body at one time. This makes infrared therapy beneficial over things like heat pads and warm washcloths because unless you use several of these at once, you will only be able to target one small area at a time, when you really need pain relief in several joints.
The average session with heat therapy is 30 to 90 minutes, however, many people start to experience relief with just 15 to 30 minutes of therapy. This is very beneficial if you are short on time, but need to relieve some of your pain. This also makes it more ideal over things like medications. Medications take time to kick in, but heat therapy is nearly instant relief that does not take long to achieve.
There are not really any risks when this therapy is performed right. This therapy does involve high temperatures, so it is important to know which things do not mix well with heat. Antibiotics and heat therapy do not mix. The following are signs of overheating that you need to be aware of:
If overheating occurs, it is important to immediately stop the therapy, rest, cool the body and rehydrate.
Heat therapy is also contraindicated with the following health conditions:
