Benefits That Reusable Trigger Activated Heat Packs Give

By Elizabeth Meyer


There are some days where a dull numbing pain just happens to plague the overly stressed body. Muscle strain does not choose who it victimizes. Sometimes moving too much or not having the right posture while exercising, can cause the muscles to be torn. One very effective way to relieve this pain is through heat therapy.

Chronic muscle pain in these areas are usually remedied by applying heat to the injured part. A common home remedy is using a towel and dipping it in hot water. While this may be effective there, chances are, the ideal heat needed for relied is difficult to maintain. This is why reusable trigger activated heat packs are very popular even in the United States.

There are also other tools for this purpose. They range between electrical, chemical and bottle types. Since an activated heat pack is reusable, this makes it the more affordable choice. Apart from that there is no electrocution risks involved and rubber material that can cause the device to oxidize.

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.

The best way to apply the device is not directly through contact with skin. Wrap it with a towel or cloth so that it does not have a higher chance of burning your skin. Remember not to exceed the application to more than 20 minutes on a single area unless it is recommended by the doctor. The confusion of using hot or cold compress has always been an issue so make sure that you have identified the problem first before making a decision whether to use hot or cold.

Heat is not advised to be used on open and inflamed wounds and injuries. This is best for cold compress, ice packs and elevation. The amount of time that the device should be used in an area also varies on the type of injury. So be wary of this unless you want burns and blisters. This device only needs little maintenance and proper use for it to last very long.
