How to Use Heat and Cold Therapy for Sciatic Pain
Cold TherapyTake a Sports Therapy Wrap from the freezer and use for sciatic pain This is usually kept in one spot, such as the low back, for 15 to 20 minutes per application, and repeated for three times (15 minutes on-off-on-off-on, which takes 1 hour, 15 minutes = 1 session).
Heat Therapy
Take our Warm Buddy Sports Therapy wrap, heat in the microwave and place on affected area of the back.
In addition to the benefits stated above, heat relaxes the muscles, which again, allows for some pain relief, allowing the patient to stretch out the sciatic nerve and diminish the compression that is causing the sciatica.
