Active living and sport can cause a lot of muscle pain, headaches and joint aches. Heating pads can help relieve these aches and pains and aid muscle recovery. Buying heating pads from an online parapharmacy can be an advantageous option for professional or amateur sportsmen and women.
Don't let muscle and joint pain restrict your movements!
From torticollis to lumbago, from aches and pains after a day's sport to the knocks, bumps and sprains that can occur in everyday life, there are plenty of situations in which pain can occur!
Heat can relieve or even heal certain injuries, as it reduces pain by releasing the tensions and spasms that cause it. The result is faster healing and less pain.
Heat compresses can be used at home or when traveling, and offer immediate relief for muscle and joint pain. They can also be used to prevent injury before a workout by increasing blood circulation to the muscles. Heating compresses are often more effective than medication because of their immediate effect on pain.
There are around 400 joints in the human body, giving it mobility and flexibility, but also representing potential sources of pain. Indeed, joint pain is one of the most widespread health problems, particularly (but not exclusively) with age. Joints, which connect different parts of the body, are complex mechanisms made up of numerous components: cartilage, ligaments, membranes, fluids, tissues... The causes of joint pain can therefore be multiple.
Joint pain can be grouped into three categories:
Arthritis: pain of inflammatory origin, resulting from inflammation or infection (this is often the case when the joint is red and swollen, and the pain wakes you up at night).
Arthrosis: pain of mechanical origin, caused by wear and tear of joint cartilage. This is often the case when a stiffening of the joint is noted on waking, and the pain diminishes with use of the joint.
Joint pain can also be traumatic in origin, following a blow or fall for example.
Joint pain can manifest itself in a number of ways. It can occur for no apparent reason or during movement, appear gradually or suddenly, diminish or persist at rest, be short-lived or last over time. They may also be accompanied by a variety of more or less disabling symptoms:

Last but not least, heating pads can be used by all athletes, without any side effects. They're easy to use, with no risk of overdose or side effects. They can also be used as a safe complement to other medical treatments.
Traumatic origins: when pain occurs following an accident, a fall or a blow. Examples include sprains, dislocations or strains.
Inflammatory origins: when pain comes from an area of the joint affected by inflammation. We speak of arthritis when the whole joint is affected, tendonitis when the inflammation affects the tendons, etc.
Mechanical origins: when the pain is due to a deformity or the wear and tear of cartilage with age, as in the case of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis, which most often occurs after the age of 50 and affects shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees and feet, is one of the main causes of joint pain.
Infectious origins: when pain is linked to a virus (e.g. influenza or chikungunya).
Crystal deposits: when pain is caused by a deposit of sodium urate crystals in the joint, as in gout attacks.
In all cases, if the pain is accompanied by swelling or redness, if it intensifies and persists, and above all if it is accompanied by fever, medical consultation is urgently required.
In conclusion, heat compresses are an invaluable tool for professional and amateur athletes alike. They offer fast, effective relief for muscle and joint pain, as well as additional benefits such as injury prevention and muscle recovery.
