Electric Heating Pads and Hot Therapy

Heat Therapy is commonly known as fibromyalgia's best friend.  20 minute application is effective unless having adverse symptoms.  Remember, keep it helpful not hurtful.  Keep your heating pads at a comfortable level.  Also, do not fall asleep with your electric heating pads on.  Do not put heating pads directly on your skin. 

Moist Heating Pads are an easy and inexpensive option to provide relief from many forms of pain.  Moist heat is more effective than dry heat because it penetrates more deeply, which increases the effect on muscles, joints, and soft tissue.  Moist Heating pads can also help relieve pain, reduce muscle spasms, reduce joint stiffness, and make soft tissue more limber.  A heating pad can be used to help loosen tight muscles and joints reducing fibromyalgia muscle pain.
