Heat wraps help treat arthritis pain and joint stiffness. A wrap applies heat to a joint to relieve pain and stiffness. There are heat wraps designed for specific joints (for example -- knee wraps, neck wraps, hand wraps).
Heat wraps contain different fillers (the material in the core which heats up). Some wraps are activated by putting them in the microwave. Some wraps can be frozen to provide cold treatments. These are a few that we like.
1. MediBeads Moist Heat Therapy - Hand Wrap
MediBeads makes a heat wrap for your hands. Medibeads are different from other fillers like grains, seeds, or gels -- they produce moist heat by absorbing water molecules from the air. When activated in the microwave, soothing heat lasts up to 30 minutes. Hand wrap is 5.5 x 7.
