Deep Heat Pain Relief Back Patch 2 Pack — Heat Therapy for Back Pain Deep Heat Pain Relief Back Patches provide targeted, sustained heat therapy directly to the lower back — a non-medicated approach to relieving muscular back pain, tension and stiffness. Each patch generates and maintains a steady heat for up to 8 hours, helping to relax tense muscles, improve local circulation and ease the aching, stiffness and discomfort associated with lower back pain from muscle strain, poor posture or overexertion. Self-adhesive and discreet — can be worn directly against the skin under clothing throughout the day or overnight, providing continuous relief without the mess of creams or gels. How Deep Heat Back Patches Work The patches contain iron powder that oxidises on contact with air to produce sustained, controlled heat of approximately 40°C — a gentle therapeutic temperature that relaxes muscle spasm, improves blood flow to the affected area and reduces the pain signals associated with muscle tension and stiffness. This mechanism of heat therapy is clinically recognised for musculoskeletal back pain management.

Always read the label before use. Frequently Asked Questions When should I use heat versus ice for back pain? Heat is most effective for muscular back pain — tension, stiffness and aching from overuse, poor posture or chronic muscle tightness. It relaxes muscle spasm and improves blood flow. Ice/cold therapy is more appropriate for acute injuries with inflammation — such as a sudden strain where the area is swollen, hot or bruised. For most everyday lower back pain and stiffness in Ireland, heat therapy is the recommended first-line approach. If in doubt, speak with your pharmacist or GP. Can I sleep with a Deep Heat Back Patch on? The patches are designed for up to 8 hours of continuous use and many people do use them overnight. Ensure the patch is firmly adhered before sleeping and do not use simultaneously with electric blankets or heated mattress pads. If you notice skin irritation during use, remove the patch immediately. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "When should I use heat versus ice for back pain?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Heat is best for muscular tension, stiffness and chronic aching — relaxes muscle spasm and improves blood flow.
