ThermaCare® Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps are specially designed to fit your back and hip area so you can experience long-lasting heat relief throughout your day.
Back pain is often caused by tight, injured or sore muscles. ThermaCare® Lower Back & Hip HeatWraps deliver 8 hours of continuous, therapeutic heat and relieves pain for an additional 8 hours after you take it off. In fact, the American College of Physicians (ACP) recommends real heat as a first defense against acute lower back pain. These single-use wraps are designed to provide pain relief at home or on the go. ThermaCare® has patented heat cells that penetrate deep to increase circulation to promote healing, while relieving pain for up to 16 hours. That’s 8 hours of heat while you wear it, plus an additional 8 hours of relief after you take if off. So you don't just feel better, you get better.
ThermaCare® HeatWraps deliver therapeutic healing exactly where you need it.
Whether it's muscle or joint aches, strains, sprains or arthritis that's causing your pain, look to ThermaCare® to find relief.

Heat is effective. It penetrates deep, warming the muscle right where it hurts—to relax, soothe and unlock tight muscles.Here’s how it works:
- When heat is applied to your skin, it actually reduces the sensation of pain.
- Heat stimulates thermo receptors, which block your body’s pain transmitters from sending pain signals to your brain
- Heat increases circulation to the injured or sore area, which means more oxygen and nutrients are sent to the damaged tissue
- Heat helps stretch soft tissues and relax sore muscles which promotes flexibility and decreases stiffness
It once was believed that 20 minutes of high-level heat followed by 20 minutes of no heat was the most effective treatment for sore muscles. However, clinical studies show the use of continuous low-level heat therapy, like that found in ThermaCare® HeatWraps, is effective for pain management.
