Nexcare™ ColdHot Therapy Pack Classic

Natural therapeutic effects of cold and heat. Compresses can be used for heat or cold therapy and are a practical solution for those who prefer a natural, drug-free treatment. Use cold compresses for tension headaches, fever (not intended to lower body temperature), acute injuries (bruises, minor bumps), sprains, e.g., of the ankle, knee, elbow, or shoulder, or swelling resulting from a bruise/injury. Use warm compresses for a stiff neck or shoulder, arthritis/rheumatoid arthritis (without acute inflammation) such as wrist arthritis, when you feel cold (use as a hot water bottle), for lower back pain, menstrual pain, knee pain or general stiffness of the leg muscles, and for abdominal pain (exclusively due to muscle tension).
