💡 Tuesday Tips with Dana | Lake Martin Pharmacy
Sore muscles? Stiff joints? A little warmth may help!
After experiencing a few days of muscle spasms, Dana knows firsthand how comforting a heating pad can be. Gentle heat can help relax tight muscles and ease stiffness but using it safely matters.
✅ Keep it comfortably warm, never hot.
✅ Limit sessions to 15–20 minutes.
✅ Use a cloth or towel barrier to protect your skin.
✅ Check your skin often and follow the product’s instructions.
✅ Never fall asleep with a heating pad on.
Avoid heat on a fresh, hot, swollen injury. If you have reduced sensation, poor circulation, or fragile skin, ask a healthcare professional before using a heating pad.
