Cold Therapy

This Back Wrap combines both cold therapy, support and compression in a single, easy to use wrap that can be worn over or under clothes, with NO ICY MESS. Typical users of this back wrap are those suffering from a back sprain, back pain, a sore back, backache, or back surgery.

This cold compression wrap is a highly endorsed product on About.com and is also endorsed by the Mayo Clinic as the best combination brace and cold pack for athletic injuries.

To use, place the back wrap in a freezer for about an hour to freeze the sewn in gels. Then, apply and tighten the frozen wrap to achieve compression and drive the cold deep into the soft tissues surrounding the spine and spinal muscles to stop or reduce back pain. The wrap will drive cold into the back and lower the internal tissue temperature by 10 degrees or more. Immediate relief of back pain is obtained, and lasts for several hours.

Application of the wrap in its frozen state several times a day will stop inflammation and minimize back pain. If used over a long term, the body will use its energy to heal the injured tissues instead of leaking blood and fluid into the injured area (which causes inflammation and pain).

The compression drives the cold deep into the muscles to provide soothing relief and faster recovery from sore and swollen back muscles. The sooner a back injury is treated, the faster the recovery time. Continued use of a frozen cold compression back wrap will help an injured back heal faster. It reduces swelling and pain significantly, and gets the participant/athlete back to a natural state.

Our Cold Compression wraps are constructed with an outer layer of nitrogen blown neoprene, a middle layer of sewn in refreezable gels, and an inner layer of rubberized linen (see image). All three layers stretch together to provide compression you can adjust to your comfort level. The wrap provides excellent cold/ice therapy plus compression to reduce swelling and back pain from injury or reoccurring injury. This is the modality most recommended by MD's, sports trainers, and physical therapists.

This is MD and trainer recommended therapy.
