Upon contact with oxygen in the air, the cells produce steady heat for 8 hours.

The symptoms of myalgia are, by the very definition of the word, muscle pain. Identifying several characteristics of the pain generally helps the doctor determine the cause. The pain may be localized to a single muscle or group of muscles, or it may be widespread and associated with other types of pain, such as joint pain. It may come on suddenly or develop gradually, and may manifest as numbness, tingling, or a burning sensation. The pain may also be exacerbated by movement and exertion, or it may occur even at rest, without any movement.

The use of heat has a genuine physiological effect:
- It causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), which promotes blood circulation.
- This facilitates the transport of oxygen and nutrients to muscle cells.
- Toxins produced by the muscles are eliminated more easily.
- The muscles relax.

Advice from our orthopedic pharmacist
Treating traumatic, joint, tendon, and arthritic pain
The management of traumatic, joint, tendon, and arthritic pain (bruises, blows, impacts, strains, sprains, tendinitis, dislocations, arthritis) involves three steps:
1/ Cryotherapy 3 times a day usingTherm-cool Cold Sprayor theThera-pearl cold pack(apply for 15 to 20 minutes)
2/ Relieve pain and inflammation withTherm-cool Pain Relief Gel; apply by massaging gently without rubbing it in.
3/ Support and immobilize using asplint, brace, ankle brace, knee brace, etc.
These conditions are characterized bypain, swelling, bruising, and inflammation.
Cold therapy, when applied as soon as possible after an injury, produces a vasoconstrictive effect that inhibits pain (analgesic), reduces fluid buildup (anti-inflammatory), reduces swelling (anti-edematous), and reduces bleeding (antihemorrhagic).
Treating Muscle Pain and Osteoarthritis
