What is Syntholkine Large-Size Heating Patches used for?
Back pain—also known asdorsalgia, lumbalgia, lumbago, and sometimes even kidney pain or a “twisted back”—is a common condition affecting the back region from the base of the neck to the pelvis.
This pain is very common: 80% of French people will experience back pain at least once in their lives. Most often, back pain has a mechanical cause: muscle spasms, the aftereffects of an injury, or osteoarthritis.
A “wrong” movement (rotation, bending, straightening up, raising the arms, a fall, lifting heavy loads without taking precautions, etc.) during physical activity, remaining motionless in a poor posture (a long car ride, prolonged computer work...), or repetitive movements can cause back pain.
In addition, other factors can contribute to back pain, such as being overweight, a lack of physical activity, or stress.
Your daily life and sports activities can sometimes cause muscle pain. You’re looking for an effective and comfortable product that provides long-lasting relief at any time of day.
TheSyntholKinéExtended-Area Heating PatchfromGlaxoSmithKline isan effective solution for quickly relieving back muscle pain (upper and lower back), shoulders, and neck in adults and children ages 12 and older:
- They are designed to relieve muscle pain through heat (thermotherapy), an effective and natural solution regularly used by physical therapists.
- Long-lasting relief: for 8 hours, they deliver gentle, constant therapeutic heat deep into the muscles, effectively relieving muscle pain.
- Theywork quickly: the patch begins to heat up after just a few minutes.
Comfortable and flexible,SyntholKiné Large-Area Heating Patchesare designed to conform perfectly to the body’s contours and follow your movements. Plus, they’re easy to apply and remove. Discreet and odorless, they provide relief while allowing you to stay active. Tense muscles are relaxed, and pain is soothed.
How the Heating Patch Works: The patches contain heat-generating agents (iron, activated charcoal, water, etc.) that produce heat upon contact with air. The diffusion of heat increases blood flow, improves the supply of oxygen and essential nutrients, and facilitates the elimination of toxins. This therapeutic heat is released continuously for 8 hours to relieve your cramps and relax your tense muscles and soreness. You’ll feel soothed and relaxed. The patches release only heat: no substances are absorbed into the body.

Advice from our orthopedic pharmacist
Treating traumatic, joint, tendon, and arthritic pain
Management of traumatic, joint, tendon, and arthritic pain (bruises, blows, impacts, strains, sprains, tendinitis, dislocations, arthritis) involves 3 steps:
- Cryotherapy 3 times a day withTherm-Cool Cold Sprayor the Thera-Pearl cold pack (apply for 15 to 20 minutes)
- Relieve pain and inflammation withTherm-cool Pain Relief Gel, applying it with a light massage without rubbing it in.
- Support and immobilize using asplint, brace, ankle brace, knee brace, etc.
These conditions are characterized bypain, edema, swelling, bruising, and inflammation.
Cold therapy, 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
The management of muscle pain and osteoarthritis (back pain, low back pain, osteoarthritis, muscle spasms, and muscle soreness) involves three steps:
- Apply heat usingThermacare heating patchesor theThera-pearl heat pack(apply for 15 to 20 minutes)
- Relieve pain and promote relaxation and recovery withNociceptol pain-relief gel; apply by massaging gently without rubbing it in.
- Provide support using alumbar support belt, neck brace, orcervical collar.
These conditions are characterized bypain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
Heat therapy improves mobility, reduces pain signals (analgesic effect), promotes muscle relaxation, and reduces muscle spasms and soreness.
