Can I use ThermaCare for arthritis pain?
If you have osteoarthritis, heat therapy has been found to be helpful in providing temporary relief of the minor aches and pains associated with this form of arthritis. ThermaCare provides an effective, portable source of heat when used as directed. If you have rheumatoid arthritis (a much less common form of arthritis), you should talk with your physician before using any type of heat (including ThermaCare) to determine if heat is helpful for this condition. If you’re unsure as to which type of arthritis you have, you should talk with your physician before using ThermaCare. You, together with your physician, may consider using ThermaCare Joint & Arthritis Pain. It provides 12 hours of heat for all day pain relief associated with minor arthritis muscle aches and pains.
