Why Choose the Chattanooga Spinal HotPac?

The Chattanooga Spinal HotPac stands out due to its therapeutic versatility and oversized design. Unlike standard heating pads, the moist heat from a HotPac penetrates deeper into the fascia and muscle layers, significantly increasing local blood circulation and range of motion. This 10" x 24" version is specifically engineered to treat the neck, mid-back, and lower back in one comprehensive application.

The pack is easy to apply and conforms to the body's natural curves, ensuring maximum surface contact without air gaps. It is a time-tested, chemical-free method for managing severe back pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms. The high-quality canvas and reinforced stitching are built to withstand constant submersion in 160°F water, ensuring professional-grade longevity.

Maintenance is straightforward. The bentonite clay filling provides a heavy, comforting pressure that helps the heat reach deeper tissues. The pack features color-coded tabs, allowing clinic staff to easily identify and rotate packs during busy hours to ensure every patient receives a fully heated treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can this pack be used without a hydrocollator?

While designed for professional heating units, it can be heated in hot water on a stove; however, it must never be microwaved as this will damage the clay filling and the fabric.

How should I store the pack if not in use?

If the pack will not be used for an extended period, it should be placed in a sealed plastic bag and stored in the freezer to prevent the natural clay from drying out.

Does it require a cover during treatment?

Yes. To prevent skin irritation or burns, the HotPac should always be wrapped in a Chattanooga Terry Cover or several layers of heavy towels before being applied to the patient.
