Theratherm Digital Moist Heating Pad - Standard 14" x 27"
The Theratherm Digital Moist Heating Pad is a professional-grade therapeutic device designed for those who require precision in their heat therapy. Unlike traditional heating pads that offer limited "Low/Med/High" settings, the Theratherm features a fully programmable digital controller. This allows users to target the exact temperature needed to reach deep muscle tissue and increase local blood circulation, making it a favorite among physical therapists and chronic pain patients alike.

Quick Summary
- Digital Precision: Fully adjustable temperature and timer settings for a customized therapy session.
- Automatic Moist Heat: No sponges or water required; the high-quality flannel cover draws moisture from the atmosphere.
- Safe & Secure: Features a lockout mode to prevent accidental setting changes during a treatment session.
- Deep Penetration: Moist heat is proven to penetrate deeper than dry heat, reaching into the joints and soft tissue.
- Full Back Coverage: The generous $14" \times 27"$ dimensions ensure the entire spinal column is treated simultaneously.
The Clinical Advantage of Digital Control
The Theratherm Digital Moist Heating Pad offers a significant advantage over manual units: Consistency. With the digital hand control, you can set your desired temperature up to $166^\circ\text{F}$ and trust the internal sensors to maintain that heat throughout the duration of your session. This eliminates the "hot and cold" cycles found in lower-end retail pads.
Moist heat therapy is particularly effective for conditions such as Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Back Strains, and Muscle Spasms. By driving heat deeper into the body, Theratherm helps to relax tight muscles and improve range of motion faster than standard dry heat applications. The included flannel cover is specifically designed to maximize moisture retention and provide a soft, comfortable barrier against the skin.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need to get the cover wet?
No. The Theratherm is designed to be used dry. The flannel cover naturally absorbs moisture from the humidity in the air, which is then released into the skin once the pad reaches therapeutic temperatures.
How is this different from a standard heating pad?
Most standard pads reach about $130^\circ\text{F}$ and provide dry heat. The Theratherm reaches $166^\circ\text{F}$ and provides moist heat, which is medically proven to be more effective for deep-seated muscle and joint pain.
Is the cover washable?
Yes. The flannel cover can be removed and machine washed (cool water, air dry recommended) to maintain hygiene, especially in a multi-user or clinical environment.
