Theratherm Digital Moist Heating Pad - Medium 14" x 14"
The Theratherm Digital Moist Heating Pad is a clinical-grade solution for those who require high-intensity heat therapy in a versatile, mid-sized format. While standard heating pads often provide uneven, dry heat that only sits on the surface, the Theratherm uses a specialized flannel cover to draw moisture from the atmosphere. When heated, this moisture is driven deep into the soft tissue, significantly increasing local blood flow and providing faster relief for localized muscle spasms and joint stiffness.

Localized Relief Through Precision Control
The Medium Theratherm Digital Pad is designed for those who find standard $14" \times 27"$ pads too bulky for targeted joint work. Its square footprint makes it remarkably easy to drape over a shoulder or wrap around a leg, ensuring 100% contact with the painful area. By utilizing the digital controller, you can bypass the "Low/Med/High" guesswork of retail pads and set the unit to the exact degree recommended by your doctor or therapist.
Moist heat is medically proven to reach deeper into muscle fibers than dry heat. By increasing the temperature of the underlying tissue, Theratherm facilitates the healing process by flushing out toxins and bringing oxygenated blood to the area. It is a highly effective, drug-free method for managing chronic inflammation and improving range of motion.
