The back wrap is placed in a home freezer for about 2 hours to freeze the sewn in gels. The frozen wrap is then applied and tightened to achieve compression and drive the cold deep into the soft tissues surrounding the spine and spinal muscles to stop or reduce back pain. The wrap will drive cold for 15-20 minutes and lower the internal tissue temperature by 10 degrees or more. Immediate relief of back pain is obtained and lasts for several hours.

The reduction of soft tissue temperature does 2 things. It blocks the pain receptors to give immediate back pain relief. It also reduces inflammation of the sore and tender tissues and muscles.

We have conducted Thermal Imaging of sore backs before applying the wrap, immediately after removing the wrap, and 20 minutes after removing the wrap. The results are truly amazing. Before applying the wrap, the imaging shows high temperature in the inflamed areas. After applying the back wrap for 10 minutes, the entire area covered by the wrap records significant temperature reduction of the deep tissues. AND 20 minutes later, there is virtually no evidence of inflammation as previously recorded.

Why is this important to you? Inflammation is a visual indicator of back pain and swelling. As long as inflammation is present, so is back pain and tenderness. Remove the inflammation and you remove the cause of the back pain. Application of the wrap in its frozen state several times a day will stop the inflammation and stop the back pain. Long term, the body will use its energy to heal the injured tissues instead of leaking blood and fluid into the injured area (inflammation and pain).
