Polar Pack Flexible Hot/Cold Packs - Cold Therapy - Physical Therapy Supplies

I am awaiting a three level lumbar spine fusion and have had incredible pain and muscle spasms. This pack has worked very, very well for my back spasms and the pain! This is the VERY BEST pack that I have found. These stay very flexible when frozen and the contents inside do not change composition like other ice packs I have used. The one I own now has lasted me since Oct.2008. I highly recommend them to anyone needing pain/ muscle spasm relief. I am ordering a few to keep in the freezer. I keep my freezer at about 5 degrees and it does take about a day to fully freeze, but I can still use it even if it has been in for a couple hours. I recommend applying it for 20 minutes at a time, but no more. I usually follow that up with a heating pad, but that is just what I have found works best for me.

I have had my old Polarpacks for about 8 years. Yes, they lasted that long and worked that well. If it weren't for a puppy who decided that these were pretty and chewable, they would have lasted even longer. Throw them in the freezer, adjust them into the position and place you want them to be, and, voila, you have a cold pack that works for a nice long time. The recommended time is 20 minutes, but when I have a migraine, the polar pack behind my head helps me to sleep. Migraine pain is horrible and this helps me sleep through the night. I LOVE THEM!!!!!
