The use of heat as a remedy for back pain, sciatica or the consequences of more severe lower back issues, has been terribly popular but people fall frequently into the same old trap. Heat feels nice, when you’re in pain, the gravitation to things that feel nice is always a natural inevitability. Once more, the most common misdiagnosis is that back pain is just ‘muscular’, with this frequent misdiagnoses the usage of heat would be at least rational.
