The ColdOne back ice pack combines both cold and compression in a single, easy to use ice wrap that can be worn over or under clothes, with NO ICY MESS.
Typical users of the ColdOne back ice pack are those suffering from a back sprain, back pain, a sore back, backache, or back surgery.
The back ice pack is placed in a home freezer for about 2 hours to freeze the sewn in gels. The frozen back ice pack 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 back ice pack will drive cold for 20-30 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 back ice pack, and 20 minutes after removing the ice wrap. The results are truly amazing.
Before applying the back ice pack, the imaging shows high temperature in the inflammed areas. After applying the back ice 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? Well, 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).
Our breathable neoprene wrap with refreezable inner bladder keeps you dry and comfortable while providing soothing cold therapy. Unique construction helps retain body heat after gels are unfrozen. The ColdOne back ice pack relieves back pain, swelling and stiffness when gels are frozen.
Coldone back ice packs are constructed with an outer layer of nitrogen blown neoprene, a middle layer of sewn in refreezable gels, and an inner layer of rubberized linen. All three layers stretch together to provide compression you can adjust to your comfort level.
The ice wrap provides 30 minutes of cold/ice therapy plus compression to reduce swelling and back pain from injury or reoccuring injury. This is the modality most recommended by MDs and sports trainers and physical therapists.
The ColdOne back wrap can be used against skin or over clothing. No messy ice or condensation.
