The benefits of hot compress on the waist

Physical therapy occupies an increasingly important position in people's lives, because many people have proved through personal practice that physical therapy can indeed achieve certain therapeutic effects on the human body, and hot compress is one of the forms of physical therapy. Hot compress can relieve soft tissue pain and promote blood circulation. Many people experience waist pain, so what are the benefits of applying hot compresses to the waist frequently?

1. What is the best hot compress for the waist?

After one or two days of ice application, you can switch to heat therapy. Place a soft towel in warm water and wring out. Lie on your back with a pillow under your hips and ankles. Lay a towel flat on the painful area on your back, cover it with a plastic bag, and then place a heating plate on it and adjust it to medium heat. If possible, add a layer of weight to provide heat and moisture, which can help relieve muscle cramps.

2. How to do dry hot compress

It is often used to relieve spasms, relieve pain and keep warm. Pour cold and hot water into an enamel can together, the water temperature should be 50℃ (adjust with a water thermometer for more accuracy), then pour into a hot water bag, the amount filled should be 1/2 to 2/3 of the hot water bag's capacity, expel the air in the bag, tighten the stopper, wipe it dry and turn the hot water bag upside down to see if there is any leakage, finally put it into a cloth cover or wrap it with a towel and place it on the part of the sick child where it is needed. If there is no hot water bottle, an empty glucose bottle or plastic pot (bottle) can be used instead. As long as it does not deform or leak when exposed to hot water, it can be used. The heating time is generally more than 20 to 30 minutes. This method is convenient and commonly used, but its penetrating power is not as good as the moist heat compress method.

3. How to apply moist heat compress

Commonly used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic purposes. Place a rubber sheet (or plastic sheet) and a towel under the hot and wet compress area to avoid getting your clothes and bedding wet. Apply Vaseline (or cooking oil, the area should be larger than the hot compress area) to the skin that needs hot compress, and then cover it with a layer of gauze. Wring out a small towel soaked in hot water (until there is no water dripping), test the temperature with your wrist, and make sure it is not too hot. Fold it and apply it to the affected area of ​​the child, then cover it with a dry towel to keep it warm.

If the affected area does not require pressure, you can also place a hot water bottle on a small towel and then cover it with a large towel to keep it moist for better results. The temperature of the wet hot compress should be tolerable to the child and not feel hot. It should be changed every 3 to 5 minutes and usually last for 15 to 20 minutes. After the hot compress is completed, remove the gauze, wipe off the Vaseline, and put on clothes. Moist heat compress has strong penetrating power and therefore has a good anti-inflammatory effect. During the heat application process, close observation should be made because sick children often cannot cooperate well and care should be taken to prevent burns. When applying hot compresses to wounds, attention should be paid to aseptic operation and the wound dressing should be changed after application. For those who apply hot compresses to the face, it is not advisable to go out within half an hour after application to prevent colds.

1. Eat less milk, goat's milk and other dairy products, as well as peanuts, chocolate, millet, cheese, toffee and other foods containing tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan, because they can produce arthritis-causing mediators such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, tyrosine kinase autoantibodies and anti-milk IgE antibodies, which can easily cause allergies and cause arthritis to worsen, relapse or worsen.

3. Eat less sweets, because their sugars can easily cause allergies, aggravate the development of joint synovitis, and easily cause joint swelling and increased pain.

4. Drink less alcohol, coffee, tea and other beverages, and be careful to avoid passive smoking, as they can aggravate the deterioration of arthritis.
