Heat Therapy for Fibromyalgia
Heat Therapy for Fibromyalgia Pain
Afraid exercise will be painful when you have fibromyalgia? Try heat applications before and after exercise to ease pain and stiffness. Heat therapy boosts your body's own healing force, dilating blood vessels, stimulating blood circulation, reducing muscle spasms, and altering the sensation of pain. You can try dry heat -- like heating pads or heat lamps -- or moist heat, such as warm baths or heated wash cloths.
