The VitalWrap System can be used to relieve joint inflammation and swelling caused by osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis among older people. Because heat loosens muscles and relieves stiffness, while cold eases pain and inflammation, the combined therapies of the VitalWrap System make it easier for people with osteoarthritis to stay active and exercise.
Heat, massage, and stretching have long proved successful in helping arthritis sufferers live more active lives. Your doctor or healthcare provider may recommend heating, cooling, compression, or contrast therapy (the alternating application of heat and cold) as part of a comprehensive arthritis pain management program.
Safe, simple, and effective Safer than heating pads or ice packs, the VitalWrap System provides precise temperature control from 40° F to 105° F and uses specialized wraps that conform comfortably to your body. The system is designed to apply thermal therapy for periods extending well beyond those normally recommended for conventional devices. The control unit also allows the user to switch between heat and cold at the twist of a dial, making it ideal for contrast therapy.
Covered by insurance When properly prescribed by a physician or qualified healthcare provider, Medicare, workers’ compensation, and many private insurance plans will cover the VitalWrap System.
Talk with your doctor Not all pain-relief treatments are appropriate for every patient. You should talk with your doctor to determine whether the VitalWrap System is appropriate for your condition.
