Heat almost always has a beneficial effect. However, genuine, therapeutic deep heat of 42 degrees Celsius is crucial for effective and lasting relief from back pain and tension.

As the heat in patches made from capsaicin or activated charcoal and iron is simulated by irritation or a chemical reaction, they only have an effect on the surface. As a result, these types of heat plasters only have a short-term effect and cannot relieve muscle tension in the long term as the heat generated cannot reach the muscle. Furthermore, the effect of chemical heat patches made from activated charcoal and iron has not yet been convincingly proven.

In the same way, disposable heat patches are deceptive from an economic point of view: heat patches are very expensive to buy in the long term, considering that each patch can only be used once. Extrapolated, the use of the Calopad® therapy device with 4 adhesive tapes in the starter set is already cheaper than disposable heat plasters from 10 applications. In addition, the reusable nature of Calopad® is more environmentally friendly than the constant disposal of disposable plasters.

For long-term and profound relief of pain and tension, therapeutic deep heat, as provided by Calopad®, is the most effective solution. Unlike disposable heat patches, which only provide superficial heat and are less economically viable, Calopad® offers a sustainable, environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative.
