I´d first of all try to have her reduce her fat intake. Ultimately reducing her weight. This would be the first steps. Then you should consider a wellness program.
I would think that would be fine. I use a rice sock, take a tube sock, fill with 3 cups rice,nuke for 2-3minutes. It will be VERY HOT!!!!!!!!!Place where the pain is, and relax. The deep moist heat should help with the pain in the neck/back.
Yes…the plain ans is yes.. Now let’s dig it a bit….. the heat in any form gives a bit of releif in the inflamation in many ways… it increases the blood flow to the area,It increases the joints mobility by making the ligaments a bit loose and have a relaxing effect on the muscles…and thus can decrease the spasm of the back muscles. The only negative point to consider is that a long standing diabetic can have a neropathy …meaning that his nerves will be less sensitive to the heat sensation and if the pad is too hot that can burn. This is especially true in case of the feet …. any way the back, neck areas are usually not that much affected by this peripheral neuropathy, so theoratically the chances of burning in this area are much less…Even the ultrasonic wave therapy used by the physiotherapist actually heat the local area and have the same effect but is a bit better, because of the better penetration……
