hot and cold therapy pads or massage cushions?
my dad has a pinched nerve in his back and down his leg, What is the better product you can buy? Can you recommend some please? Thanks.
Unfortunately, we need more information to really help answer the question.
My sincere recommendation would be to have him see a good team of therapists including a Chiropractor or Osteopath and a Massage Therapist.
The reason I say this is because first, the two work well together, and second, if the bones are pinching (or more correctly impinging on) the nerve then Chiropractic or Osteopathic Manipulation will grant the most efficient results for the dollar but if the problem is a muscle impinging on the nerve then massage will likely grant the most efficient results for the dollar.
Either way, either one of them could direct you to the more efficient therapy, hot or cold.
As for the massage cushions, since they lack the education and awareness of a trained massage therapist I find them to have nearly zero therapeutic value.
I am including a link to find a massage therapist in the USA. Most massage therapists (myself included) have at least one Chiropractor or Osteopath that they work with.
