Over 5.3 million visits are made every year to a physician’s office due to foot and ankle problems. Of these, 1.6 million visits involve ankle sprains (ligament injuries) and 950,000 visits are for treatment of ankle fractures. Certain medical conditions of the foot and ankle, such as osteoarthritis and Achilles tendonitis may require heat and/or cold therapy, depending on the stage and severity of the condition. Heat and cold therapy, when used under a physician’s or therapist’s direction, can help reduce discomfort, assist with tissue repair, and reduce swelling and inflammation.

Thermaboot™ is a heat and cold therapy device designed to cover the entire foot and ankle, leaving no area untreated. Thermaboot™ can be heated in a microwave to provide moist heat therapy; or, Thermaboot™ can be placed in your kitchen freezer and used for cold therapy when needed. Thermaboot™ will not slip or slide off of the injured area because it fits like a boot. Thermaboot™ gives the patient comfortable heat and cold therapy every treatment.

There are other important reasons to completely cover the foot and ankle when heat and cold therapy are used on this particular part of the body.

One reason is blood circulation. Among the most difficult areas of the body to promote nutrient and oxygen-rich blood flow to and from are the feet and ankles. Thermaboot™ Heat/Cold Therapy helps promote circulation to the entire foot and ankle as opposed to only a smaller, localized area.

Another reason to completely cover the foot and ankle for heat and cold therapy is inflammation. Inflammation can be quite unruly, not only affecting the site of injury but enveloping surrounding healthy tissue as well. Thermaboot™ helps treat these secondary areas affected by inflammation and discomfort without concern or worry about leaving any areas of the foot and ankle untreated. The most unique feature about Thermaboot™ is found on the interior of the boot. From top to bottom and heel to toe you will find our Thermabump™ design. These solid, but flexible gel bumps assist in providing better contact to the irregularly shaped bones, bony protuberances (such as the metatarsal heads), and other contours of the foot and ankle. The Thermabump™ design helps deliver the benefits of heat or cold therapy to these hard to reach and treat areas.

Thermaboot™ has another convenient feature that works well with the Thermabump™ design—an adjustable 3-strap system. These adjustable straps are located around the ankle, forefoot, and ball of the foot. You can adjust Thermaboot™ to give a snugger fit to areas that may call for greater concentration of heat or cold therapy. The midfoot and toe straps attach and adjust on the sole of the boot. This was designed purposely to remind the patient to sit or recline when using heat and cold therapy. Thermaboot™ is not designed to be walked in. You have to take time out for your treatments, and use Thermaboot™ correctly in order to achieve the best results from heat and cold therapy.

Some studies have shown that alternating heat and cold therapy may help reduce time spent in injury rehabilitation. Thermaboot™ gives you the convenience of one device for both heat and cold therapy.

The device is easily applied and removed, and heat and cold therapy with Thermaboot™ assures you that all the areas that need treatment will receive it. Patients often ask questions, “Will this hurt?” or “How difficult is this going to be?” As we have already mentioned, Thermaboot™ is comfortable and easy to use, which will help these patients’ concerns. This adds up to a greater potential for patient compliance, which is a key factor for any successful rehabilitation program.

Remember, Thermaboot™ is available to health care professionals and for therapy in the comfort of your own home as well. So whether you need heat or cold therapy for a foot or ankle injury, or simply desire home therapy care for sore feet, Thermaboot™ may be right for you.
