Regarding lower back pain
Sir/ma'am
My grandfather aged 72 is having lower back pain due to age and obesity issue. He is also CANCER SURVIVOR (Stage-4A oral cancer buccal mucosa) and disease free since 2 years. Our orthopaedic doctor said pain is due to ageing and obesity, recommended pain killer and excercise too . My query is can we use heating belts for massage daily 30 min in lower back? The heating belt is of ceragem company and temperature is between 35-45 Celcius. Are these belt safe to use considering his cancer history? Kindly guide. Photograph attached.
