Rent the NICE1 · Spine
Cold therapy for back and neck recovery, no frozen towels
Cold therapy for the back or neck usually means lying on something frozen and waiting for it to warm up. The NICE1 takes a different approach: a lumbar wrap with straps, or an upper cervical wrap, with cold circulating at a temperature you choose, and holding there for the whole session.
Recovery
What to expect
- Recovery plans for spine procedures vary widely, your surgeon's instructions come first for positioning, movement and cold therapy.
- Purpose-made wraps mean you're not arranging ice packs behind your back or under your neck and hoping they stay.
- Cold therapy between physiotherapy sessions can help manage soreness as activity increases.
- Overnight use is supported if your care plan calls for longer sessions.
General information, not medical advice. Your surgeon's plan always comes first.

Common questions
Which wrap do I need for my back?
For the lower back, the Lumbar with Straps wrap; for the neck and upper spine, the Cervical Upper wrap. We'll confirm the right one when we call you after your inquiry.
Can I lie down while it runs?
The wraps strap in place, so you're not balancing on an ice pack. Follow your surgeon's positioning guidance, and ask them how they'd like cold therapy incorporated.
