Oh, no. I hate when there is anything neck or back related with these active little terriers! Hopefully it is muscular and no discs are involved with him. I use the moist heat on myself when I have resolving strains/sprains or an arthritic flare in my knee but I use the moisture directly on the skin to help the heat penetrate better with no plastic in between. Hard to do that on a little one without having to dry the hair with the hairdryer but my ortho docs always said moist heat is so much more effective than any dry heat in helping muscles relax & heal.
