I do use heating pads from time to time. The "official" directions are quite interesting. Did you know you are NOT to sit or lie down on one? So I guess if you need to put one on your back, you are to literally put it ON your back, and not you on it. 
I don't have good feeling about my body, so I do have to be careful about high heat etc. By following my physical therapist's guidelines of ONLY 15 minutes at a time, I prevent major problems (such as burns, building up a sensitivity so the heat doesn't help as much in the future etc.)
It is the same for ice packs. Any type of help is best used for 15 minutes at a time, 15 on, 15 off, 15 on etc.
