Infrared therapy is a unique treatment that utilizes the healing power of specific wavelengths of light to improve pain, increase sensory nerve velocity, increase endorphins that influence pain, decreases muscles spasms, and accelerates healing of tissues. Infrared light therapy is a very simple and painless style of treatment. The purpose of the treatment is for the energy from the various wavelengths to penetrate beneath the skin and then they are absorbed by deep tissues.
Infrared light therapy is very helpful in treating acute pain and swelling, sprains and strains. They also aid in sports injuries, especially with stiffness associated with neck, midback, low back or joint pain. One of the most beneficial aspects of this treatment is its ability to help with poor circulation associated with chemotherapy, diabetes, and vascular diseases.
