FAR-INFRARED HEAT DECREASES JOINT STIFFNESS WITH PAIN RELIEF

Pain may be relieved via the reduction of attendant or secondary muscle spasms. Pain is also at times related to ischemia due to tension or spasm which can be improved by the hyperthermia that heat produces, thus breaking the feedback loop, in which the ischemia leads to further spasm and then more pain.

Heat has been shown to reduce pain sensation by direct action on both free-nerve endings in tissues and on peripheral nerves. In one dental study, repeated heat applications led finally to the abolishment of the whole nerve responsible for pain arising from dental pulp. Heat may both lead to increased endorphin production and a shutting down of the "spinal gate" each of which can reduce pain.

Successes Reported with Infrared Treatments by Medical Researchers in the Following Types of Cases:

TMJ Arthritis

• Acel-dacel Injury Sequelae
• Tight Shoulders - relaxed
• Spinal Cord Shock - post traumatic shock reversed
• Muscle Tension - relaxed
• Shoulder Pain - relieved or eliminated
• Bursitis - eliminated
• Muscle Spasms - reduced or eliminated
• Low Back Pain - relieved
• Compression Fracture - pain eliminated for 3 days with only a single treatment
• Post-exercise Muscle Pain - IR proven vital to competitive athletes
• Arthritis: Gouty, Rheumatoid, Traumatic, DJD - each substantially relieved or improved

Injuries

Radiant heat helps with sprains, strains, arthritis, muscle spasm and pain. If you are an athlete, an Infrared Sauna is only good news. It expels the proper amount of oxygen to be released to repair such aches and pain.
