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.

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.
