What is Infrared Light Therapy?

Infrared Light and infrared light therapy are used to treat pain and inflammation for various parts of the body. Not to be confused with ultraviolet light, which can be harmful to the skin, infrared light helps to enhance cell regeneration. The infrared light is delivered to the site of injury or inflammation at certain wavelengths during an infrared light therapy session by promoting cell repair which is amazing! Infrared light has the ability to penetrate deeper layers of the skin to provide pain relief and reduce inflammation, among so much more. Infrared light is natural, non-invasive, and painless.

Additionally, infrared light increases the production of nitric oxide, a vital molecule that is important for blood vessels. This molecule helps to relax the arteries and prevents blood from clotting in the vessels. Nitric oxide is also essential in improving blood circulation, which provides more oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues. Some of the other health benefits of infrared light therapy include:

• Relieves pain
• Reduces inflammation
• Relieves sore muscles
• Enhances recovery
• Faster wound healing time
• Promotes relaxation and a feeling of wellness
• Improves circulation
• Body detoxification
