How Infrared Therapy Can Help You and Your Arthritis Pain

Please note: Infrared technology is also known as far infrared, fir, and radiant heat.

Infrared Therapy relieves arthritis pain by the following:

  • Reduces swelling, inflammation, stiffness and pain.
  • Ability to perform daily basic tasks such as walking, preparing food, or brushing teeth with ease because your pain will be manageable.
  • Promotes healing and provides aid in a true relaxed state allowing you to live your life, manage the pain, and assist in a better nights sleep.
  • Energizes the body.
  • Increases circulation all over the body.
  • Provides new healthy oxegenated blood cells to reach all vital organs.
  • Removes toxins from the body (either natural build-up in the body whether it be from the environment, food production, or medication).
  • Infrared heat technology provides a soothing heat in an easy, cost effective way to relieve symptoms and be pain free in the comfort of your own home.
The deep heat of our infrared sauna helps peripheral blood vessels dilate, bringing relief and healing to muscle and soft tissue injuries. In Europe, radiant heat therapy is widely used to treat patients suffering from many forms of arthritis. It has been proven effective in the treatment of sprains, neuralgia, bursitis, muscle spasms, joint stiffness and many other musculoskeletal ailments.

Increased blood circulation carries off metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen-depleted muscles so they recover faster. Muscles relax most readily when tissues are warm, promoting greater flexibility and range of motion. Much of the stiffness, aches and soreness that come with aging is reduced or eliminated.

Researchers have found that people with rheumatoid arthritis shows a 20 percent decrease in rheumatoid finger joint stiffness at 112 degrees Fahrenheit (44 degrees Celcius)as compared with 92 degrees Fahrenheit(33 degrees Celcius), a fact which would increase in importance over extended use of heat treatment.


Is the Infrared Thermal System safe for me? What Researchers Say

What exactly is radiant heat? No need to worry! It has nothing to do with either ultraviolet radiation (which gives you a sunburn and damages your skin) or atomic radiation (the kind from a nuclear bomb).

Radiant heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between. Radiant heat is also called Infrared Energy (FIR). We can, however, feel this type of light that we perceive as heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum.

Far Infrared energy is not only safe, but highly beneficial for our bodies. Far Infrared lamps are actively used for medical treatments by doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists, and massage therapists for arthritis, joints pain, stiff muscles, injuries to tendons and ligaments to promote a faster self body healing effect.

Infrared heat is "radiant" heat. Radiant heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between.

By creating an “Artificial Fever”, Far Infrared heat (FIR Heat) has a positive effect on the immune system. Often misunderstood, fever is a natural healing response of the body. The function of the immune system is increased naturally during a fever, while virus and bacterial growth is slowed, weakening its hold. This helps the body ward off invading organisms. A Far Infrared Heat (FIR Heat) treatment in the early stages of a cold or flu has been known to stop the disease before the symptoms occur. Many health practitioners use Far Infrared (FIR) as a method for removing metal toxins from the body.

Researchers say that far infrared energy is completely safe and highly beneficial for our bodies. This healing technology is used by doctors, chiropractors, acupunturists, physical therapists, and massage therapists. This infrared radiant heat is so safe and effective it is used on new borns in hospitals to keep them warm.
 
Arthritis Common Traits

  • Affects the musculoskeletal system and specifically the joints.

  • Pain, stiffness, inflammation and damage to joint cartliage and surrounding structures.

  • Leads to weakness, instability and visible deformities that can interfere with daily, basic tasks such as walking, cutting food, brushing teeth, using the phone.

Arthritis Facts

As per the Arthritis Foundation, arthritis is generalized and categorized as if it were a single disease, arthriits is actually an umbrella term used for a group of more thann 100 medical conditions that affect nearly 70 million adults and 300,000 children in America alone. The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis (OA)and most common in people over 60; however, arthritis in its various forms can start as early as infancy.

Arthritis isn’t just 1 disease; it’s a complex disorder that comprises more than 100 distinct conditions and can affect people at any stage of life. Two of the most common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

These 2 forms have very different causes, risk factors, and effects on the body, yet they often share a common symptom—persistent joint pain. The joint pain of arthritis can appear as hip pain, knee pain, hand pain, or wrist pain, as well as joint pain in other areas of the body. If you have joint pain, stiffness and/or swelling for more than 2 weeks, you may have arthritis. Make an appointment with your doctor.

Some of the best "medicine" for arthritis can't be bottled.

When you hear the word medicine, what comes to mind? Prescriptions you fill month after month? Hard-to-swallow capsules? Painful injections, messy ointments, unpleasant side effects? If that's what you think of when you think of medicine, think again. Some of the best medicine is not painful, messy or expensive, and it has no unpleasant side effects. You don't need a prescription to get it, or a doctor to administer it:

  • Lose Weight

  • Eat Well

  • Get Moving

  • Work Smarter

  • Relieve Stress and Pain

  • Get advice from you Doctor

  • Practice Injury Prevention

LOSE WEIGHT
Resolve to reduce - Lose weight. You won't just look better - you'll feel better, too. Every extra pound you gain puts four times the stress on your knees. The flip side is that even a small amount of weight loss will give your knees relief. Research has shown that losing as little as 11 pounds may cut your risk of osteoarthritis of the knee by 50 percent.

MANAGING YOU PAIN - UNDERSTANDING YOUR PAIN
Dealing with pain can be the hardest part of having arthritis or a related condition, but you can learn to manage it and its impact on your life. The first step is knowing which type of arthritis or related condition you have, because that will help determine your treatment. Before learning different management techniques, however, it’s important to understand some important concepts about pain.

NOT ALL PAIN IS ALIKE
Just as there are different types of arthritis, there also are different types of pain. Even your own pain may vary from day to day.

Each person needs a pain management plan. What works for one person may not work for someone else. You may need to try several different treatments before you find the one that works for you.

THE PURPOSE OF PAIN
Pain is your body’s alarm system that tells you something is wrong. When your body is injured, nerves in the affected area release chemical signals. Other nerves send these signals to your brain, where they are recognized as pain.

Pain often tells you that you need to act. For example, if you touch a hot stove, pain signals from your brain make you pull your hand away. This type of pain helps protect you.

Long-lasting pain, like the kind that accompanies arthritis or a related disease like fibromyalgia, is different. While it tells you that something is wrong, it often isn’t as easy to relieve. Managing this type of pain is essential to enhance your quality of life.

CAUSES OF PAIN
Pain from arthritis and related diseases is caused by several factors, such as inflammation (which is the process that causes the redness and swelling in your joints), damage to joint tissues (which results from the disease process or from stress, injury or pressure on the joints), fatigue (which results from the disease process, can make your pain seem worse and harder to handle).

Along with physical changes, such as difficulty moving around, the emotional ups and downs of arthritis also can add to your pain. If you feel depressed or stressed because your movement is limited or you can no longer do some activities you enjoy, your pain may seem worse. You can get caught in a cycle of pain, limited/lost abilities, stress and depression that makes managing pain and arthritis seem more difficult.
 
Infrared Sauna and Medical Care

Please do not substitute infrared sauna use for medical care, and do not incorporate it into your lifestyle if you have any known health problems without first consulting your physician. Although it is natural and safe, and even used to warm newborns, there are a few circumstances in which it should be avoided Caution Listing. During pregnancy, for instance, you don't want to overheat the fetus; therefore you should avoid saunas for the same reason you avoid hot tubs and electric blankets. If you are a hemophiliac, you don't want to engage in any activity that induces vasodilatation or could lead to bleeding. There are other contraindications, of course, but generally, infrared sauna use is safe and beneficial.
