Infrared (IR) or thermal radiation is a band of energy in the complete electromagnetic spectrum. IR are the radiations of longer wavelength than the red end of the visible spectrum and extend to the microwave region, i.e., from 760 nm to 1 mm. IR radiation is generated by Sun. Many ancient therapies have utilized sunlight for wound healing and pain relief. When Sun rays reach the ground, they get absorbed by gases or water molecules in the atmosphere. The human body is made of 70% water, so it can potentially accumulate a large amount of energy that could modulate biological processes by strong resonant absorption of IR radiation from sunlight mediated by water molecules.
Keeping aside this basic theory, lets move on with why you need the therapy. Infrared is used for the following purposes:
pain relief
decreases muscle spasm
help recover and regenerate damaged tissue
increases the sensory nerve conduction velocity, increase in endorphins influencing the pain gate mechanism
acceleration of healing and tissue repair- pressure sores
used prior to electrical stimulation/testing or biofeedback to make the skin a better conductor
