Infrared light therapy dramatically increases blood flow to injured areas and is a blessing for people suffering with any condition characterized by pain, inflammation, and/or decreased circulation such as diabetic neuropathy, arthritis, and hard-to-heal wounds.

What is Infrared Light Therapy?

Infrared light therapy (brands include HealthLight and Anodyne), is a unique treatment that harnesses the healing power of infrared light. It emits special wavelengths of energy which dramatically increase circulation to injury sites and areas of chronic pain. The result is rapid relief of discomfort.

How Does Infrared Light Therapy Work?

Treatment with the infrared light therapy system is simple and painless. Flexible pads, each containing multiple infrared lights, are placed directly on the skin over the area of pain or injury. Energy from the lights penetrates beneath the skin and is absorbed by deep tissues. After just 30 minutes of treatment, blood flow is enhanced by 400 percent, and this boost in local circulation persists for several hours after the pads are removed.

The key to this dramatic improvement in blood flow is nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a short-lived gas that is crucial to the health of the arteries. This powerful signaling molecule relaxes the arteries, helps regulate blood pressure, fights free radicals, and discourages platelets from clumping together in the blood vessels. Infrared energy prompts the release of nitric oxide, which enhances blood flow in the immediate vicinity, bringing oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues.

By increasing the production of nitric oxide and improving circulation, infrared light therapy relieves pain.
