Infrared light – effect, benefits and application
Infrared light has been used for many years in both physiotherapy and home treatment to promote the body’s natural healing processes. The deep heat from infrared wavelengths penetrates the tissue, increases blood circulation and can reduce pain and inflammation. Therefore, infrared light therapy has become popular for treating everything from muscle and joint pain to injuries and inflammatory conditions.
How does infrared light work?
Unlike visible light, infrared light can penetrate deep into the skin and tissue – all the way down to muscles, tendons and joints. When the body is exposed to this type of light, the following occurs, among other things:
- Increased blood flow: The deep heat dilates the blood vessels and improves the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the treated area.
- Pain relief: The heat stimulates the body’s own production of endorphins and can reduce the experience of pain.
- Reduced inflammation: Infrared therapy can help reduce swelling and irritation in tissues, which is beneficial for conditions such as tenosynovitis, arthritis and sports injuries.
- Faster healing: Improved circulation and increased oxygenation of the tissue support the body’s repair process and promote faster recovery.
