Infrared Radiation Therapy also called light therapy are use in physiotherapy to manage acute or chronic pain (mainly joint and muscle pain) in patients.
In Infrared Radiation Therapy various wavelengths of light are focused to the parts of the body that have injuries.
A key characteristic of infrared light is that it has the ability to get below the skin layers and provide a much greater depth.
This in turn can be more effective in providing pain relief.
This method of Physiotherapy is natural and painless and can provide numerous health benefits, without causing damage to the skin.
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.
Benefits:
