HOW DOES IT WORK?

As the infrared energy penetrates, it safely and gently heats the tissues and blood supply within the affected area. Your body’s natural response to this increased temperature is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis — a balanced environment or state of equilibrium throughout the body.

To do this, your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area. Your blood vessels actually increase in diameter, a change called vasodilation, and allow oxygen and nutrients in the bloodstream to pass through the walls more easily—and to start to regenerate the damaged cells and tissues. In the same way, toxic substances in the damaged cells can also pass back into the bloodstream more easily, to be filtered and eliminated by organs such as the kidneys, lungs, and digestive tract.

As the damaged or inflamed area receives this increased supply of blood, the cells are nourished and cleansed and you experience an actual reduction in pain.
