Health Benefits of Infrared Technology
During the last 25 years, extensive research has been completed in the use and the benefits of Infrared Technology as it relates to the beneficial outcomes of health issues.
Leading in this area of research are Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians publishing many reports on their provocative findings. Japan has an Infrared Society, composed of medical doctors and physical therapists, which are completing further research to support the health benefits of infrared technology as a method of healing.
Using Infrared Technology Japanese researchers have reported success on the following conditions:
Musculoskeletal Cases - Japanese researchers have reported much success with Infrared treatments for the following conditions:
- TMJ Arthritis
- Traumatic Arthritis
- Acel-decel Injury Sequelae
- Disc-protrusion Related Neuralgia
- Brain Contusion – accelerated healing
- Tight Shoulders – relaxed
- Compression Fracture – Example: pain stopped for 3 days with only a single treatment
- Spinal Cord Shock – post traumatic shock reversed
- Muscle Tension – relaxed
- Post-exercise Muscle Pain – vital to competitive athletes
- Arthritis: Gouty, Rheumatoid, DJD – each substantially relieved or improved
- Shoulder Pain – relieved or eliminated
- Muscle Spasms – reduced or eliminated
- Low Back Pain – relieved
- Adhesions – lengthened or more easily broken; they are common in competitive athletes, trauma and repetitive stress syndromes
- Bursitis – eliminated
Sprains, strains etc – According to the McGraw/Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, Medical practitioners are using Infrared Radiant Heat to treat sprains, strains, bursitis, peripheral vascular diseases, arthritis, and muscle pain…
O & P Medical Clinic in Japan – Dr. Masao Nakamura has reported great success with the use of infrared treatments for:
- Whiplash
- Sciatica
- Menopause
- Arthritis Shoulder Stiffness
- Insomnia
- Rheumatism
- Acne
- Gastroenteric Problems
- Ear Diseases
Rheumatoid Arthritis Case Studies using Infrared Therapy
Rheumatoid Arthritis (Sweden and Japan) – A case study was reported in Sweden of a 70 year-old man with Rheumatoid Arthritis secondary to acute rheumatic fever. He had reached his toxic limit on Gold injections and his Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate was still 125. Within 5 months of being treated with Infrared Therapy, his ERS was down to only 11.
In a case of Rheumatoid Arthritis in a 14-year-old, Swedish girl who couldn’t walk comfortably downstairs due to knee pain since she had been eight years old, her rheumatologists told her mother that her child would be in a wheelchair within two years if she refused gold corticosteroid therapy. However, after 3 infrared therapy treatments, she began to become more agile and subsequently took up folk dancing, without the aid of the conventional approach in her recovery.
A clinical trial in Japan reported the successful solution of seven out of seven cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis treated with infrared therapy. These case studies and the clinical trial indicate that further study is warranted on the use of infrared therapy in the care of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
