Infrared Sauna Pain Relief
Infrared saunas heat works by penetrating joint, muscles and tissues, increasing circulation and speeding oxygen flow. By reducing soreness on nerve endings, the infrared heat reduces muscle spasms and helps the body heal itself naturally.
For years, doctors have recommended infrared saunas because of proven relief from sports injury, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis and other chronic pain conditions.
Infrared wavelengths penetrate the body to create heat, which creates profound therapeutic benefits. They increase blood flow to the muscles, delivering more concentrated oxygen, which creates more energy to heal.

A recent Japanese study published in the journal, Internal Medicine, showed that chronic pain patients experiences a significant reduction on pain levels (nearly 70%) after the first session of infrared sauna therapy. Pain scores also decreased significantly and remained low throughout the observation period. Researchers concluded that infrared heat therapy is effective for chronic pain treatment.
