Infrared Therapy

Meaning

Infrared Therapy is a non-invasive therapeutic modality that utilizes specific wavelengths of light within the infrared spectrum to penetrate tissue and induce beneficial physiological effects. The therapy is categorized based on wavelength, including near-infrared (NIR), mid-infrared (MIR), and far-infrared (FIR), each with varying degrees of tissue penetration and clinical application. It is clinically employed to support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, alleviate chronic pain, and enhance mitochondrial function. This form of light energy is distinct from ultraviolet light, as it is non-damaging and works by stimulating natural cellular processes.
