Quick Healing With Infrared Light Therapy

By Lucia Weeks


Scientific studies into the properties of light has shown signs of its benefits to the body. Infrared light, a ray outside the visible light spectrum over the past few decades has proven usability in medicine as infrared light therapy. This ray cannot be seen by most people and is radiated by most bodies at room temperature in the form of thermal radiation.

A lot of success has been chalked up in the research into treating ailments with this technology. Illnesses as common as muscle ache to more complex ones like brain damage have all been shown to respond positively to infrared treatment. The rays are able to penetrate into the body tissues without the need to cut through surface tissues. This kind of treatment can be used to remedy skin infections, wounds, scars as well as burns.

The technology can be used therapeutically to improve a person's cardiovascular system. Subjecting the body to infrared waves improves nitric oxide metabolism in the cells. This increases the flow of blood through the blood vessels. Improved circulation reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. This treatment also helps the production of more blood capillaries, hence reducing the risk of hypertension.

The increase in blood circulation in the human body resulting from the use of the technology is also beneficial to the muscles. More oxygen is delivered to the muscle cells for the synthesis of energy. Muscles exposed to this invisible rays can therefore perform better on physical activities because of better energy production. Muscle contraction is also improved with this treatment. This is because the production of adenosine tri-phosphate is stimulated by a kind of electromagnetic radiation. This chemical is the main source of energy for muscle contraction activities. The treatment is therefore useful in the treatment of stroke related muscle contraction problems.

Healing of injured muscles with the technology has also proven successful. The improvement in the rate of blood flow when this invisible ray is thrown on a part of the body means more oxygen reaches injured tissue cells more quickly. More nutrients and chemicals needed for the repair of the injured cells are also delivered at a faster rate. This leads to the quick healing of scars, wounds and acupuncture points.

Treatment using this technology has been proven to minimize the effects of brain damage. This is considered a safer treatment since it does not involve surgery. A special headgear, made to emit light rays is put on the head of the patient to deliver rays near the infrared wavelength to the brain cells. This improves the oxygen supply to the cells close to the clot areas. This prevents the death of those cells and stimulates the recovery of injured ones.

Some nervous system problems are also treatable with the help of this technology. Nerve cells have been shown to regenerate when subjected to this treatment. Injured nerve tissues also heal quickly when this invisible ray is directed on them. This is a safer alternative treatment because it requires no surgery. Though the research into this area is not conclusive, it is being used by some medical practitioners.

Studies are also ongoing in the area of treating sleep disorders with this technology. Infrared has proven to relax the body and relieve pain. This can lead to better sleep patterns and can be helpful especially to those suffering from insomnia. Depression can also be treated using this treatment.
