the effect of the infracare
The InfraCare produces infrared light, which penetrates deeply into the skin and warms the tissues.
Warmth modulates the neuronal signals to the brain and in this way reduces pain. Warming
stimulates the blood circulation and dilates the blood vessels, which accelerates the transport of
substances necessary to rebuild and nourish the body's tissues. Infrared light also speeds up the
metabolic process and the removal of waste substances from the body. Because it makes tissues
more pliable, warmth also reduces stiffness and makes joints more flexible.
Because of these effects, treatment with the InfraCare can relieve pain due to muscular and joint
problems.
therapeutic applications
The InfraCare is a local heat therapy appliance.
Possible applications:
-
Treatment for occasional or chronic muscle pains, stiff muscles and stiff joints
-
Treatment of lower-back ache (lumbago)
