There are a wide range of causes of pain in the hands, Infrared therapy is a viable option as treatment for many of these maladies. Repetitive Motion Syndrome. Raynauds Syndrome and Carpel Tunnel Syndrome to name a few are some causes of pain in these parts of your body. They present themselves as arthritic pain, muscle and joint pain and numbness in both your hand and your wrist. This can also be bilateral pain. The belief is that this is due to lack of natural infrared light.
These and many other such syndromes are extremely debilitating as they limit the use of the hands. Tasks that you and I take for granted are often out of reach for these sufferers. These people are unable to hold onto objects, open tins and jars. These basic tasks really affect people’s confidence. The severe pain and stiffness forces people with this condition to depend on others to assist them with these mundane tasks. It is times like these that we need to really be grateful for our health and for what we are able to do on a daily basis.
A highly recommended therapy for this is far infrared therapy. This infrared light in a non intrusive manner is absorbed into the hands and then gets to work on the tissues in your hands. In a sense it massages blood vessels, capillaries and nerves in your hands. This type of light is natural as it comes directly from the sun. It is easily absorbed by the body’s cells and is known as resonance absorption.
Infrared light also increases circulation and therefore speeds up blood flow. This rejuvenates and restores nerves. Stiffness of joints will disappear and you will experience far less pain in your joints. In the colder months you will notice your hands will get warmer much quicker. Skin will become softer, your nails will strengthen and your hand grip will strengthen considerably. This makes infrared therapy a must for people who suffer with the above conditions.
Infrared rays are invisible to the human eye. The healing properties of these rays are unquestioned and many would say unrivalled. Exposure to these rays whilst sunbathing is harmful as it can cause cancer and accelerates the ageing process.
The required dose of far infra light is four to fourteen microns. Unfortunately we do not receive these dosages due smog, pollution and blockage caused by high rise buildings. All these hinder the process of absorbing the therapeutic rays.
Scientists have discovered that light absorbed by the body can cause hormonal imbalance. There is rapid chain reaction that takes place in our body and this ultimately affects how we behave. The endocrine system function is dependant on light.
Photo therapy is another name for infrared therapy. Other names are light therapy and pulsed light therapy.
There have been innumerable clinical trials and research done to ensure the safety and validity of infra therapy. Tests have proven without a shadow of doubt that infrared therapy does in fact ease pain and improve circulation, This benefit extends to amongst other conditions, pain, numbness and chronic wounds.
