🚨 We now offer infrared therapy at SF Connected Chiropractic! We are always looking for ways to improve your body’s function and know this will be a great tool in helping you achieve those goals!
What is infrared therapy?
Light at certain wavelengths is scientifically proven to interact with the body in beneficial ways.
Red and near-infrared wavelengths are a uniquely healing part of the electromagnetic spectrum and it is one of the most natural ways to charge the body.
Red Light:
Wavelengths ranging from 600-650nm. Red light boosts the formation of collagen and elastin, and assists cell communication. It penetrates superficially (up to 5mm) and is mainly used for skin conditions.
Near Infrared (NIR) Light:
Wavelengths ranging from 750-850nm. NIR stimulates healing, increases mitochondrial function and improves blood flow and tissue oxygenation. It penetrates deeper into the body (up to 10cm).
Applications of Infrared Light Therapy can help:
Relieve Pain:
Target the root cause of pain instead of suppressing the symptom, including muscle and joint pain, arthritis, menstrual cramps.
Repair Skin:
Enhance skin elasticity and production of collagen for an anti-aging effect, and speed up healing of wounds and scars.
Revive Immunity:
Release nitric oxide and melatonin for powerful antimicrobial effect, and help prevent infection by viruses and bacteria.
Reduce Inflammation:
Stimulate the body’s natural anti-inflammatory molecules and help your body heal more effectively.
Regain Performance:
Reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and give your body increased energy and endurance before and after exercise.
