Pain - Stiffness - inflammation

These are only some of the physical symptoms you have to deal with when you have Arthritis. If you are someone (as I am) that suffers from arthritis, you know it can really get in the way of your health and livelihood.

I have never been one to take pain pills, but I understand the people that have no choice.

It feels like there’s no end in sight, right? Only more doctor appointments.

Are you supposed to accept this and keep taking pills forever?

The answer is NO.

Pain  and inflammation from Arthritis can be dramatically relieved in your home – naturally and fast – through light therapy for arthritis. That's right, at your home!

In this post you’ll find:

1. Why infrared light therapy (laser light therapy) is the best (proven!) drug-free & non-invasive way to relieve arthritis pain – fast (sometimes within minutes!).

It’s quite simple:

Infrared light is the heat you feel when you’re out in the sun.

This powerful heat penetrates deep into your tissues – all the way through your muscles to your nerves and bones.

In technical terms, infrared therapy uses light between 600 – 1000nm in wavelength, which is invisible to the human eye.

Your body experiences infrared energy as a gentle radiant heat which can penetrate up to 1.5 inches (almost 4 cm) beneath your skin!

The light is emitted either through LED bulbs (in infrared lamps/handheld devices) or through natural jade/Amethyst stones (Soon to be stocked here)

Infrared waves go deep in your body and naturally raise your body’s temperature, which quickly speeds up your blood circulation.

The results:

1. Fast pain relief – via pain-reducing components in your blood

2. Inflammation reduction – via reductions in inflammatory proteins 1. 2. (FIR therapy was proven to significantly reduce pain and inflammation of Osteoarthritis over a 24-hour period (Michael R Hamblin, 2013))

In short:

Far and Near Infrared light therapy for Arthritis helps your body do what it knows best (healing!) – only much faster, and better.

And:

Infrared rays treatments are side-effect-free ..... yes you read that right. There aren't any known side effects to infrared light therapy.

But which type of arthritis are we talking about?

The great news is that both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis are helped with Red light therapy. The two studies listed above are examples of Osteoarthritis and this one below is Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).

"In patients with RA, relative to a separate control group, LLLT reduced pain by 70% relative to placebo and reduced morning stiffness by 27.5 min (95% CI -52.0 to -2.9), and increased tip to palm flexibility by 1.3 cm (95% CI -1.7 to -0.8) (brosseo et al)"

How accessible are these devices?

Luckily, these days you can own an infrared home device, and use it any time you need it, for as long as you need it.

All home devices are easy to use. You just plug them in and relax for the next few minutes.

No traveling to a treatment center, no waiting until the morning or next week for a doctor appointment.

And of course, no painkillers.

How Long is Treatment Time for Arthritis?

Treatment time ranges between 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the severity of your pain.

The treatment is painless, and you can enjoy the gentle heat while reading a book, watching TV, or better yet – just closing your eyes and resting.

What about the price?

Look:

When you want to start infrared treatments, you can go the expensive way, or the cost-effective way: 

Expensive options are:

1. Medical infrared treatments (pricey)

2. Infrared heating beds in spas and clinics (many sessions, high price per session)

3. Infrared sauna treatments (Or buying an infrared heating sauna)

A more cost effective method could be:

  

We have Micro therapy lights available and targeted lights ranging from 850kr all the way up 3600kr. 

The devices just plug into the socket and provide the same benefits as the "pricey" options, but come with a significantly lower price tag in the long run.

The Micro is for people with small areas of inflammation and pain and want to target a specific and small area - hands, feet, ankle, elbow (smaller joints). 

More than a few studies have proven that Laser treatments are helpful for Osteoarthritis in the hands and feet, including reducing pain (by 1.10 points on a scale of 1-10) and morning stiffness duration (by 28 minutes!).

IR therapy is also proven to improve range of motion, function, swelling and grip strength – in the long term.

The Target therapy light is a bigger more powerful therapy device that will cover a slightly bigger area (perhaps you have arthritis in the hip or both knees).

I use both the Micro and target devices almost daily (I use one or the other daily)  in order to keep up with my daughter! 

Soon I will be stocking full body devices, so if you are someone with more "global" arthritis and pain, I will be in a position to help you too.

Have a great energy rich and pain free day.
