What is medical infrared treatment?

Medical Infrared treatments for pain have also been growing in popularity. Advanced mid and far infrared technology is able to reduce inflammation and pain in joints and muscles as well as give relief for nerve pain. These treatments are painless and can further orthopedic healing after surgery and in some cases have helped patients avoid surgical intervention.

Get immediate relief from pain with this non-invasive treatment!

Advanced technology delivers light that readily penetrates into muscle and joints, immediately reducing inflammation of soft tissue, muscles, and nerves. In a single treatment, the average patient achieves approximately 80% reduction in pain, and some report 100% pain relief.

Treatments take approximately 30 minutes and can be repeated in 1-2 weeks if needed.

Patient success stories include relief from acute pain from new injury and relief from chronic pain from injury or surgery years ago.

Testimonials

Patient, Age 50
Knee Pain

“Four years after knee replacement I have pain that keeps me from sleeping more than 4 hours a night. The medical infrared treatment was very helpful.”

Patient, Age 63
Back Pain

“My low back has bothered me for years, especially at night when I try to get comfortable and sleep. Dr Reil did one treatment six months ago and I have been pain free since about a week after that first treatment. She helped me to modify my habits to protect my low back too.”

Patient, Age 75
Trigeminal Neuralgia

“The flares of nerve pain in my face are less frequent and minor compared to before having medical infrared treatment. What a simple yet effective treatment. I highly recommend this for anyone with trigeminal neuralgia. Treatment is painless, the light feels warm but not hot.”

Patient, Age 49
Tailbone Pain

“My tailbone was injured many years ago and it just would not heal. I could not sit on a hard surface and it was so difficult to get comfortable sitting for long periods of time, for instance traveling in the car. After having one medical infrared treatment I was able to sit for long periods. The
only discomfort left was pain when pushing directly on the tailbone. After the second treatment, the pain has not returned. Wow.”

Patient, Age 22
Ankle Sports Injury

“My sports injury could have been career ending for playing college basketball. MRI showed an avulsion fracture and ligament injury in my ankle. Four months later it had not healed and I couldn’t get the vertical height shooting 3-point shots. Dr. Reil did medical infrared treatments once a week for 5 weeks. My ankle healed fully in 5 weeks and I was able to use my scholarship playing Division One basketball.”

Patient, Age 65
Breast Nerve Pain After Mastectomy

“Nobody told me that after bilateral mastectomy the tiny nerve endings would come back to life – making it hard to get comfortable and interfering with my sleep. Just one Medical Infrared Light treatment significantly reduced the annoying, almost constant pain.”

Patient, Age 56
SI Joint Pain

“My SI Joint pain flares up with activities like cross country skiing and doing home projects. The pain could be severe (8/10) making it hard to walk and flares could last for months. After years of suffering with SI joint pain, I tried medical infrared light treatment which has healed my joint.
It has been 3 years since my last flare.”

Patient, Age 71
Trigeminial Neuralgia

“I had 3 failed surgeries including the cyber knife for the nerve pain on one side of my face. My daughter read a study that used medical infrared light to successfully treat trigeminal neuralgia pain. Dr Reil did 8 treatments on my face spaced 4 weeks apart. My pain went from 10/10 to less than 1/10 over a 3-month timeframe and I was able to wean. completely off of the 2700mg of Neurontin I was using daily. I am still pain free 10 years later. Forever grateful!”

Patient, Age 73
Frozen Shoulder

“I was diagnosed with frozen shoulder after an injury. It was really painful and Physical Therapy did not help. I was unable lift my arm above my head. After the first medical infrared treatment I was at least 50% improved with range of motion and pain. I did two more treatments four weeks apart and was finally able to do the home exercise program that the Physical Therapist gave me. My shoulder is no longer frozen and I did not have to do surgery.”
