Using the appliance

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

Possible applications:
- Treatment for occasional or chronic muscle pains, stiff muscles and stiff joints
