Therapeutic effects of infrared:

2. Muscle spasm. Induces muscle relaxation by sedative effect on the nerve, increased blood circulation and removal of metabolites.
3. oint stiffness. Minimize the joint stiffness due to increased extensibility of connective tissue as a result of increase in local temperature and due to relief of pain, spasm and inflammation.
