CASOS DE ESTUDO

Musculoskeletal Cases – success reported with infrared treatments by Japanese researchers. 


  • TMJ Arthritis
  • Muscle Spasms – reduced or eliminated
  • Traumatic Arthritis
  • Lower Back Pain – relieved
  • Aceldecel Injury Sequelae
  • Adhesions – lengthened or more easily broken; they are common in competitive athletes, trauma and repetitive stress syndromes.
  • Discprotrusion Related Neuralgia
  • Brain Contusion – accelerated healing
  • Tight shoulders – relaxed
  • Compression Fracture – Example: pain stopped for 3 days with only a single treatment
  • Spinal Cord Shock – post traumatic shock reversed
  • Muscle Tension – relaxed
  • Postexercise Muscle Pain – relieved, which is vital to competitive athletes
  • Arthritis (Gouty, Rheumatoid & DJD) – each substantially relieved or improved
  • Shoulder Pain – relieved or eliminated
  • Bursitis – eliminated

    Dr. Masao Nakamura of the O & P Medical Clinic in Japan has reported great success with the use of infrared treatment for:


  • Whiplash
  • Sciatica
  • Menopause
  • Arthritis
  • Shoulder Stiffness
  • Rheumatism
  • Acne
  • Gastro enteric Problems
  • Ear Diseases
  • Insomnia
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis 

    • A clinical trial in Japan reported the successful solution in seven out of seven cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis treated with the wholebody infrared therapy. These case studies and clinical trials indicate that further study is warranted on the usage of wholebody infrared therapy in the care of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
    The following is a summary from Therapeutic Heat and Cold, 4th Edition, Ed. Justus F. Lehmann M.D., Williams and Wilkins, Chapter 9 or concluded from the data therein. Generally it is accepted that heat produces the following desirable therapeutic effects.
    1. It increases the extensibility of collagen tissues.
    2. It decreases joint stiffness directly.
    3. It is relieves muscle spasms
    4. It produces pain relief.
    5. It increases blood flow.
    6. It assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrates, edema and exudates.
    7. More recently, it has been used in cancer therapy.
    Infrared healing is now becoming the leading edge in the care of soft tissue injuries to promote both relief in chronic and intractable ”permanent” cases, and accelerated healing in newer injuries.
    Researchers reported over 90% success in a summary of Chinese studies that assessed the effect of infrared therapy on:


  • Soft tissue injury
  • Lumbar strain
  • Periarthritis of the shoulder
  • Sciatica
  • Pain during Menstruation
  • Neurodermatitis
  • Eczema with Infection
  • Postsurgical Infections
  • Diarrhea
  • Cholecystitis
  • Neurasthenia
  • Pelvic Infection
  • Pediatric Pneumonia
  • Tineas
  • Frostbite with inflammation
  • Facial Paralysis (Bell’s Palsy) 

    • Japanese researchers, as reported in the book Infrared Therapy by Dr. Yamajaki, have produced the following provocative results.


  • Burns: relieves pain and decreases healing time, with less scarring.
  • High Blood Pressure: safe in 40 ~ 50 degrees C range and regular use helps to lower it
  • Low Blood Pressure: sauna trains body to raise it
  • Brain Damage: accelerated repair in brain contusions
  • Shortterm memory improved
  • Cancer of the tongue reversed
  • Toxic Electromagnetic Fields: effects neutralized
  • Cerebral Hemorrhages: recover is both sped up and significantly enhanced
  • Auto Accident: related soft tissue injury – daily sessions were used until best healing was attained; the residuals from such injuries lasted three days before another treatment was necessary.
  • Arthritis, acute and chronic was greatly relieved
  • Gouty Arthritis: relieved
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: relieved
  • Menopause Symptoms: relieved chills, nervousness, depression, dizziness, head and stomach aches
  • Weight Loss: first, through sweating and the energy use needed to produce the sweat and second, through direct excretion of fat Blood Circulation – All of the following may be associated to some degree with poor circulation and, thus, may respond well to the increased peripheral dilation associated with infrared application: 


  • Arthritis
  • Sciatica
  • Backaches
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Nervous Tension
  • Diabetes
  • Children's overtired muscles
  • Varicose Veins
  • Neuritis
  • Bursitis
  • Rheumatism
  • Strained Muscles
  • Fatigue
  • Stretch Marks
  • Menstrual Cramps
  • Upset stomachs
  • Leg and Decubitus Ulcers: failed to heal using conventional approaches
  • Post – Operative Edema: treatment with infrared has been so successful that hospital stays were reported to have been reduced by 25%.
  • Peripheral Occlusive Disease: ”The goal is to maintain an optimal blood flow rate to the affected part In general the temperature should be maintained at the highest level which does not increase the circulator discrepancy as shown by cyanosis and pain"
