Infrared light therapy

Light therapy is the therapeutic use of light to treat a variety of conditions. The infrared version of this therapy is based on the emission of infrared rays that penetrate deep into the tissues. These rays stimulate blood circulation, improve tissue oxygenation and accelerate healing processes, while providing gentle, comforting warmth.

Unlike other forms of light therapy, which use visible light to treat conditions such as seasonal depression, infrared light therapy focuses primarily on the management of musculoskeletal pain. It activates biological repair processes without overheating the skin, making the treatment not only effective, but also pleasant.

Infrared light therapy is recommended for a wide variety of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including chronic pain, inflammation and circulation disorders. It can be prescribed for conditions such as osteoarthritis of the hand or carpal tunnel syndrome. This therapy is also beneficial for patients suffering from tendonitis, bursitis or hand eczema.

Infrared light therapy offers significant benefits. This treatment helps reduce pain, inflammation and stiffness, while improving tissue flexibility.

It is most effective for patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the fingers and hands, reducing inflammation and pain, and improving finger mobility.

The gentle heat emitted by infrared light therapy helps reduce joint stiffness and improves blood circulation for rapid, effective post-surgical recovery.

The glove used in our Clinic is from Omnilux LED, a product approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the USA. The benefits have also been demonstrated by several scientific studies.

The session takes place with Elise, our occupational therapist and hand expert, in a comfortable setting. She applies the red light glove to the hand for 10 minutes. During the session, the device diffuses gentle, pleasant heat, creating an immediate sensation of well-being.

The results of infrared light therapy treatment are often positive, particularly for hand and wrist pathologies. Patients experience reduced pain, improved mobility and reduced joint stiffness. The benefits generally become apparent after just a few sessions, with a cumulative effect over time.

For chronic conditions, infrared light therapy offers a valuable alternative to analgesic drugs, limiting the side effects associated with prolonged use.
LED light also offers clinically proven anti-aging benefits, with improved skin appearance.
