Infrared therapy of phototherapy

Infrared ray can be divided into two parts: the wavelength of 1.5~ 1000 micron is far infrared ray (long wave infrared ray), and the wavelength of 760~ 1.5 micron is near infrared ray (short wave infrared ray). The method of using infrared rays to treat diseases is called infrared therapy. The therapeutic effect of infrared ray is based on the warming effect, which has the functions of improving blood circulation, promoting absorption, relieving spasm, dissipating chronic inflammation and relieving anxiety.

therapeutic action

1. Improve local blood circulation, promote inflammation and dissipate chronic inflammation.

2. Reduce nerve excitability, relieve pain and spasm, neurodermatitis, radiculitis and peripheral nerve injury.

3. Reduce exudation, promote granulation growth, and accelerate wound healing of burn wounds, chronic wounds, bedsores and nipple cracks.

4. Promote swelling and hematoma dissipation, sprain, contusion and soft tissue injury.

5. Reduce postoperative adhesion, soften scars, and reduce postoperative adhesion of scar contracture, induration and scar contracture after injection.

indicate

Recovery period of soft tissue sprain and contusion, infection and absorption period of myofibrositis, arthritis, neuralgia and soft tissue inflammation, slow wound healing, chronic ulcer, pressure sore, burn, frostbite, muscle spasm, joint fiber contracture, etc. 1. Influence on the eyes Because the eyes contain more liquid and absorb infrared rays strongly, direct irradiation of infrared rays with a certain intensity will cause cataracts, so attention should be paid to protecting the eyes when doing facial irradiation.

2. The effect of light bath on the body. The factors of light bath are infrared, visible light and hot air. Light bath is beneficial to the recovery of renal function, enhance immunity and promote the recovery of neuromuscular function. Those who have bleeding tendency, high fever, active tuberculosis, malignant tumor, acute suppurative inflammation, early acute sprain, occlusive vasculitis, severe arteriosclerosis, local sensory or circulatory disorder are not suitable for infrared therapy.

Attention: Eyes should be protected during infrared therapy, and protective glasses can be worn or soaked cotton can be applied to patients' eyes to avoid cataracts or retinal thermal damage.
