Heat Lamp Treatment

Heat lamps, also known as infrared bulbs, infrared lamps or infrared emitters, provide short waves of infrared radiation. They use photons, which is an energy source that penetrates through the body to heal the body. This is a non-invasive, drug-free form of treatment to increase circulation, treat ulcers, reduce inflammation and restore the body's natural source of energy.

ATP

• The photons that enter the body through heat lamp therapy work to ease pain and repair damaged tissues. Research done by the University of Wisconsin shows that the photons emitted through this therapy are absorbed by the cells in the body. After they are absorbed, their energy is transformed into a form of energy that cells utilize, called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is used in many ways to support the health and function of cells. The most beneficial use of ATP is its ability to aid in the repair and regeneration of cell components. This is effective because ATP works to power metabolic processes through synthesizing DNA, RNA and enzymes. This process also restores homeostasis, foster mitosis or cell proliferation. ATP works to stimulate and energize the cells' function, which allows waste and harmful toxins to evacuate at a faster rate. As a result, nutrients are accepted by cells faster. Harmful toxins in your body can develop into life-changing illnesses. It is essential to rid your body of these substances to preserve your health.

Healing Powers

• Heat lamp therapy works to heal the body through increasing vascularity, or the formation of new capillaries. Capillaries are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This is important because your blood vessels are responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients through your body. Capillaries are also responsible for moving waste through your body. When the formation of capillaries is increased, it helps to speed the body's natural healing process.

  The use of heat lamp therapy increases lymphatic system activity, which helps to prevent swelling in the body. Swelling is relieved because the lymphatic system can evacuate liquid and protein at a faster rate. Heat lamp therapy works to treat ulcers, wounds and inflamed tissues. This is done by stimulating the connective tissue projections and granulation tissues. When heat lamp therapy is used directly on the ulcers or wound, it accelerates the function of the connective and granulation tissues to encourage a faster recovery.

  Endorphins and enkephalins are our body's natural long-term pain relief. Heat lamp therapy works to stimulate your body's endorphins and enkephalins that are produced in the brain, helping to relieve pain.
