How to Use Anodyne

The Anodyne infrared therapy system uses pads that emit infrared light, which penetrates the skin and increases circulation in the blood vessels. According to its manufacturer, the increased circulation relieves pain and stiffness. Manufactured in Tampa, Florida, the medical devices help patients in clinical settings and at home. Health care professionals, such as therapists, nurses, podiatrists and chiropractors, use these devices to provide an alternative to drugs. Two types of Anodyne devices are available for home use: Freedom 300 for the feet and legs, and Consumer Model 120 for any part of the body.
