Infrared Therapy
Near-infrared (800–1100nm) and mid-infrared wavelengths penetrate deeper than red light, reaching muscles and joints to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue recovery.
Infrared Therapy for Inflammation: Mechanisms and Evidence
Near-infrared light reduces inflammation through specific molecular pathways. Far-infrared produces anti-inflammatory effects through heat stress. Here's what each does and where the evidence is strongest.

NIR (700–1100nm) and FIR (3,000–100,000nm) are on opposite ends of the infrared spectrum. They work through completely different mechanisms. Here's why confusing them leads to the wrong device choice.
