PAIN
. One common and effective modality for the treatment of chronic pain is heat .
chronic back pain of at least six months duration, had sought out a previous medical
opinion on their pain and were not candidates for imminent surgery
Among many modalities tissue heating , as conventional heating pads , .Thermotex FIR
pad provides by infrared radiation for heating and could potentially be implemented
in a manner that does not interfere in a workflow. IR is commonly applied in mid-range
wavelengths of 1.5 to 5.6 microns, however far infrared radiation (FIR) in the range of 5.6
to 1000 microns provides heating in tissues where injuries to muscles commonly occur and
thus may be more effective
