FIR Hot House^® Treatment

Treatments generally last 20 minutes to an hour. Initially, relief is only temporary, but with repeated treatments the duration of relief becomes longer and eventually becomes lasting

There are guidelines for dosage, intensity and duration of treatment, one should not experience pain nor have a marked perception of heat. Following treatment, the skin may be slightly pinker than usual, and 30 to 60 minutes after a treatment the treated area should feel much like it has been massaged.

Of 150 patients given clinical treatment for sciatica, trifacial neuralgia, articular rheumatism, and stiffness in the shoulders, 70 percent experienced improvement or complete relief.

Moreover, very good results were achieved and pain was relieved in cases of shoulder stiffness, bursitis, and lumbago after as few as one or two treatments. Speed of effectiveness and range of appilcability are much better than for other heat therapies.

 

Condition	Area to Treat	Treatment Minutes	Treatment (Number)	REMARKS
Muscular Aches & Pains	Locally and along the nerves toward the vertebra.	30 to 40	3 - 10	Soft tissue pain, such as in muscles, tendons, and ligaments can have many causes. The symptoms can also be varied: tenderness, referred pain, muscle spasm, stiffness, and painful cramping.
Muscular Rheumatism	Locally, along the nerves toward the vertibra	30 to 40	10 - 20	Appropriate for fascia in non-articular rheumatism. The objective of the treatment is pain relief and muscle relaxation.
Arthritis	Locally in the vicinity of the joint.	30 to 40	3 - 10	Use medium or low dosage for acute arthritis to reduce pain and swelling. With repeated treatments, the pain will go away.
Inflammations of the shoulder area	Locally, toward the lower cervical vertibra and on the stellate ganglion.	20 to 40	10 - 20	The effects of treatment on this malady are particularly striking. Both pain from motion and pain at rest go away as treatments continue. Subjective symptoms abate and the X-ray picture improves.
Sciatica	Along the nerves toward the third lumbar vertebra thru the first sacral vertebra, along the ischium.	20 to 40	5 - 20	Irradiate along the sciatic nerve for 5 or 10 minutes and finish by illuminating the lumbosacral piexus for a short duration.
Lumbago	Along the spine from the third lumbar vertebra thru the first coccygeal vertebra, and the spinous process.	20 to 40	2 - 10	Muscular pain due to overexertion will be relieved by treatment. But with degenerative bone and nerve pathologies, a combination of therapies should be used. For severe pain, use a corset.
Trifacial Neuralgia	Locally	20 to 30	10 - 15	When the cause is known, treat the cause. Radiant therapy is effective for idiopathic problems. Treat locally as well as the locus of pronounced tenderness. For hypersensitivity, reduce the dosage.
Intercostal Neuralgia	Along the ribs and vertebra.	20 to 30	5 - 10	Intercostal nerves run near the surface, so local heat treatment works well. Effectiveness is judged by diminished tenderness in the area of the nerves. Irradiate the spinous processus from time to time.
Edema of the joints	Locally	20 to 30	3 - 12	Some get relief of edema of the knee in as few as 3 - 4 treatments.
Frost Bite / Chilblains	Locally	10 to 20	4 - 15	Far Infrared radiation markedy improves blood circulation and results are achieved without resorting to medication due to enhanced circulation and metabolism.
Upper Arm & Shoulder Pain	Locally and along the nerves toward the vertebra.	20 to 30	3 - 10	Degenerative diseases associated with aging, such as shoulder stiffness and scapulohumeral periarthritic syndrome, are improved and pain lessened through a combination of heat therapy and exercise.
Rheumatism	Locally and along the nerves toward the vertebra.	20 to 30	10 - 20	Causes expansion of local blood vessels, increases circulation and so increases metabolism and reduces pain and inflammation -- whether for muscular rheumatism, neuralgia or lumbago.
Temporal Headache	Locally	20 to 30	1 - 6	Apply a little radiant heat in conjunction with relaxation therapy.
Bed Wetting	Along the 12th thoracic vertebra to the 3rd lumbar vertebra, the lower abdomen near the bladder and the perineal area.	30 to 40	3 - 10	Apply occasionally to the inner thighs.
Itching	Locally	20 to 40	5 - 10	When used for itching of the female genitalia (rashes, etc.) it should be used the same way radient heat treatment is used in dermatology.
Post-Herpetic Neuralgia	Along the vertebra and the nerves serving the affected areas.	20 to 30	3 - 10	Herpes occurs in areas that control sensory nerves. Eliminate the herpes and in many cases the neuralgia will be cured.
Chronic Bronchitis	Locally and along the nerves toward the vertebra.	30 to 40	5 - 20	In general, use radiant therapy to encourage discharge of phlegm from the bronchia.
Tendinitis	Locally	5 to 10	5 - 20	Inflammation of the tendon sheath (tensynovitis) is categorized as being either acute or chronic. Suppurative tensynovitis should be treated surgically, promptly. Depending on the cause, radiant heat is useful in lessening the pain of chronic tenosynovitis.
Sprain	Locally	5 to 15	5 - 15	Use low radiation while swelling is severe and after the tenderness subsides, apply moderate heat to the joint and surrounding areas.
