Infrared heat is efficiently absorbed and metabolised by human body cells and can promote healthy cellular function. This can help with pain relief and settling inflammation. Profound muscle relaxation can be experienced due to improved blood flow and patients often report improved sleep quality and mental clarity. Acupuncture needles have copper handles (copper being a super conductor) and the infrared heat is conducted directly via the needle into the target soft tissue. If interested in combining the effects of infrared and acupuncture please request an extended consultation with Sandy. Extended consultations are available with Sandy by phoning 3301 2345.
