INFRARED SAUNAS AND FIBROMYALGIA

An infrared sauna is a versatile wellness tool that can be used to treat a wide range of mild to severe physical complaints, including fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia is a medical condition characterized by chronic muscular pain in the neck, shoulders, chest, elbows, hips, or other so-called “tender points” throughout the body. The pain may also be accompanied by additional symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, and depression, making it virtually impossible for the afflicted person to perform everyday activities.

Because the precise cause of fibromyalgia is not known, the disorder is extremely difficult to diagnose and treat. The symptoms may be attributed to other causes, and common remedies like prescription analgesics or antidepressants are not effective for all patients. Though no known cure exists for fibromyalgia, regular sauna sessions can help manage the pain and reduce the severity of symptoms because saunas:

• Provide warmth and heat to relax tense muscles
• Accelerate blood flow to help deliver more oxygen to tissues, thus alleviating both pain and inflammation
• Create a tranquil atmosphere that lowers anxiety and irritability
• Fire up the metabolism to restore balance in digestive processes and increase energy

If your ability to function normally is compromised by the chronic aches and pains of fibromyalgia, then you owe it to yourself to give infrared heat therapy a try. Installing a Clearlight infrared sauna from Sauna Works in your home allows you to have unlimited access to a comforting, heated environment that can help alleviate your suffering now.
