Infrared light therapy works by emitting energy in the infrared spectrum to provide temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis, muscle spasm, relieves stiffness, relaxes muscle tissue and temporarily increases local blood circulation. Infrared light acts on hemoglobin in blood to cause the release nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes the dilation of blood vessels to increase circulation and the delivery of oxygen to tissue. This increased circulation and oxygen can help heal damaged tissue. Nitric oxide also acts on nerves to decrease or eliminate pain. extract from drnelsonclinic.com
