Effective

Pain from injury and chronic ailments can be debilitating and keep you from participating in the activities you enjoy. Below are a list of the conditions for which Thermotex™ has provided excellent relief of pain:

Our online shop offers the Thermotex™ Infrared Therapy Systems that you can use as your personal therapeutic pain treatment device. Through the absorption of infrared energy waves, tissues are safely and gently stimulated increasing blood flow within the treated area. Your body's natural response to this increased stimulation is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis - a balanced environment or state of equilibrium throughout the body. To do this, your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area.

Thermotex™ Infrared Therapy Systems are a Natural Approach to Effective Pain Relief

The Thermotex™ Infrared Therapy Systems are registered medical devices with both Health Canada and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Thermotex™ systems are also ISO 13485 & 9001 registered products, that's a big deal!

Why Thermotex™ is Different than Conventional Heating Pads or Hot Towels.

Equine studies have shown therapy applications with radiant energy penetration of 2.36 inches after 20 minutes. Heating pads, which provide topical conductive heat, only a fraction of an inch. This depth of penetration was substantiated in a study done by Dr. Ronald J. Riegel.

Thermotex™ infrared systems operate at surface temperatures between 40C - 45C, heating pads on the other hand are often in excess of 55C. Heating pads try to force heat engergy into the body but in fact, the lower the infrared device temperature, the deeper the energy penetrates into the body. A Thermotex™ system has a high and low setting. Placed on high for 10 minutes, the unit comes up to operational speed quickly. When it gets warm though, you must change the setting to low. You do not want the device to be hot. The lower the temperature, the deeper the radiant energy goes into your body. As a result, our products will not burn or dehydrate the skin, as is often the case with the hot towel method. Furthermore, the hot towel or heating pads do not retain an even temperature. They typically cool below the therapeutic range within 5 to 10 minutes and never penetrate as deep as infrared heat will. For consistent applications of therapeutic radiant energy stimulation where you need it most, you need Thermotex™ therapy!

Pain Medication Therapy

Most pain medications simply disrupt the body's pain signals to the brain, masking the body's ability to recognize pain, rather than removing the source or cause of that pain. The effectiveness of Thermotex™ in reducing and controlling your pain will in most cases allow you to reduce or eliminate your pain medication intake. Thermotex™ provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects.

Oral pain medication is easy, but is it sensible? If you have a sore joint, is it necessary to drug your entire body? Is the dose you're taking the right amount for your injury or is it the limit that one of your organs can stand? Is oral pain medication aiding the healing process? When you use a Thermotex Therapy System, you are only treating the injured area, not your entire body. The use of Thermotex on your shoulder does not impact the organs in your body. Use of Thermotex on your shoulder actually aids in the healing process, it doesn't just mask the pain. When you are using oral pain relief, you are not helping your body heal. When you use Thermotex, you are helping your body heal - and that's what you want to do.

Cost Effective and Convenient

Therapeutic infrared therapy delivers the same kind of pain relief and healing benefits found at the physical therapy office. When used in conjunction with other physical therapy regimens, users can reduce recurring physical therapy costs and decrease time traveling to inconvenient appointments.
