Infrared Therapy in Keller

Our practice is passionate about providing patients with the latest modalities to promote natural healing. One such treatment is infrared therapy, an innovative, non-invasive modality. Thrive Chiropractic uses high-powered, handheld infrared devices that produce more heat than standard panels—allowing light to reach deeper tissues for faster, more effective results.

This modality supports improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced tissue repair. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, recovering from physical stress, or simply seeking to support your body’s natural function, infrared therapy offers an effective, science-backed solution.

How Infrared Therapy Works

Infrared light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light, allowing it to penetrate into muscles, joints, and connective tissues. Unlike harmful UV rays, infrared is safe and helps improve blood flow, boost oxygen and nutrient delivery, and decrease inflammation at the source.

The heat from our high-powered devices also helps ease muscle tension and promote lymphatic drainage, creating an ideal environment for healing at the cellular level.

Benefits That Go Beyond Pain Relief

  • Supports Recovery After Surgery – Improved circulation helps aid post-surgical healing and reduces swelling.
  • Eases Joint Stiffness – Many patients report more flexibility and less discomfort during daily activities.
  • Enhances Wellness – Regular sessions may contribute to better movement, improved comfort, and overall well-being.

Infrared therapy integrates seamlessly with chiropractic adjustments, massage, and physical therapy, making it an excellent addition to your overall wellness plan.

Conditions Commonly Addressed

Patients often turn to infrared therapy for support with:

  • Arthritis and Joint Pain – Encourages movement and reduces stiffness
  • Fibromyalgia – Helps ease widespread muscle aches and fatigue
  • Chronic Low Back Pain – Improves flexibility and relieves pressure
  • Athletic Recovery – Reduces post-workout soreness and speeds muscle repair

What to Expect at Your Appointment

  • Initial Evaluation – We begin with a consultation to understand your health history and set clear goals.
  • Focused Treatment - During the session, you’ll rest comfortably as infrared light is applied to targeted areas. Our high-powered device allows for shorter treatment times—usually well under the traditional 20-30-minute range.
  • Post-Care Guidance – We may recommend hydration, light movement, or follow-up treatments to maximize your results.

Frequently Asked Questions
