Infrared Sauna Therapy in Sioux Falls, SD
Infrared Saunas have long been used as a therapeutic tool for promoting relaxation and overall health. At Essential Health Chiropractic in Sioux Falls, SD, we offer the Sunlighten Infrared Sauna, a cutting-edge technology designed to harness the power of infrared light to support the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike traditional saunas that use high heat to warm the air, the Sunlighten Sauna utilizes advanced infrared wavelengths to gently and deeply penetrate the body, delivering a host of health benefits without the intense heat.
How the Sunlighten Sauna Works
The Sunlighten Sauna uses a unique combination of near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths to penetrate tissues at different depths, enhancing various healing processes within the body. Each wavelength targets specific tissues, optimizing overall therapeutic outcomes:
Near Infrared: Known for its ability to stimulate cellular regeneration and skin health, this wavelength penetrates the surface layers, promoting skin rejuvenation, collagen production, and wound healing.
Mid Infrared: Reaches deeper into muscles and joints, making it ideal for alleviating pain and inflammation. It promotes circulation, helping deliver more oxygen and nutrients to tissues, supporting faster recovery.
Far Infrared: Penetrates the deepest layers, stimulating detoxification by encouraging a more productive sweat. This helps the body eliminate heavy metals, chemicals, and other environmental toxins.
With Sunlighten’s patented SoloCarbon™ technology, the sauna achieves up to 99% emissivity, meaning nearly all the infrared energy is absorbed by the body for maximum benefits. This makes the Sunlighten Infrared Sauna one of the most effective on the market for achieving therapeutic results without high temperatures.
Benefits of the Sunlighten Infrared Sauna
Supports the Body’s Natural Healing Processes
Infrared therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms by improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting cellular repair. By increasing oxygen delivery and promoting the removal of metabolic waste, the Sunlighten Sauna aids the body in repairing itself more efficiently.
Pain Relief and Muscle Recovery
The deep penetration of mid and far infrared wavelengths can help alleviate chronic pain conditions, including arthritis and muscle soreness. By reaching deep into tissues, the sauna helps relax tight muscles and reduce inflammation, making it a great therapy for anyone dealing with chronic pain or recovering from injury.
Enhanced Immune Support
Infrared heat promotes a mild increase in core body temperature, similar to a natural fever, which can enhance immune function by boosting white blood cell production. This gentle immune stimulation can help your body better defend itself against potential health threats.
Promotes Relaxation and Stress Reduction
The Sunlighten Sauna helps balance cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and supports the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the body enter a state of deep relaxation. Many clients report feeling calm, balanced, and mentally refreshed after each session.
Improved Circulation
By expanding blood vessels and enhancing circulation, infrared heat therapy can improve cardiovascular health and promote oxygenation of tissues. This increased blood flow delivers more nutrients to cells, supporting overall wellness and energy.
The Science Behind Infrared Therapy
Numerous studies support the effectiveness of infrared therapy for promoting health and wellness:
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology found that infrared therapy significantly reduced pain and stiffness in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.(1)
Another clinical trial reported in the Journal of Human Kinetics showed that infrared sauna use improved athletic recovery and muscle performance, reducing post-exercise muscle soreness by promoting faster muscle repair.(2)
Research has also highlighted the benefits of far infrared for supporting cardiovascular health. A study from The Journal of the American College of Cardiology demonstrated that regular infrared sauna sessions led to improved endothelial function, supporting healthy blood pressure and heart health.(3)
