What is the expected frequency of infrared therapy for chronic conditions?

For chronic conditions, the frequency of infrared therapy is typically recommended as 2-3 times per week. This frequency allows for sufficient exposure to the therapeutic benefits of infrared radiation, which include promoting circulation, reducing pain, and facilitating tissue healing. Regular sessions help to maintain the therapeutic effects over time, especially in managing chronic pain or inflammation, as these conditions often require ongoing treatment to achieve and sustain improvement.

In contrast, other frequencies such as once a month or every other day might not provide the consistent therapeutic benefits needed for effective management of chronic conditions. Once a month would be too infrequent to see meaningful results, while every other day might be more intensive than necessary for many patients. The recommended 2-3 times per week strikes a balance that can effectively support recovery while minimizing potential fatigue from treatment.
