 Infrared therapy, including hand held and full-body infrared treatment, used for years in our practice has gained popularity for its known and potential health benefits across many body systems. Unfortunately, there is no real standardization making treatment system comparisons very difficult. Still though, for so many in our practice this is a therapeutic game-changer. Today I talk about some of the reported and documented health benefits associated with infrared therapy.
Pain Relief: Infrared therapy may help alleviate pain by increasing blood flow and promoting the relaxation of muscles. It's often used for conditions such as arthritis, muscle spasms, and joint stiffness.
Muscle Recovery: Athletes and fitness enthusiasts use infrared therapy to speed up muscle recovery after intense workouts. The increased blood circulation can aid in the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to muscles, helping them recover more quickly.
Improved Circulation: Infrared heat can stimulate blood circulation, which may benefit cardiovascular health. Improved circulation can help with conditions like hypertension and promote overall cardiovascular well-being.
Detoxification: Sweating induced by infrared therapy may facilitate the elimination of toxins from the body through the skin. This can contribute to the detoxification process and may be particularly beneficial for individuals undergoing certain detox programs.
Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Infrared therapy can induce a deep sense of relaxation, potentially reducing stress and promoting a more restful sleep. The heat promotes the release of endorphins, contributing to an overall sense of well-being.
Skin Health: Infrared therapy may have positive effects on the skin, promoting collagen production and enhancing skin elasticity. It is often used for cosmetic purposes, including improving the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Weight Loss: Some proponents suggest that infrared therapy can aid in weight loss by increasing the heart rate and promoting calorie burning...Learn Much More HERETo learn much more or to contact Dr. Hayes go to https://drjohnhayesjr.com email john@drjohnhayesjr.com Phone 781-659-7989

"Why don't you accept my insurance Dr. Hayes? What is DPC (Direct Primary Care)?" This is a question I get every day. The biggest reason I chose DPC is I get to focus on practicing medicine like my personal physicians and mentors did for me and so many others for years without the administrative burden, demands and enormous stress now leveled on Physicians by third parties and corporations. How to my patients feel? In addition to low cost, my patients tell me they like the convenience, accessibility, and highly personalized care that I get to provide. This style practice results in proper appointment times for you and your family and much more personalized medical care and treatment. Today I talk about some of the highlights between DPC and traditional Primary Care many people are not familiar with. Physicians in traditional Primary Care practices spend so much of their time just charting, filing, billing, and processing insurance claims, denials, prior authorizations, you name it. This is great for corporations that maximally bill and pay their CEO's millions. But many patients can't even get Doctor's appointments or if they do, there is a huge wait or they don't even get to see a Physician!!!
