The Thermotex Infrared Therapy System is a convenient, portable heating pad system that you can use at home, in the office, while driving or on vacation to provide effective temporary pain relief wherever and whenever you need it.

Pain from injury and chronic ailments can be debilitating and keep you from participating in the activities you enjoy. Below are a few of the conditions Thermotex Infrared Therapy has provided temporary relief of pain from:

What Does Infrared Do?

Through the absorption of infrared thermal energy, tissues are safely and gently heated increasing blood flow within the treated area. Your body’s natural response to this increased temperature 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 Heating Pads are a natural approach to effective pain relief.

Thermotex™ infrared operates at temperatures of between 40°C - 45°C, versus heating pads that are often in excess of 55°C. Our products will not burn or dehydrate the skin.

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 your pain medication intake. Thermotex Infrared Therapy provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects.

Thermography is used to measure the radiation of heat. In the following pictures you will see that the initial state of the injured area in each case is showing colder than the surrounding tissue. This is accounted for by the lack of blood flow in that injured area. As the injury is treated and the pain relieved by increasing blood flow, the temperature of the injured area returns to normal.
