Summary

A preliminary study to determine the use of far infrared radiation for the treatment of back pain

Detailed description

Sciatica is created by joint misalignment, muscle spasm and inflammation. Generally, sciatica is a combination of lower back pain, pain radiating into the buttock and possibly down the leg. Far infrared radiation of the sciatic nerve, coupled with the stretching of the spinal cord, is a promising non-invasive method for treating sciatica.

Conditions

• Sciatica

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
RADIATION	Far Infrared Radiation (5μm to 20μm wavelength)	Far Infrared Radiation (5μm to 20μm wavelength)for 30 to 40 minutes per treatment session.
