Infrared sauna therapy uses gentle, penetrating heat to warm the body from the inside out—unlike traditional saunas, which heat the air around you. Far infrared waves help relax muscles, boost circulation, and encourage detoxification through deeper sweating at lower, more comfortable temperatures. Many clients find it deeply calming and restorative, with benefits for pain relief, joint stiffness, immune support, and stress reduction.

Used on its own or in combination with acupuncture or manual therapies, the infrared sauna can enhance overall treatment outcomes. Pre-heating the body can help loosen tight tissues, calm the nervous system, and prepare you for a deeper acupuncture session or bodywork. After a session, it can extend the therapeutic effects by supporting lymphatic flow, metabolism, and recovery.

At Orthopedic Alternatives, our infrared sauna can be booked as a stand-alone treatment or added before or after your acupuncture visit. Let us know your wellness goals, and we’ll help you integrate sauna therapy into your personalized care plan.
