We are excited to announce that we have a Medical Infrared Sauna available for use!
An infrared sauna is a sauna that heats its occupants with heaters that emit far infrared radiant heat. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared saunas do not use steam. Infrared saunas produce radiant energy–the same kind produced by the sun, but unlike the energy from the sun, it is completely safe and will never burn you. Far infrared heat is used in hospitals to warm newborn infants, that’s how safe it is.
Call the office at 478-936-7995 or text 478-972-8306 for more details.
Appointments may also be made online.
Up to 30 minutes in the sauna is only $33 and can accommodate 3 people at a time.
The use of a medical sauna includes benefits such as:
Detoxification
Sweating in a sauna causes your blood to flow to the important organs in your body, while sweating out toxins and impurities. Some toxins that should be removed through sauna sessions are heavy metals, nicotine, and certain industrial compounds (like phthalates).
Improving the Immune System
As you sit in a sauna, your core temperature increases, and your body produces white blood cells to compensate for the “mini fever”. With regular use, your white blood cell count can increase, meaning your body can fight illnesses faster.
Muscle Recovery
The increased heat of a sauna increases the body’s circulation, which delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and cells in your body. The increased oxygen can help relieve tired and strained muscles.
Stress Relief
Use of a sauna reduces the body’s level of cortisol (the primary stress hormone). Regular use can relieve anxiety problems and sleep related issues, such as insomnia, which is often triggered by elevated levels of stress hormones.
Pain Relief
Not only does regular use of a sauna increase blood circulation, which can relieve and relax muscular pain, it has been proven effective at relieving joint and arthritic pain as well.
Improves Circulation
The heat absorbed by your body increases your blood flow and expands the blood vessels. This lowers your blood pressure and blood can circulate to your heart more effectively.
Cardio Conditioning
Regular use of a sauna can increase your heat tolerance threshold which can benefit your cardiovascular strength and endurance, as well as strengthening your blood vessels resistance to shear stress.
Lose Weight
Dr. Oz mentioned in just one sauna session you can burn up to 600 calories due to the increased heat inside your body. Raising internal body temperature can increase your metabolism, which can lead to weight loss, although saunas should not be used exclusively for this purpose.
Additionally, Infrared Saunas have been shown to have profound effects in the following areas:
- Regenerate muscles
- Reduce anxiety
- Increase white blood cell count
- Reduce muscle tension
- Enhance exercise performance
- Help with insomnia by encouraging better sleep
- Improve heat endurance threshold
- Ease symptoms of Depression
- Improve cardiovascular health
- Reduce pain of osteoarthritis
- Reduce joint pain
- Decrease Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain
- Reduce Muscle soreness after Exercise
- Lower Blood Pressure
- Increase Range of Motion
- Help with Sports Injuries and soft tissue strains
MEDICAL SAUNA’S CHROMATIC THERAPY™
According to an article titled “What is Color Therapy? from the Insight Journal, Chromotherapy is the science of using colors to adjust body vibrations to frequencies that result in therapeutic health benefits. These benefits are meant to balance energy within a person’s body on a physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental level.
In a Medical Sauna™, Chromotherapy is used by changing the color of the interior of the spa with the LED lights on the inside of the sauna. Just like a bright sunny day compared to a gray cloudy sky, different colors send different signals to our bodies. This also happens in a Medical Sauna™ by using our color changing LED lights to achieve Chromotherapy, which improves and regulates mood.
According to research conducted by the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Sheffield, Chromotherapy can have therapeutic benefits for conditions ranging from chronic pain and depression to immune disorders.
Hot/Cold Cleansing System™
Hot/Cold therapy has many health benefits, such as relaxing muscles and improving flexibility. The Medical Sauna™ has been designed to capitalize on this therapy method with our extremely powerful and efficient heating technology. The Rapid Internal Heating System™ is the most effective system that can achieve hot/cold therapy and allow you to reap the benefits and start improving your health.
The Detox Routine™
Regular use of a Medical Sauna™ can remove bad toxins and impurities from your body. Many of these toxins are found in substances we use or are exposed to every day, such as BPA (found in many household plastic items), toxic heavy metals, phthalates (found in most fast foods), and nicotine. Medical Saunas™ are the industry leaders in removing toxins from your body. By following The Detox Routine™, regular use of a Medical Sauna™ will repeatedly enlarge the pores on your skin and flush out the harmful toxins inside your body, leaving you feeling energized and purified.
Benefits of the Rapid Internal Heating System™
Another advantage to the creation of our Rapid Internal Heating System™ is that it can increase your endurance and strengthen your immune system. When you step into our sauna, you will begin to sweat almost immediately. A rapidly heating sauna simulates the effect of working out because it increases your internal body temperature at a similar rate. Not only does this increase your heat tolerance, which leads to improved athletic performance, it also stimulates your immune system, which can make it better at fighting off infections and disease.
By using our sauna regularly, you will be actively improving your ability to withstand greater heat. This will give you a better performance in the gym, on the trail, or in the field. The Rapid Internal Heating System™ meets the needs of an average sauna user or an intense athlete. The system heats the Medical Sauna™ and your body up so fast that blood flows more quickly to your tired and strained muscles. This helps them recover faster and relax much quicker. The sauna usage will help your body to feel renewed.
3D Heat Therapy™
Medical Sauna™ is the first and only sauna on the market to offer 3D Heat Therapy™. Heat therapy has many benefits for your body including improving sore muscles, increasing range of motion, decreasing muscle spasms, and reducing pain. The 3D Heat Therapy™ works by penetrating deep into the body’s tissue and cells as temperature rises, which leads to therapeutic benefits all over your body. This improved version of heat therapy, found only in a Medical Sauna™, will rejuvenate your body from the inside out.
