Treatment Protocols

How often will patients need to go for treatment?

Chronic conditions: Typical protocols will require patients to be treated for a minimum of 30 minutes three times per week for approximately 4 weeks. Anodyne Infrared Therapy will be provided along with other skilled therapy interventions that are needed to improve function based on the patient’s assessment and personal goals.

Acute conditions: For severe pain, treatments can be given up to three times per day. Protocols may be of shorter duration and lower frequency in some cases.

The Care Plan should always be set by a therapist, physician or nurse based on a clinical assessment of the severity and duration of the patient’s condition. Longer standing conditions may require more frequent treatments and/or longer duration than 4 weeks.

Benefits ® Duration

How soon will patients feel better and how long will their relief last?

• Some patients feel pain relief in the first treatment, while others need 6 or more treatments to feel improvement. Generally speaking, if patients have not felt some improvement within 12 treatments, infrared therapy may not be effective for their condition.
• Anodyne Therapy relieves pain temporarily. Chronic painful and/or circulatory conditions will require ongoing use of a home system to provide long-term symptomatic relief.
