Heat Lamps Infrared for Home and Medical Use Part 2 

Regular sessions of 20 to 30 minutes under an infrared heat lamp are recommended for maximum benefit. Typical problem areas that heat lamps can be used to treat are shoulders, necks, backs, and hands. However, any sore joint or muscle can benefit from infrared therapy. The light should be directed at the problem area, but should be located at least 18 inches away from the skin to avoid overexposure or burns. Using a heat lamp feels a little like sunbathing. Even though you may not be hot, you may feel a warming sensation traveling from the inside out. Many bathrooms have an infrared heating lamp installed in the ceiling, which keeps people warm as they get out of the shower every morning.

Any commercially available infrared heat lamp will have some type of protective screen over the bulb. Direct contact with an infrared bulb can result in burns to the skin. Infrared sessions should be limited to a maximum of 30 minutes, so that the intense infrared radiation does not burn the skin. Extra care should be taken to protect the eyes, and users should never look directly into an infrared bulb. Users should also be careful because infrared bulbs are full of heat and pressure, which makes them susceptible to breakage and shattering.

Heat lamps infrared are both used in professional and private settings to manage various conditions. People everywhere can benefit from the power of infrared radiation, easing sore joints and muscles as well as alleviating conditions like arthritis. Cautions like a protective screen over the bulb, limiting sessions to 30 minutes, and not looking directly at an infrared bulb make using infrared heat lamps a safe method to proactively manage health.
