Healing Therapies

Sunlighten Infrared mPulse Sauna

Infrared Sauna Therapy can be an excellent adjunct to your care to decrease pain and muscle spasm, seriously boost detox, and get some relaxing “you” time. Infrared sauna heat penetrates tissue, joints and muscles to relieve anything from minor aches and pains to chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Infrared light has the ability to penetrate deep into our bodies, which in turn produces a host of anti-aging health benefits, like detoxification, weight loss, cellular health, lowering blood pressure, and simply relaxation. 

How to use Sauna with your treatment at Align Asheville

You can schedule a sauna session on it’s own, or after an adjustment. Used after, it’s a great way to rest and continue to reduce pain and boost healing in a private space before heading back out into the world. We even include chromotherapy (colored light to induce different moods), aromatherapy and meditative sound while you receive the treatment. You’re welcome :).

Book online as a chiropractic combo or stand-alone session. Discounts are available for packages and when booked in tandem with an adjustment.

Benefits:

Detox

This one is big. Many people have an excess of toxins in their system without even realizing it. They experience symptoms like frequent illnesses, injuries that are slow to heal, and a general state of fatigue or sluggishness. Sweating is one of the easiest ways to help your body get rid of all the toxins. One way to reap all the health benefits of sweating without the physical activity is an infrared sauna.

Infrared sauna therapy penetrates deep into the body, and does a better and more comfortable job than regular saunas at raising your core body temperature. It affects your body at the cellular level, for the deepest kind of detox. 

Detox is significant for your overall health. It contributes to important aspects of your well-being by bolstering your immune system, improving the efficiency of your digestive tract, and providing an energy boost for those who feel chronic fatigue.

Pain Relief

Researchers have found therapeutic benefits to back, neck and arthritis pain from continuous use of infrared heat therapy.

Weight Loss

Studies have shown an infrared sauna session can burn up to 600 calories. Sunlighten saunas have shown a reduction in belly fat in just a 3 month period with regular use.

Heart Health

Sunlighten’s Solocarbon® heaters have been clinically shown to reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Relaxation

The Solo Sauna encourages the purest form of relaxation and stress-reduction, enhanced by the fact that you are reclined on a memory foam surface in privacy rather than sitting in a wooden traditional sauna, often with other people.

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF)

PEMF is a soothing and energetic modality that uses bursts of low-level electromagnetic pulses, at frequencies similar to those we receive from the earth, to heal damaged tissues and bone, relieve injury-related pain, and even to stimulate organs. Research has shown that the depletion of electrical energy from the body due to our modern lifestyle is a root cause of general health decline. PEMF is a donating source of energy that helps the body repair/regenerate/rebuild/get well naturally, enhancing the functionality of cells and encouraging their natural repair mechanisms. PEMF is a well-studied, non-invasive way to approach injuries, pain, and even chronic conditions.

Practically, it involves  using a hand-held device to target an injured area for 10-25 minutes.

How it can help you

Imagine your body as a battery — daily stressors slowly drain your body of its energy to function optimally. By the end of the day, you’re mentally, physically, and emotionally depleted. That’s where this technology fits in. PEMF is like re-energizing your internal battery. To function optimally the energy needs to be restored. 

Active, regular tuning-up of our cells is not only feasible, but also necessary to slow aging and reduce the risk of cell dysfunction that can lead to disease. We are, after all, only as healthy as our cells. Like clean water, healthy food and exercise, Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Fields nourish cells. The hand-held device is ideal for extremities and targeted areas to heal strains, sprains, plantar fasciitis, knee pain and more. 

PEMF is a relaxing, non-invasive, and drug-free therapy that can help you reach your body’s full potential.

How to use PEMF with your treatment at Align Asheville

You can schedule a PEMF session on it’s own, or after an adjustment. Used after, it’s a great way to integrate your adjustment and recharge in a private, relaxing space. We include aromatherapy and meditative sound if you like it during your session.

Extremities and targeted area sessions are available to book online. Discounts are available for packages and when booked as a combo visit with an adjustment.

PEMF Benefits:

Reduce pain and inflammation

Improve energy, circulation, blood and tissue oxygenation, cellular detoxification and the ability to regenerate cells.

Balance the immune system and stimulate RNA and DNA.

Accelerate repair of bone and soft tissue.

Lessen the effects of stress and EMF exposure on the body

But I thought EMFs were bad?

Manmade, unnatural EMFs from electrical equipment, power lines, computers, cell phones, etc. are a very real threat, and we need to be taking precautions to decrease our exposure. PEMF technology is completely different, really the opposite, as it is therapeutic in nature. It can actually be used to DECREASE the burden of “electrosmog” in our lives, by adding beneficial balancing frequencies to the body.
