Musculoskeletal infrared phototherapy units are non-wearable devices that emit infrared heat to target localized pain or injury in muscles, joints, or soft tissues. Clinically, they’re used to relieve discomfort from conditions like sports injuries, arthritis, or chronic muscle strain by promoting circulation and aiding tissue recovery.
These devices are typically regulated as medical devices, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards depending on the region. They’re commonly sold as standalone units for home or clinical use, with variations in design but no drug components or wearable attachments.
