Short Communication on Veterinary Medicine The Healing Effect of Water-filtered Infrared-A-Radiation hydrosun® Irradiator with the patented filtersystem

The Healing Effect of Water-filtered Infrared-A-Radiation Use of special heat radiation to tackle the root of the problem Summary Water-filtered Infrared-A-radiation (WIRA) is the deep penetrating, but harmless component of the sun´s infrared radiation. The unique principle of operation involves the use of a hermetically sealed water filter in the radiation path to absorb those infrared wavelengths emitted by a common infrared source which would otherwise result in intense overheating of the skin surface and rapid tissue dehydration. Hence, with the higher radiation intensity, therapeutic heating...

The hydrosun® spectrum within the electromagnetic radiation classification wavelengths Fig. 1 The hydrosun®-radiation frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum Working mechanisms of WIRA WIRA acts both by thermal effects as well as by non-thermal effects [1], As an effect related to the transfer of heat radiation energy to tissue WIRA produces a therapeutically usable field of heat in tissue by: • reaching capillaries of the skin by-infrared-A-radiation (primary warming) • heat distribution by the blood stream • increasing capillary blood flow with expansion of the blood-flow areas accessible...

tion of the nuchal ligament) and the fistula was to be excised spaciously. 6-8 months were estimated as convalescence and the chances for a success were considered very low. In addition, the age of the horse signified an increased risk for surgery. Clinical findings Seven months after the accident, a more than fist–sized, painful swelling above the second cervical vertebra can be observed, which decreases towards the first and third cervical vertebra. The swelling affects mainly the left side whereas the right side is only affected near the exit of the fistula. Extension and flexion of the neck...
