I have heard about a new treatment for osteoarthritis called MIRE. What is it?
Monochromatic infrared photo energy is known as MIRE. It is a physical therapy treatment that uses flexible pads that contain 60 near-infrared diodes placed on the skin over the painful joint. The treatment time is usually 30 minutes. There are units available for use at home also. It is proposed that MIRE increases circulation which then affects nitric oxide production. Nitric oxide is usually thought to be harmful, and cause pain. However, MIRE is thought to increase the production of nitric oxide that is helpful to our bodies.
