Infrared sauna therapy has rapidly gained attention as a natural, non-invasive way to support pain management. Rather than relying solely on pharmaceuticals, countless individuals are turning to heat therapy—and the results are impressive.
A 2019 clinical study found that patients with low back pain who used dry sauna therapy experienced significant improvements: pain scores dropped noticeably after regular sauna sessions, and quality of life improved as well. About 70% of participants reported being highly satisfied with their results—with zero serious adverse effects1.
What about joint and rheumatic pain? In a controlled clinical trial, individuals with chronic pain conditions saw pain ratings decrease by up to 57% after consistent infrared sauna sessions2. Even more encouraging, 77% of these pain sufferers felt well enough to return to work after completing a series of infrared sauna treatments, compared to just 50% in the group that didn't use sauna therapy.
Following exercise, muscle soreness can linger for days, limiting your mobility and comfort. Scientific evidence shows that just a single infrared sauna session after intense physical activity can significantly decrease muscle soreness and improve perceived recovery. This was demonstrated in a 2023 study on athletes, where muscle pain was reduced and performance bounced back more quickly after a post-exercise infrared sauna session compared to passive recovery345.
Why are saunas so effective for pain? Infrared heat works by increasing blood flow to muscles and joints, washing away inflammatory markers and relaxing muscle spasms. Clinical trials have shown that infrared therapy can dramatically reduce levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines—proteins that signal pain and swelling6. For people with arthritis or autoimmune disorders, this translates to less pain, greater mobility, and fewer flare-ups.
Unlike medications that can cause side effects or physical therapy programs that require appointments, an infrared sauna—like those from Forge—lets you take charge of your pain management at home. Plus, saunas are safe for repeated use and were shown to be well-tolerated even by people with long-term chronic pain conditions71.
