FIR Socks for Treating Injuries!
Bio Ceramic Socks are very good at reducing inflammation caused by any of the injuries listed above. The FIR energy emitted from the socks promotes microcirculation and will help to rejuvenate the damaged cells and tissues faster. FIR energy helps to retard bacteria too, and will help prevent cuts, scrapes and open sores from becoming infected.
Prolotex™ Far Infrared Socks are all about improving the circulation in your feet and toes. Increased circulation helps to heal injuries to your feet and toes faster.
Best of all - just wear them. That's it! The FIR energy from the Bio Ceramics does all the work for you.
FIR Therapy Socks speed bone healing
Yes, it's true! Far Infrared rays have been shown to increase cellular activities, thereby speeding up the body's ability to heal itself. FIR Socks can do just that!
Now... if you have a cast on, the socks may not fit. We recommend that you wear Infrared Socks on a regular basis, as soon as your cast is removed. If your foot has been in a cast for several weeks, the muscles, tendons and tissues will have become a bit stiff. FIR socks will safely and gently help increase the flexibility of the tendons in your feet and ankles.
FREE Tips For Treating Foot Injuries:
- Try to evaluate the severity of the injury. Minor injures can easily be treated at home, but more severe foot injuries may require medical attention.
- Keep your feet Clean. Open sores and cuts can be location opportunity for bacteria to grow and infections can set in.
- Give your foot or feet time to heal. Every situation will be a bit different. Some injuries may not cause any "time off", but more severe cases may take several weeks to heal.
- Wear a fresh, clean pair of Prolotex™ Far Infrared Socks every day, for improved microcirculation and faster healing.
