| Physical Therapy Specialist Offers Anodyne Therapy Anodyne Therapy is an FDA-approved medical device to increase circulation and reduce pain. Anodyne Therapy (Monochromatic Infrared Photo-Thermal Energy or MIRE™) is clinically proven to get results. Increasing circulation (as measured by a Moor Scanning Laser Doppler) can help reduce pain and inflammation and improve your patient’s quality of life. Anodyne Therapy, when used adjunctively with an individualized physical therapy program, may make a difference. It may relieve pain that has not responded to other medical interventions. Anodyne Therapy is applied directly to the skin, and is a safe, painless, drug-free, noninvasive modality using photo energy to improve function. Over fifteen studies on nearly 5000 patients have been conducted using Anodyne Therapy. Over 3300 subjects in four of these studies have demonstrated significant pain improvement (P<0.0001) after treatment. The largest such study demonstrated an average 67% reduction in pain on a 10-point numeric pain scale after a clinical treatment program using Anodyne Therapy and physical therapy. These studies were published in Diabetes Care; Diabetes and its Complications; the Journal of Physical and Occupational Therapy in Geriatrics, and the Journal of Neurological and Orthopedic Medical Surgery.
