To Help You Live Pain-Free
If you’ve been struggling with pain, we know how limiting that can be. It interferes with sleep, movement, the ability to do the things you used to, and can leave you feeling depressed. But you don’t have to live this way! We offer several holistic pain management solutions, including I-Therm, so you can get back to enjoying your life again.
What is I-Therm Molecular Hyperthermia (MHT)?
I-Therm Molecular Hyperthermia (MHT) is a revolutionary system that safely heats tissue and promotes healing with depths of penetration not observed with any other treatment modality. It is one of the most effective, natural, drug-free forms of pain relief available. Hyperthermia is also well known as an adjective cancer treatment, due to its ability to shrink tumors. Clinical studies show that muscle tissue heated to 45°C (113°F) increases blood flow significantly, promoting faster and more effective healing.
How Can I-Therm Help Me?
Hyperthermia, or heating as an application, stimulates cellular and tissue repair by increasing blood flow that delivers nutrients and oxygen to the site. Improved circulation removes toxins, inflamed cells, and excess fluid resulting in natural pain relief. Pain-free movement and joint range of motion means you can take up the activities you’ve been missing out on!
Conditions Treated With I-Therm
- Pain

- Accelerates healing
- Reduces inflammation
- Enhances mobility and range of motion
- Improves blood flow and circulation
- Rapid neurologic rehabilitation
- Improved cellular detoxification and oxygenation for a healthier body
- Enhances cancer treatment effectiveness
Pain Relief You Can Rely OnI-Therm at GlowSpring Health
You’ll have an initial consultation with one of our functional medicine practitioners. During this visit, we will discuss your health goals, medical history, lab results, and current health status to determine if you’re a candidate for I-Therm.
When you arrive at our office, your practitioner will have you rest comfortably and apply heated pads over the painful areas. The pads contain temperature sensors to make sure your body is safely heated. Your practitioner will readjust the pads as needed during the session to assure optimal coverage to the inflamed area. Treatment sessions last 60 minutes and are performed 3 times the first week.
We believe a holistic approach to pain management is best for optimal results. We incorporate nutrition, lifestyle changes, and other complementary therapies to help you become pain-free as fast as possible. Our 5-Point Model System addresses all the realms that influence overall health. These include (1) natural hormones, (2) nutrition, (3) toxins, (4) mind/heart, and (5) body.
Our patients generally feel relief within the first week. After the first week, pain levels are reassessed to evaluate the need for further sessions.
I-Therm Molecular HyperthermiaFAQ
Yes. Numerous studies support hyperthermia effectiveness and safety. The pads contain temperature sensors to make sure your body is safely heated. Your safety is always our priority.
No, you will not feel burning during or after the session. The tissue is heated to 45°C (113°F). For reference, your body temperature is around 98.6°F. Hot water at 120°F can cause minor burns. Your safety and comfort is always our priority.
- For those of you who enjoy technical information, this is for you:
- I-Therm activates molecular motion at a spatial resolution of one micron, 1000 times smaller than ultrasound.
- I-Therm produces a shortwave electromagnetic field at the optimized frequency to induce hyperthermia in targeted tissues up to 15 cm (6 in) beneath the skin.
- By safely heating tissue, MHT increases blood flow by up to 1500%, delivering essential oxygen and nutrients.
- Increases cellular metabolic rate by increasing ATPase activity.
Hyperthermia has been used in cancer treatment for over 35 years. Cancer thrives in anaerobic (oxygen-depleted) environments. By heating the tissue, increased blood flow, and thus oxygen and nutrients are brought to the area and can cause cancer cells to die. Hyperthermia enhances the effectiveness of traditional cancer treatments by improving blood flow to the area to deliver the treatment. I-Therm can also alleviate cancer-associated pain.
