Whole Body Hyperthermia
Whole body hyperthermia is a medically supervised procedure in which the core body temperature is raised in a controlled manner, typically above 38.5 °C. Unlike sauna or conventional infrared exposure, it follows a structured therapeutic protocol designed for systemic application.
At BioMed Center Sonnenberg, whole body hyperthermia is performed using a certified infrared-A system (IRATHERM® 1000), allowing controlled and monitored temperature elevation under clinical supervision.
Physiological Considerations
Elevated body temperature represents a natural physiological response that may influence metabolic and circulatory dynamics. In a therapeutic setting, hyperthermia is applied under controlled conditions within an integrative medical framework.
Individual physiological responses vary depending on constitution, indication, and overall health status.
Areas of Application
Whole body hyperthermia may be considered within an integrative treatment concept in cases of reduced vitality, chronic musculoskeletal complaints, or regulatory imbalance.
In oncological contexts, hyperthermia is applied exclusively as a complementary measure and under strict medical supervision within a comprehensive treatment strategy.
Local Hyperthermia (Indiba®)
Local hyperthermia involves the targeted application of controlled thermal energy to defined tissue regions. The system used operates through regulated electrical current to generate localized warming under professional supervision.
The procedure is integrated into individualized treatment concepts and adapted to the specific clinical situation.
Areas of Application of Local Hyperthermia
Local hyperthermia may be applied in selected musculoskeletal conditions and functional tissue complaints within an integrative therapeutic framework.
Treatment intensity is individually adjusted and continuously monitored. The thermal sensation should remain comfortably warm and never cause burning discomfort.

FAQs
Whole body hyperthermia is a medically supervised therapy that gently raises the core body temperature above 38.5 °C to support physiological regulation processes in the body.
Unlike saunas or infrared cabins, whole body hyperthermia aims at a controlled and systematic warming of the entire body, including deeper tissue layers.
At BioMed Center Sonnenberg, whole body hyperthermia is performed using the IRATHERM® 1000 system with water-filtered infrared-A radiation.
It can support metabolic activity, improve oxygen supply, enhance blood and lymph circulation, stimulate detoxification, and contribute to immune regulation.
It is used in cases of reduced energy, chronic pain, muscular tension, rheumatic and autoimmune conditions, chronic infections, and as a complementary approach in integrative oncology.
Local hyperthermia using the Indiba® system creates deep, localized warming through alternating electrical current, supporting cellular regulation in targeted areas.
Yes. Treatment intensity is adjusted individually and should always feel comfortably warm, never burning.
The suitability of hyperthermia for children and adolescents is assessed individually by the medical team and depends on medical indication, age, and overall health status.
