I do infra red sauna and think it helped everthing thing from pain to feeling like I had the flu to just functioning better. I worked up to 30 minutes at 130 degrees, but started at 5 minutes at 115 tops. Increase gradually. Make sure to use one that does not use toxic glues and the wood is popular or something similar. I was told not to use pine or cedar. Something about the toxic smells. We ended up buying our own for $3,000. I have the name of company if interested.

Treatment consists of three areas: kill/deter the organisms, detox, and fortify the body.
I believe the FIR sauna does just the 2nd one, ie, detox.
I think joint pain belongs in the first category of deterring/killing the organisms that are causing the inflammation, as well as the third, supplementing.
For me, oral clindamycin 150mg 2x/dy worked for five years to reduce joint swelling. Now I'm doing teasel root tincture and curcumin capsules.
I think she may need to experiment with more treatments and supplements to see what's going to treat.
