I’d say there’s no evidence to either support or debunk the practice. But my take on all these non-conventional therapies is as long as it doesnt hurt you or interfere with conventional therapy (the assumption is you are getting evidence-based treatment) then it’s ok.
Anecdotally, at one point I purchased and used an electric heating mat which claimed to emit far infrared rays. Not sure of the science behind it is similar to what the OP is considering. I can’t say that it hurt (it helped me with some back pain) but it didn’t prevent recurrence either.
