THOR Low Level Laser
Low Level Laser Therapy is a colloquial term for photobiomodulation or Cold Laser Therapy (LLLT).
It is a light therapy using a laser or LEDs to improve tissue repair (skin wounds, muscle, tendon, bone, nerves), reduces inflammation and reduces pain wherever the beam is applied. Treatment is applied by a trained nurse, therapist or technician, treatment takes between 15-20 minutes and should be applied two or more times a week.
Benefits
• Low Level Laser Therapy works predominantly on the protein in the mitochondria (cytochrome-c oxidase) to increase ATP and reduce oxidative stress. A cascade of mitochondrial and intercellular downstream effects lead to improved tissue repair and reduced inflammation.
• Low Level Laser Therapy has been used for many years on sports injuries, arthritic joints, neuropathic pain syndromes, back and neck pain. Over 400 randomised clinical trials have been published on Cold Laser, half of which are on pain.
