THOR Low Level Laser Therapy system

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS:

• Acute or chronic tendinopathies
• Sprains and strains
• Neck and back pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Post-operative pain
• Tissue healing

TREATMENT

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) improves tissue repair, reduces pain
and inflammation wherever the beam is applied. Treatments take only a
few minutes and can be applied two or more times a week.

RESULTS

Significant reduction of inflammation equal to or better than NSAIDs
within 2 hours, analgesic effects that last for 48 hours, healing time
of chronic tendinopathies reduced by 70%.

HOW IT WORKS

When cells are stressed, nitric oxide (NO) inhibits oxygen
consumption by mitochon- drial cytochrome c oxidase. This reduces
production of ATP and causes oxidative stress leading to increased
inflammation and reduced production of ATP. LLLT displaces NO from
cytochrome c oxidase thereby reducing inflammation and restoring ATP
production, helping tissues heal more quickly.

THOR

With over 3,000 customers using THOR lasers in 70 countries including
Harvard Medical School, NASA researchers, US Navy, RAF, British Army,
Royal Navy, NHS, BUPA, premier division football teams, British Lions
Rugby , THOR can rightly claim to be the number one supplier in the
world of LLLT technology and training.

LOW LEVEL LASER THERAPY (LLLT) OR NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDS)

An excellent alternative to NSAIDs. NSAIDs slow healing and often
have side effects whereas LLLT actually improves healing, as well as
reducing inflammation and pain.

LLLT IS SAFER AND MORE EFFECTIVE

Over 400 LLLT clinical trials ( RCTs) and over 4,000 laboratory
studies have been published. It has proven more effective and safer than
pharmaceutical anti-inflamma- tories across a range of musculoskeletal
conditions. LLLT also improves healing and reduces muscle fatigue,
muscle damage and DOMS. Read our blog for the latest news

“The use of low levels of visible or near infrared light for reducing
pain, inflammation and edema, promoting healing of wounds, deeper
tissues and nerves, and preventing cell death and tissue damage has been
known for over forty years”
Prof. Michael Hamblin, Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology

“I use laser immediately on acute injuries, it is a very useful
adjunct to have at major sporting games, treating acute and chronic
injuries alongside manual therapy for pain relief and reduction of
inflammation.”
Sarah Cooper BSc (Hons), physiotherapist to the British Olympic Athletic Team.

“I use laser where manipulation is contraindicated and where pain relief is required.”
