What Type Of PBM Therapy Is Best For Your Pains?
PBM Therapy is a treatment method used by pioneering clinics and Musculoskeletal specialists around the world – there are amazing applications for acute and chronic musculoskeletal pains. Exciting new technology has been developed by the pioneering company THOR to produce the:
- NovoTHOR® Whole Body PBM Therapy light bed pod
- THOR LX2 Specific Body Part PBM Therapy machine
The NovoTHOR and THOR LX2 use scientifically proven specific wavelengths (photons) of light in the visible red or invisible near infrared (NIR) light range to:
- Remove the pain by treating the cause
- Remove inflammation by treating the cause
- Remove swelling (oedema) by treating the cause
- Promote cell growth, tissue healing and regeneration – heal skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, deeper tissues and nerves
- Help prevent more cell death and further tissue damage
Our flagship NovoTHOR ® Whole Body PBM Therapy Light Bed is by far the most popular choice amongst our patients. Why? Simply your whole body is surrounded by light it so can have both local and systemic effects on your health and wellbeing.

NovoTHOR PBM Therapy pod has the potential to affect the 200 different types of cells in the human body and as a result can potentially affect many different conditions and medical ailments all at the same time.

- PBM Therapy (whole body NovoTHOR or LX2 specific body part) has no side effects – unlike prescription and over-the-counter medications where side effects for some are pronounced and debilitating

Whole Body PBM Therapy For Pain And Inflammation
What Aches/Pains Can Benefit From PBM Therapy ?
The list is from head to toe really. How can PBM Therapy treat aches and pains in all these locations? Simply all the cells in our tissues have the same Mitochondria. PBM Therapy using the NovoTHOR or LX2 specifically treats you by targeting the electron transfer chain in our Mitochondria so it does not matter what the tissue name is – bone, muscle, tendon, ligament, nerve, cartilage and joints – PBM Therapy can benefit them all at the cellular level.
As examples of the types of aches and pains the NovoTHOR and the THOR LX2 could help with are: spinal pains e.g. neck, mid back, low back and pelvis, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, fingers and thumb joints, hip, knee, ankle, foot, and toe joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves around the whole body. The response to PBM Therapy can vary from person to person depending on lots of factors such as:
- Age
- Muscle bulk/fitness
- Pre-existing damage/arthritis severity
- Time of the condition
- Coexisting medical conditions
For this reason when you come for the initial consultation we will advise you considering the best scientific data and our years working in the musculoskeletal health care field how likely PBM Therapy will be to help you. Shorter lived, less severe pains are more likely to be cured or stay better for long periods of time. In many chronic, longstanding cases due to some of the factors listed above (+ others) the PBM Therapy may be something that you will require on an ongoing, but less frequent basis than the initial course – why? Simply to maintain the improvements you have had. Of course if you are one of the few patients who don’t feel a benefit after a reasonable period of trying we will tell you to stop.
