How LLLT Works!
When cells are stressed, Mitochondrial Nitric Oxide (mtNO) is over produced and gets trapped in the mitochondria, the cells energy production centre. This inhibits oxygen uptake and causes oxidative stress leading to increased inflammation and reduction of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) which is vital for cell repair and maintenance. Low level laser therapy displaces the Nitric Oxide which can then be released. Oxygen can then re-enter the cell and begin the respiratory cycle to produce ATP and aid the healing process.
Effects
Low Level Laser Therapy main effects include reducing inflammation, pain relief and tissue repair/healing without taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs which have been proven to slow healing. Improvement in muscular performance, including increase in power, less fatigue and faster recovery have also been proven. Because this therapy works at a cellular level, LLLT also has many other secondary effects and benefits.
Treatment
Low level laser therapy involves shining red or near infra-red light onto areas of damage and inflammation, stimulating lymph nodes and applying cold laser to nerves to provide pain relief for injuries and painful conditions. Most appointments take half an hour, it is painless treatment with no down time, appropriate for a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.
LLLT is safe and effective.
Over 500 Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) / Photobiomodulation (PBMT) clinical trials and (RCTs) and over 4000 laboratory studies have been published in many leading journals including The Lancet, BMJ, American College of Physicians, International Association for the Study of Pain, Nature, PNAS, American Physical Therapy Association, World Health Organisation, Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Brigham Young University, etc. With 30 LLLT / PBMT papers being published per month, it has been proven more effective and safer than pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories across a range of musculoskeletal conditions. THOR, the LLLT machine manufacturer, has over 3,000 customers in pioneering clinics and hospitals in more than 70 countries and is the only company with FDA, CE, TGA, Health Canada and NATO clearance
Quick
Don’t waste your valuable time with an injury
Effective
reduces oxidative stress and increases ATP. This improves cell metabolism and reduce inflammation
Fast & Effective
Clinical trials have proven LLLT (Photobiomodulation) to be effective. Light therapy using lasers or LEDs in improving tissue repair, reduce pain and inflammation
Inflammatory Conditions
Inflammatory conditions – bursitis, tendonitis, myosistis, synovitis, fascitis and other inflammatory conditions of the tissues.
Tissue Repair
Helps in tissue repair like ligament sprains and strains, burns, wound repairs, bed sores, ulcers, muscle tears, sports injuries and lacerations.Skin lesions like diabetic ulcers, acne and dermatological problems
Joint Issues
Joint pains such as arthritis, rheumatic pain, joint pain like ankle, shoulder, hip and knee, carpal tunnel syndrome and sciatic pain
Pain
Acute and chronic pain control for back, rheumatoid arthritis, calcification, tendonitis, head and neck injuries, vertebrogenic and discogenic radiculopathy and neuralgia.
LLLT Benefits
The low-level laser treatment has various benefits. It nearly eliminates pain and inflammation, restores normal body functioning without the use of painkillers, is non-toxic and non-invasive and improves the overall quality of life.

About
RESTORE Light Therapy
My partner had a 20 year old back injury from a fall while skate boarding that had been exacerbated over the years by standing 10 hours a day and poor posture. The treatment for pain relief and healing of this injury, that was at times debilitating, by Low Level Laser Therapy was a big reason behind why I decided to start Restore. I could see so many people that would benefit from this, including myself being a regular gym attendee and enjoying physical outdoor pursuits, read more here

Clinical Applications
Listed here are some of the applications that LLLT has treated, this is considered by many scientists to be “a new branch of medicine”. As light (within certain parameters) can regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation and reduce pain. It does this by increasing cellular energy and reducing oxidative stress
Acute or chronic tendinopathies
LLLT (photobiomodulation) for the treatment of tendinopathies, is active in producing an anti-inflammatory effect and a stimulating effect of the tissue repair process. More and more studies show that NSAIDs and steroid injections impair the healing of acute injuries. Therefore LLLT therapy treatment is faster healing and quicker recovery than traditional methods.
Sprains and Strains
Low-Level laser therapy (LLLT / photobiomodulation) has been reported to reduce chronic and acute pain. Recently, some studies have shown that LLLT may also delay skeletal muscle fatigue during high-intensity exercise. LLLT may also attenuate muscle fatigue or soreness experienced after sports or exercise.
Neck and Back Pain
Studies have demonstrated that Low-Level laser therapy (LLLT / photobiomodulation) may have positive effects on symptomology associated with chronic pain. Analysis has shown that LLLT caused an immediate decrease in pain for acute neck pain and up to 22 weeks post in chronic neck pain patients.
Osteoarthritis
Low-Level laser therapy (LLLT / photobiomodulation) has no side effects and is an excellent treatment for Osteoarthritis. A large number of studies have examined the anti-inflammatory effects of LLLT and have reported reductions in inflammatory cell. Providing ability to act on nerves by reducing pain transmission and activating endogenous opioid receptors, read the full study here
Post-operative pain
Low-level laser therapy can be beneficial for the reduction of postoperative pain levels by reducing swelling without the use of
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

LLLT
LLLT is a laser or LED light therapy that improves tissue repair (skin wounds, muscle, tendon, bone, nerves), reduces inflammation and reduces pain wherever the beam is applied.
TWO kinds of LLLT
Yes, high power density is necessary for analgesia and deep tissue targets, low power density (< 100mW/cm²) is necessary to promote healing and reduce inflammation in superficial wounds, tendons and joints (the target is the synovia not the joint).
Analgesic
This depends on an LLLT overdose; Higher power density LLLT >300mW/cm² reduces ATP production in C fibres and A delta fibres resulting in an immediate neural blockade lasting up to approx 24 hr.

Number of treatments needed depends on how chronic the condition is, and is individual to each patient, some acute injuries may only need 2, while more chronic or older injuries may require 8 or more. To start 2 treatments per week is recommended, then down to once per week and then as and when needed.

I use laser immediately on acute injuries, it is a very useful adjuct to have at major sporting games, treating acute and chronic injuries alongside manual therapy for pain relief and reduction of inflammation –

Dr. Richard F. Marz
The improvement in patients pain and rapidity of healing is substantial. This laser is on many times each day and is a mainstay for any traumatic treatment that we must do as well as an aid for a patients chronic pain that, many times, patients were told that they must live with. I would no longer feel comfortable practicing without a good low level laser. The Thor unit is definitely the ‘big boy’ of LLLT – Dr. Richard F. Marz, DDS
