About THOR Photomedicine
On Star Trek, when someone is injured, they are taken to sick bay where the doctor uses a low-intensity laser to heal the patient instantly. We make those (just not quite as fast as on TV).
The treatment, called Photobiomodulation (PBM Therapy), previously known as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), is considered by many scientists to be "a new branch of medicine".
Light (within certain parameters) can regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation and reduce pain. It does this by increasing cellular energy and reducing oxidative stress. These effects have been tested in over 1,800 clinical trials (RCTs) and thousands of laboratory studies, and have been published in leading journals, including The Lancet, BMJ, Nature, PNAS, Spine, Muscle and Nerve, Pain, Retina and Stroke.
Dedicated private PBM clinics are being born every month to meet public demand for pain relief, and the former head of tissue viability for Scotland, Lydia Jack, demonstrated that the laser paid for itself with the first patient she treated.
Already, THOR has over 5,000 customers in pioneering clinics and hospitals across more than 70 countries, and is the only company with FDA, CE, TGA, and NATO clearance. We are also listed on GSA and eCAT in the United States for government purchases.
