What is Photobiomodulation (PBM Therapy)?

Photobiomodulation delivers infrared light to the body to encourage cell growth. This ‘laser bed treatment’ improves tissue repair and reduces oxidative stress, pain and inflammation. Light is emitted at a specific infrared frequency which activates beneficial biological processes. The frequency carries photons into the body which transmit their energy, recharging cells and releasing cells’ transcription factors. Photobiomodulation also improves the efficacy of IV therapy by reducing oxidative stress on the body’s cells.

Studies have shown that photobiomodulation on the tibia and sternum improves circulation of stem cells by five hundred percent.

Low-Level Laser Therapy

You may have heard of photobiomodulation (PBM) named Cold Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). It is a local light therapy using lasers or LEDs to improve tissue repair, reduce pain and inflammation wherever the beam is applied.

Applied by a doctor, therapist, or technician, treatments take about ten minutes and should be scheduled two or more times a week. PBM has been used for many years on sports injuries, arthritic joints, neuropathic pain syndromes, back and neck pain.

Over three hundred randomized clinical trials have been published on PBM, half of which are on pain. These studies indicated significant reduction of inflammation equal to or better than NSAIDs within two hours, analgesic effects that last for forty-eight hours, and healing time of chronic tendinopathies reduced by 70 percent.

How Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy Works

Light can stimulate or inhibit cellular functions according to its intensity and the time applied. Photobiomodulation delivers infrared light at specific wavelength to the body to encourage cell growth and activates beneficial biological processes. The frequency carries photons into the body which transmit their energy, recharging cells and releasing cells’ transcription factors.

This ‘laser treatment’ improves tissue repair, reduces oxidative stress, pain and inflammation. Photobiomodulation also improves the efficacy of IV therapy by reducing oxidative stress on the body’s cells.

“The key to a successful PBM or Cold Laser Therapy is when the right wavelength
with the right intensity is used at the correct anatomical location for the right amount of time.”

Infusio works with proven protocols and state of the art equipment to deliver safe and effective PBM. PBM is also part of the Cell Therapy Program, Performance Program and Lyme & Tick-Borne Disease Protocol.

Studies have shown, that by exposing certain areas of the body to PBM the amount of circulating stem cells can be greatly increased. PBM may also be used to activate stem cells. For this reason, we use PBM as an activator before and after certain cell therapy treatments.

NovoTHOR^®

NovoTHOR is a whole-body treatment pod as a delivery system of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy. The device has been designed to deliver optimal wavelengths, power densities and dosages based on published clinical research. The NovoThor has no reported negative side effects. You simply relax in the treatment pod for 8 – 15 minutes of whole-body restorative light treatment.

The intended uses of the NovoTHOR are restoration of motion to joints, improved muscle performance, decreased post exercise soreness, and adjunct to obesity as part of a diet and exercise program. NovoTHOR applies infrared light to tissue where there is degeneration or injury, to improve repair and reduce inflammation and pain. Its main function is to reduce oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is recognized as the underlying trigger for most diseases and degenerative conditions.

It is also a component in the inflammatory phase of acute and chronic injuries. Regular treatments of just 8-15 minutes may reduce pain, while improving muscle performance and reducing fatigue. NovoTHOR is part of our treatment programs but can also be booked as individual sessions or as a series of 10 consecutive sessions, 2-3 times a week.
