Course Testimonial: Chloe Baker
“Thank-you so much for a thorough and educational course. I found it very helpful in understanding the concepts and application of Photobiomodulation for all fields of my work including musculoskeletal injuries, surgeries, cancer and lymphoedema.
I look forward to utilising my new skills in the clinic and continuing to learn more about PBMT through your courses and online tools. It was so interesting I only needed one coffee to keep me up for my all nighter from 1am – 9am Aussie time!!!”

West Virginia University Cancer Institute is using Photobiomodulation for their Oral mucositis patients
MONONGALIA COUNTY, W.Va (WDTV) – Cancer patients deal with many side effects when they go through treatment. The WVU Cancer Institute Department of Radiation Oncology found a way to prevent a side effect, known as mucositis, that is seen in head and neck cancer patients.
“It is an inflammation type of condition from head and neck radiation,” THOR Photomedicine dental and oral mucositis specialist, Sara Jane Snyder said. “They get painful sores throughout their entire oral cavity, down their esophagus and all they down through their digestive track,” she said.
“Anybody who’s getting a high dose of chemoradiation treatment, it’s almost 100 percent guarantee that their going to get a high level of oral mucositis.”
Having mucositis can make everyday tasks difficult, like eating or brushing your teeth. This is why using what is called Photobiomodulation helps treat this side effect.
“What we found is by shining light of a certain dose and of a certain wavelength, we can actually allow those sores to heal more quickly and reduce pain for patients,” Snyder said.
Recently, The Department of Radiation Oncology at the WVU Cancer institute began using this device.
“One of the reasons that we obtained it is because there are international guidelines for supportive care that recommend this kind of therapy for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis caused by radiation,” The WVU Cancer Institute Radiation Oncology chair and M.D., Geraldine Jacobson said.
Having this new form of technology is something the institute is hopeful patients will have a better treatment experience.
“We’re really excited because I think it’s going to help our patients get through forms of treatment that are really important to them and they’re just going to feel better during treatment and afterwards,” Jacobson said.

Course Testimonial: Steve Bloor
“James Carroll has an engaging, humorous and most importantly, informative presentation style which captivates and inspires all who attend. I had been using PBM Therapy for 18 years and expected to come away with my opinions about the effectiveness of photomedicine reinforced. Little did I know how much new & exciting research evidence there was since I first started using the treatment on my podiatry patients. I was overwhelmed with the variety, as well as the depth and breadth of the new and exciting areas of medical research.
My enthusiasm for Photobiomodulation therapy skyrocketed. And, since acquiring my own THOR LX2 Therapy unit, the success of my treatments has vastly improved. With the ability to successfully treat an increased spectrum of pathologies.
Thank you James, Mark and THOR Photomedicine.”

Good breaks especially being online I needed to get up and move and given the time here in Queensland I had kids wanting my attention so worked really well. Thank you for the great training.”
