Victoria Robinson talks about the effects of NovoTHOR on her life. After the third session, I just felt totally different. The pain had subsided. NovoTHOR has been incredible. Life changing.
NovoTHOR is manufactured from the ground up to be used all day, every day and stay within its treatment parameters. It has no warm up time, no required down time and short treatment times – so it can keep up with your busiest hours, whenever they are.
James Carroll, CEO and founder of THOR Photomedicine – Speech to Congress.
We are all aware there is an opioid crisis.
A hundred million adults in the United States are affected by chronic pain and $600 billion a year is spent on in direct health care costs and lost productivity because of pain.
49,000 people died from opioids in 2017.
19,000 of which were from prescribed opioids for pain relief.
We believe that Photobiomodulation therapy can help reduce the prescribing of opioid medication for pain relief and we wish to draw attention to the Congress and health care policymakers, NIH and CMS, about this potentially valuable tool.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Pittsburgh has gained a national and international reputation for the medicine being practiced here.
New developments continue to improve a patient’s quality of life even as they are being treated.
Now, a revolutionary laser light therapy is helping cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
“To me it was the perfect thing for a radiation oncologist to be doing. We really need as a field to take ownership of this.” Dr. David Clump said.
Dr. Clump is a radiation oncologist who works at UPMC Shadyside Hospital. He is a Medical Doctor who also has a Ph.D., and he is very excited about how doctors and nurses in Pittsburgh are treating a major side effect suffered by cancer patients who are going through chemotherapy treatments.
“We have been using a different spectrum of radiation within the visible light spectrum to try to help heal sores,” he said.
The therapy is called Photobiomodulation, which is a form of laser light therapy. Teams at UPMC Shadyside Hospital use it to treat the mouth sores that often are the result of chemotherapy. The medical term for the sores is oral mucositis.
Making a NovoTHOR starts with designing and manufacturing quality components. Testing occurs throughout the build process to ensure the NovoTHOR meets strict requirements for light distribution and dose for maximum effectiveness.
