If you have pain or inflammation, we provide a simple and effective treatment called Photobiomodulation (PBMT). Previously known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Cold Laser Treatment, these are all known now under the name Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT). PBMT helps to improve tissue repair and reduce pain and inflammation by using very low level lasers or LEDs. Treatments are safe for everyone.
Pain, whether acute, chronic, intermittent, nerve-related, dental, dull, sharp or nagging, can be reduced and potentially resolved using PBMT. We have many patients who have seen a dramatic improvement in the quality of their lives as a result of their pain being reduced or resolved.
Please feel free to call us to discuss your situation; we are happy to see how we can help you. You can read case studies or review our FAQs here.
Simple, effective, drug-free cold/low level laser and red and near infra-red light therapy (PBMT) for the relief of acute or chronic pain
- Effective for a wide range of pain and inflammation e.g. sports injuries, arthritic joints, back and neck pain
- Significantly accelerates tissue repair for improved recovery times
- Internationally recognised and used by the British and US military, Premier Division Football teams, Olympic teams, rugby and cricket teams and more
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is an effective alternative pain and inflammation treatment to conventional options
Inflammation is a natural part of the body's healing and defence mechanisms. However, excessive inflammation can reduce your body's healing capacity. When our cells are stressed, oxygen levels are affected, leading to increased inflammation and reduced production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). ATP is our cell's power source, responsible for many activities, including muscle contractions, nerve impulses and essential metabolic processes. PBMT aids in restoring ATP and accelerates healing, ultimately helping the body combat inflammation.
At ATP Therapy, we work out the best PBM treatment plan for your specific needs. We have both hand-held devices that can target just specific areas of the body and a NovoTHOR® whole-body red and near infra-red light therapy device.
With over 300 randomised clinical trials published, this alternative pain treatment is proven to reduce fatigue and muscle damage, increase strength and improve recovery rates by accelerating healing in all tissues.
Call us to find out more, and please read testimonials from patients we've treated for various conditions, including back and neck pain.
Reduce pain and inflammation so you can resume your daily activities faster with low level laser or LED therapy
Pain and inflammation can make daily activities harder to carry out. From climbing stairs to general household chores or the physical demands of your job, pain can slow you down and lower quality of life. PBM (as low level laser and LED therapy is now known as) is a natural, fast-acting pain and inflammation relief therapy that will get you back to being able to do your normal activities faster.
PBMT is used to successfully reduce pain and inflammation for a wide range of conditions
PBMT is used to successfully treat pain and inflammation for a wide range of conditions including the following:
- Sprains and strains, including neck, back, knee, shoulder, hips, ankles, elbows and wrists
- Accident recovery, including sports injuries
- Osteoarthritis, including reducing pain and improving flexibility in joints
- Neuropathies, including Sciatica and Shingles and post-herpetic (nerve) pain
- Treatment for the side effects of cancer treatments, including oral mucositis, radiation burns
- Acute or chronic tendonitis, including Achilles or tennis and golf elbow
- Inflammatory conditions, including bursitis, plantar fasciitis,
- Pre and post-op surgery recovery, including dental procedures
- Concussion or head trauma to reduce the risk of Dementia or Alzheimers
- Endometriosis
- Sinusitis and tension headaches
- Boost immunity by stimulating stem cells
- Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD)
Notice dramatic improvements with safe pain relief therapy that works
Everybody responds differently to PBMT. Newer injuries can take as little as one to four treatments, whereas more chronic conditions may take up to ten. Some people reduce arthritis pain for months, achieving greater joint flexibility and they return to us for top-up treatments before winter. Some have enjoyed effective relief from the pain of arthritis for up to 2 years. We can discuss your likely results in the first consultation.
What can you expect? Each 20 minute session gently stimulates the cells to move inflammation, allowing oxygen to be used more efficiently for the cell. This generates ATP (cellular energy) to kickstart healing. During this time, as inflammation and swelling is reduced, pain also subsides. Typically, people return three to four days later for another treatment. Should the pain return, it is less intense, and over the course of the treatments it can go away completely.
Photobiomodulation Therapy is safe, and we can treat patients of all ages and conditions, including babies, children, older persons and amateur or elite athletes.
