Laser Therapy: What It Is, How It Works, and Who It Can Help?

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation, is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses light to stimulate healing in the body. At Pure Dynamic Health in Crouch End, we use the Thor LX2 Laser, a world-leading system trusted by clinicians, hospitals, and elite sports teams worldwide. It is highly effective for reducing pain, speeding up recovery, and supporting long-term health.

How Laser Therapy Works in Your Body

The Thor LX2 delivers specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light directly to your tissues. These wavelengths are absorbed by your cells and trigger a process called photobiomodulation. This helps to:

• Boost cellular energy production (ATP)

• Improve blood flow and circulation

• Calm inflammation in muscles and joints

• Support tissue repair and regeneration

Unlike surgical or cosmetic lasers, the Thor LX2 does not heat or damage the skin. Treatment is completely painless and requires no downtime.

Key Benefits of Laser Therapy

Research has shown that low level laser therapy can help in many ways:

• Pain relief – easing arthritis, joint stiffness, back and neck pain, and chronic conditions

• Reduced inflammation – calming swelling in muscles, tendons, and ligaments

• Faster recovery – speeding up healing from sports injuries, sprains, or after surgery

• Better mobility – helping those with long-standing pain move more freely and comfortably
