What is THOR Therapy and How Does it Help Neuropathy?

If you suffer from neuropathy, it is easy to feel frustrated with the chronic pain, tingling, and numbness that you feel in your hands, feet, or other parts of the body. While medication can alleviate some of the pain associated with this condition, many of those who suffer can feel reluctant to take daily medication for the rest of their lives. We are happy to report that THOR therapy can be helpful; learn more about this gentle and non-invasive treatment method to determine if it is right for you. 

What is Chiropractic THOR Therapy? 

THOR therapy uses low levels of light from a laser to heal soft tissue injuries. From sports injuries that never healed right to repetitive motion injuries and the pain of neuropathy, THOR therapy can promote healing from inside out. 

Our Harrisburg, PA chiropractic office offers this therapy for acute and chronic injuries, including neuropathy. Treatments are fast, with laser application times ranging from one minute to 10 minutes. We typically deliver a series of THOR treatments; however, many of our patients report that their levels of pain are reduced even after just a few sessions. This is a therapy you can do on your Hummelstown/ Hershey lunch hour and still get back to work on time.

Benefits of THOR Therapy for Neuropathy

As our chiropractic knows, pain medications can temporarily relieve pain but will tax your system. If you do not want to take pills every day to be pain free, you will be happy to learn that THOR therapy can decrease or reduce your need to take pain medication for neuropathy symptoms. 

Laser light in the area stimulates blood flow and cellular oxygenation, truly healing from the inside out. The laser also releases endorphins which can help you feel happy and relaxed. Since this therapy is non-invasive, there is no scarring, cutting, or other skin injury.
