I have severe osteoarthritis in both wrists. When the doctors looked at my x-rays they asked how I broke my wrists. I did not! The medical profession says that there is no cure for osteoarthritis.

The discomfort (pain) was there 24-7. My family doctor prescribed different anti-inflammatory drugs and suggested that I take Ibuprofen and other pain killers. Personally, I have a problem with putting all those man-made chemicals into my body at any great dosage for any duration of time.

Five years ago, I started taking Glucosamine Chondroitin, 900 mg 3 times a day at the advice of my family doctor. Although that helped to lubricate the joints, my condition was too far advanced and the condition was only, at best, maintained. Then I bought and continuously wore a magnetic bracelet, which helped dull the pain and make it somewhat bearable. A few months ago, I enrolled in a Pain Management class put on by the Arthritis Society. The course definitely help to divert my focus from the pin during intense moments of discomfort.

About 6 weeks ago, a friend, who knew of my condition and about your Low Level Laser Therapy Clinic, suggested that I call you.  We eventually made contact.

That was 13 treatments ago and I must admit that even after a couple of sessions, I did notice the constant pain was not there.

You have said that my cells are now in repair and in the healing process.  I know that I will never be completely free of pain, but with the reduction of the pain my quality of life is improving.

Thank you for your efforts and explanation of what is happening with my wrists in respect to my treatments with LLLT.

Thankfully yours,

Tom Gorham

My injury was a herniated disc. I was disabled to the degree I could not walk without severe pain. The doctors just gave me medication pain pills. I had no strength or energy. As I am 90 years old, I was supposed to rest. Because I was still very active, driving the car and going to activities outside the home, my daughter saw “The Laser Cure” in the paper and persuaded me to try it. After 6 or 7 treatments, I am able to walk by myself.

I happened to be doing a favor for a friend back in September of this year, delivering a package to a business on the same floor as The Laser Cure. It was impossible to miss the brochure posted in the elevator. When I read that Low Intensity Laser Therapy is used in treating tendonitis, I was intrigued. After delivering my parcel, I ventured through the door and made an appointment for later that same day.

I had been suffering from tendonitis in my ankle for several months, my pronated foot having stretched the tendon on the inside of my ankle. i had, at that point, recently been fitted with orthotics, which helped with my plantar fasciitis, but I was still in a lot of pain. Even though I worked at a desk, by the end of each day I was in agony. My entire ankle and part of my foot would be swollen, with the inside portion of the ankle unbearable even to touch. All I wanted to do was put my feet up. I often limped because of the pain.

After only two treatments, I noticed a difference and felt so much better.  the following weekend, I had a set-back when I tripped and fell doing some outside clean-up work at the cottage.  After that, the pain worsened.  My doctor made an appointment for me with an ankle and foot specialist here in Brampton, but when I found out it was going to be a two month wait, I was quite discouraged.  I didn’t know how I was going to get through until then.  Although I had been taking Advil over the course of the summer for pain and inflammation, I had stopped September and had not desire to resume taking it again.

I purchased an over-the-counter ankle splint and continued with the L.I.L.T. treatments.

Over the course of the next ten treatments, the swelling completely disappeared and the pain gradually lessened to the point where I was not longer completely focused on it.

I completed my treatments about a month ago, and my life has returned to normal.  I still wear the splint and orthotics, but my activities no longer revolve around how much pain I may be feeling at any given time.

I kept my appointment with the ankle and foot specialist, and he told me to just keep on doing what I’d been doing.  The tendon was not torn as I had feared.

I would recommend The Laser Cure to anyone dealing with any kind of chronic pain.  Elizabeth Slonchka is a very competent technician.  Her sense of humor and sympathetic nature always made me feel comfortable.  She really understood, and cared about, how much pain I was in.

My life was on hold for the longest time as I suffered from a chronic wound on my toe. I am a 77 year old woman with multiple health problems. My body is slow to heal if at all now. The wound was deep, infected at times; it had discharge, and was very tender. I had visiting Nurses in 3-4 times a week to change the dressing on my toe. The toe was painful to touch. I was barely able to walk due to the toe ulcer. The toe never improved. I had the toe ulcer since April.

I saw an ad for The Laser Cure in the Guardian. I went for treatment to my back where I realized it worked on wounds. After I investigated the possibility of what it could do for wounds/ulcers I had to try it. I insisted on having my toe treated with Low Intensity Laser Therapy. After 16 treatments my toe was completely healed. I still can not believe it to this day. everyday you could see changes in the toe as it healed. It went from a deep ulcer to complete healing.

I am very excited as I have my life back again. I am able to play cards with my friends and even go swimming again. I thought the day would never arrive when I could be active again in the community.

Elizabeth is an excellent Laser Therapist.  She is kind, caring, and compassionate about what she does.  She makes the Laser Therapy sessions so comfortable and enjoyable.  She even brought me tea during my treatments.

I would recommend The laser Cure to anyone who is suffering with pain or injuries.

Sincerely,

I want to thank you for all you have done to make my life more manageable and pain free in the areas that you have treat me with the Laser Cure it is “excellence in healing”.

When I first came into your office in late August, I was in so much pain - could hardly walk.  I think I hobbled in.  Today so many have noticed a big difference in me.  I look much happier, less stressful - the pain lines are slowly going away, thanks to you.

I have told many that I have found an “Angel” her name is Elizabeth.  You are caring, thoughtful, compassionate and you have a good sense of humour - there are days that I forget that I’m in for a treatment - “you make my day”.

Anyway, Elizabeth, I want to wish you joy, happiness, success and prosperity in the years to come.  You have it all.

As ever,
