“I had to withdraw from the Rogers Masters in Montréal due to a severe abdominal muscle strain. For the next two weeks, I had two laser treatments per day with the Theralase 1000 cluster laser, which accelerated the tissue healing and reduced the pain. In the next two tournaments I was runner-up at the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters at Cincinnati and I then clinched the Pilot Pen Tennis at New Haven. Theralase laser treatments were very helpful in accelerating my recovery time.”

“The laser helped my pulled quad before racing. Not having the Theralase therapeutic medical laser system for treatment is like Superman forgetting to put on his cape.”

“Twelve years ago I was rear ended in a car accident. The whiplash that resulted caused my neck to stiffen over time. I found it difficult to turn my neck from side to side when I drove and to look up at the ball when I served in tennis. A business associate gave me the TheralaseTM patient pamphlet, which described the conditions that the Theralase TM can treat, how safe the TheralaseTM laser is and how effective the laser TheralaseTM laser is. When I read the pamphlet, I learned that not only could I get my injured neck treated, but also the pain from arthritis that was starting in my fingers and knees. From the time that I was treated with the TheralaseTM laser, the pain in my fingers had subsided. After the second or third treatment, turning my neck became more supple and workable. By the sixth treatment, I had no trouble looking up at the tennis ball when I served and most importantly, I felt a lot safer when I drove, because I could turn my neck from side to side. I would strongly recommend the TheralaseTM laser treatment to someone who is suffering from pain stiffness and restricted movement as a result of whiplash, arthritis or strenuous activity.”

“During a snowmobile accident in December 2002, I fractured my scaphold (wrist) bone. Initially, my wrist was wrapped in tensors. After 6 weeks, the wrist continued to be very sore and was put in a cast for another 6 weeks. Following the removal of the cast, x-rays showed that the bone had healed beautifully, but the pain had not subsided. Light exercises did not help much. I had lost mobility of the hand and I could not do a single push-up. When accidentally, I put my hand under my pillow, in my sleep, I awoke from excruciating pain. The prognosis I got from the doctors was that it normally takes one year for the scaphoid bone to heal.
In September of 2003, a friend suggested that I speak to Theralase, who use a low level laser therapy in their clinic to reduce pain and promote the healing of fractured bones. Even though I had to drive from Brampton to Markham (60 km) I decided to try this non –invasive, non thermal treatment. After the 3rd or 4th treatment, I started to be able to bend my wrist back. After the 10th treatment, I had regained 90% of the mobility of my wrist. Each treatment was not longer than 5 to 10 minutes and there was absolutely no sensation of heat or discomfort, while I was being treated.
It is now 3 months since I completed the treatments. I have started my regular activities including my push-ups. I wish I had started the treatments sooner, because I would not have suffered the pain and lack of mobility of my wrist for so long. I am also told that the healing would have been faster if I had my laser treatments started sooner after the cast was removed. I fully recommend the Theralase low level laser treatment to anyone who has suffered a bone fracture and who continues to be in pain and loss of mobility after the cast has done its job.”

“About 12 years ago I fell coming down some steps. As a result of the fall, I dislocated my left shoulder and fractured my lower humerus. The shoulder was splinted from the top of the fingers to the top of the shoulder. After the splint was removed, I had a great amount of physiotherapy and even acupuncture, but the shoulder continued to be achy. I found it difficult to rest my weight on my arm when I sat at my desk. I constantly felt like I carried a 100 lb. weight on my shoulder. I endured the pain and discomfort for 12 years, until recently.
A few months ago, a friend suggested I should try Theralase low level laser therapy. After a consultation with their Chiropractor and Physiotherapist, I received 6 treatments with 905 nm, 100 mW near infrared laser at the Theralase Pain and Arthritis Centre. By the 6th treatment, my shoulder felt normal. There was absolutely no heat sensation or discomfort during the treatments and the treatments were only a few minutes long.
It has been a couple of month since my last treatment and my shoulder continues to feel just fine. The experience has been like a miracle.”

“I had 2 one centimeter tears in my left rotator cuff muscles. My doctor told me I would need surgery to repair the damage. After 14 treatments, over a 2 month period, I am completely pain free and have full range of motion in my arm.”

“For the last 4 years I have been functioning at about 65% due to back pain. In the last 2 months, since going for laser treatments and therapy, I am back to about 90% already.
Dr. Hildebrand takes the time to really listen and assess the cause of the problem so that you get the maximum benefits from your treatments. Thanks to Theralase I have my life back again!”

“I feel compelled to let it be known how successful Laser Therapy has been in reducing swelling and pain of Osteo-Arthritis in my right hand and fingers.
During the past years, I have been prescribed many medications, none of which reduced the swelling and pain satisfactorily.
After four to five sessions of Laser Therapy, there was an extremely noticeable reduction in swelling. It was now almost pain free and because of the increased flexibility of my fingers, I was able to resume activities which for a long time had not been possible. The Laser Therapy sessions are quick and completely painless and do not have the dangerous side effects I had previously experienced with medications.
I recommend Laser Therapy without reservation.”

“I suffered a brachial plexus injury as the result of a motorcycle accident 25 years ago. This injury separated the nerve cords that operate my right arm from my spine. The result was limb paralysis, amputation, and an enduring neuropathic pain that is best described as similar to having one’s missing arm in a red hot vice set at varying degrees of pressure.
“I lived with chronic paid until 3 years ago when after unsuccessfully trying every medication and treatment available, I started methadone therapy. It worked and it took the edge off the pain; unfortunately, it also took the edge off my life. I stabilized at 32 mgs per day, but the medication took its toll after a while. I was perpetually tired; I was constantly sick to my stomach; and the shine went from my life. I had little energy to do more than just sit.”
“Then 8 months ago, I discovered LILT therapy. After checking out several options, I eventually came under the care of Bodil at Dr. Thompson’s office. As a direct result of LILT therapy, my pain levels decreased to the point that I was able to discontinue the methadone. LILT therapy has let me get my life back. The pain levels are low enough to manage and I’m off the medications that were putting a blanket over the quality of my life.”
“I underwent LILT therapy as an experiment, and it worked, I encourage others who suffer chronic pain to try the same.
