Degenerative disc disease

My problem started with a neck injury years ago and has been slowly getting worse to the point where my right shoulder and arm ached and my two smaller fingers were tingling (like when you wake up and have been sleeping on them). Constant headaches in the back of my head also plagued me.
When I heard about LaserHealth Solutions, I contacted them with a hope of getting relief, as my x-rays showed a deteriorating C-5 disc and the risky operation could leave me paralyzed.

Although Blaine indicated it would take several treatments to help me, after the first treatment I felt the tension in my neck subside to the point where my headache had reduced to a tolerable level. I was able to reduce taking pain killers down to taking none at all.

When I started these treatments, I was only able to turn my head (think of a clock) from the 11: - 1: o'clock position with a great deal of effort and pain. As the treatments progressed, I gained mobility to turn my head from the 3: - 9: o'clock position with no discomfort and pain.

Blaine had recommended chiropractic help with Dr. Shuster and I found her helpful as she took the time to help. I had gone to chiropractors previously but my neck was so sore that I was unable to allow the adjustment. Massage therapy had given me some relief, but was only temporary.

I would sincerely like to thank Blaine and Suzanne. I found them very helpful. They make you feel very comfortable and relaxed during your visit!

My problem started at least 2 years ago… I had an X-ray and learned that I have Degenerative Disc Disease in my lumbar spine. My doctor prescribed 3 different types of medications and I was advised to go for a physiotherapy. Overall, nothing had helped me, not even an inch!!!

Initially, when I first came for my consultation I was skeptical but Amphy explained clearly to me what is happening in my lower back and how Laser Therapy works. Right then, I had my first treatment and felt an immediate improvement. My pain became stiffness… And as I continued my treatments I felt a lot of improvement, overall 90% improvement. I do things automatically now, realizing that I can do my normal activities without pain.

I would definitely recommend Laser Therapy to people that have never heard of it or have doubts about it.

I admit I was a skeptic before I came to LaserHealth Solutions. For 25 years, I'd been looking for help for my Degenerative Disc Disease. Everyday, round the clock, 24 hours a day, I had pain in my low back and hips.

But after just the 1st treatment, I felt a big relief. I continued and did the recommended treatments. Each visit helped relieve the pain. And now, the round the clock pain that I have had for 25 years is GONE.

I'm looking forward to living life once again without pain!!!

CIAO!!!

I have had rheumatoid arthritis for many years, but it has been under control thanks to a series of different medications over the years. However, when my back suddenly went into spasm this past September, I was taken to emergency by ambulance and given morphine for the excruciating pain. My family doctor thought it was just muscular and refused my plea to book an MRI, but when there was no improvement, I finally convinced him to order a basic back x-ray. He was as surprised as I was with the diagnosis of severe degeneration in my lower spine (spondylosis, osteoarthritis). I was in constant, severe pain that medications were not controlling, and I could barely move, even with assistance. My life revolved around the timing of the next painkiller, and I was terrified at the prospect of living in that much pain in my life.

My cousin in Steinbach, Manitoba e-mailed me about the tremendous success that someone she knew was having with low intensity Laser Therapy. She gave me three different phone numbers in the Vancouver area, and one of them was for Dr. Rob Skleryk in Surrey. In spite of my skepticism, I knew I didn't want to live in constant pain, so I immediately arranged an appointment and began treatment. Results were evident within the first three treatments. There was a marked decrease in pain and an increase in mobility. I was able to benefit more and more from the physiotherapy to strengthen my core muscles and was able to attend swimming exercise classes five mornings a week. Very gentle chiropractic adjustment was finally tolerable. As the LILT treatments and the other strategies continued, I was able to eliminate my daytime pain medication, and eventually the overnight time release pain medication as well. After about three months of LILT, I am able to do most of the activities that I could before the September crisis. I really think that the Laser Therapy jump started my healing and is the main reason for my successful recovery. Although my condition is permanent and has the potential to get worse, I am no longer scared and discouraged. I know that Laser Therapy will be an important part of my life from now on. I have hope for the future and I feel like I have my life back again. Thank You!

Having suffered with low back pain for 3 years because of my arthritis, I was skeptical that anything could help me. I had tried many therapies that never took away the pain.

Well, I can no longer say that…. The Laser treatments have helped me tremendously!!!

Tomorrow, I'll be leaving for my holiday and looking forward to enjoy every minute of it.

Laser Therapy is sure worth it.

I had pain in my lower back for 3 years. It affected my leg and knee also. My wife suggested I try Laser Therapy. After the second treatment I felt relief and my leg and knee were more flexible. I took 10 treatments and am free from pain. My medical doctor said he didn't believe in it, but noted everything I said about it when I told him of the results. I will have a treatment monthly to try to keep the pain under control. The pain in my back is caused by arthritis and disc degeneration in the lower part of my lumbar spine.

I am thankful for Laser Therapy.

It's been so long that I've had this low back pain that I can't remember anymore when it started. It seems it's been there forever. And I was taking tons of prescribed medications for my DDD (Degenerative Disc Disease).

It took me longer than I expected to notice some improvement but I realized that an 84-year-old like me had to be patient and give Laser Therapy a chance to help me with my chronic pain. Amphy (my therapist) encouraged me to keep coming. Thank Goodness I listened to her.

The result: It lets me do more things than I was able to do before. Less pain and I am more mobile. It's worth trying this therapy!!

And don't forget - I'm an 84 year old lady!

About 5 years ago I suffered a repetitive strain injury at work. I was lifting paper (180 pounds at a time) and twisting my back feeding a printing press. I was under Chiropractic care and found that it helped for a short time. Six months later I found my lower back in a lot of discomfort so I started to take medication for the pain. It was around a year later that I re-injured it once more. Again the Chiropractor looked after the problem, but this time with less success. My recovery time was starting to take longer and I needed help putting on my socks and shoes.

With the pain persisting, my family doctor eventually sent me for a CT scan which found mild osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease in L4/L5/S1. The pain was so persistent that I would clean out a bottle of Tylenol 3 (60/bottle) within two weeks. It was like someone was stabbing me with a knife and I was living like this for months. The stress of coping with continuous pain was seriously affecting my job and home life. The doctors I saw were not able to explain why I was in so much pain. The only explanation that was offered to me was that ‘it was all in my mind‘. With my continuous complaining, my family doctor referred me to LaserHealth Solutions and luckily got in that same day!

After my very first visit I felt immediate relief. I had a lot less throbbing in my low back and the general pain was more manageable. They were also able to explaine why I was in so much pain. That was a big relief in itself. The stretching and the laser has worked really well for me. I have had 9 treatments now and I feel terrific. I feel like an energetic 43 year old again, instead of a 43 year old looking like a 100 year old. The day I started my laser Treatments I purchased a large bottle of Tylenol 3‘s. Three weeks later I have only used 2 pills. I love feeling human once again! Thanks to the staff and the treatment.

I had back pain for 3 years. It got to the point where it was very difficult to move. Even normal activities like getting in and out of the vehicle and bending over to reach into the sink were painful. That burning pain of inflammation was the worst. It felt like I was on fire! It wouldn't settle down no matter what I did. My back bothered me at night too. I'd roll over in my sleep and wake up due to sharp pain.

After my first treatment at LaserHealth Solutions, I noticed a big change – then gradual improvement from there. About half way through my 11 treatments, I took a little downturn, with pain after doing some light yard work. But they explained some up and down is normal. And after that it was all improvement again.

Now I'm doing all my regular activities. And I can work on the boat engine, kneeling and bending in all sorts of positions – no problem. My mobility is excellent now. It's great to have said good-bye to that pain.

Dear Mr. Skleryk,

I would like to share with you my positive experience regarding my recent visits to your clinic.

I was previously diagnosed with herniated and degenerated discs and was told by doctors that I required a complicated surgery that may result in serious side effects including loss of control of bowel activities. I was referred to the Laser Health Solution clinic by a friend and upon my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised to see a big change in the severity of my pain and after 8 sessions I can say that I feel a lot better and the pain is not as severe as it was a few months ago. My pain was 8/10 even with medications. However, after the many sessions I had at the clinic, I feel the pain is less and on many occasions, I dont take the medications at all.

I would like to thank you and your staff for the warm welcome, the professional services and the excellent care you offer to your patients.

I truly hope that patients with similar cases, can use your services to achieve their treatment goals and recover.

Thank you once again

Sincerely
