Since my car accident in September 23, I've done every kind of treatment for my whiplash in the neck and shoulders : massages, physiotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic and even cranial sacral therapy. But my pain actually got worse as years passed and my headaches grew more frequent and so painful that I would be nauseous and debilitated almost everyday. It hurt to stand, sit and lay down. But since I've started the Laser treatments, my headaches have been reduced by probably 90% on frequency and in pain level. I also have been using a hot pack on my neck every night before but I haven't had to use one since I've started here! It's so nice to be able to watch a movie, do a day of work and even sleep in on a Saturday without getting a nauseating headache that would last for days. I'm so grateful that they've been able to help me get the root of the whiplash pain and improve the quality of every aspect of my daily life.

I hurt my back bending over one day and ended up falling over in pain. I was unable to straighten my back when walking and I had low back pain for over seven months. For two and a half months I was on heavy medications that were making me sleep 12 to 16 hours per day.

I am glad that I was convinced to go to LaserHealth Solutions. I tend to suffer for a long time with my pain problems before doing anything. I had 12 treatments over five weeks and felt absolutely great. I walked out of their office with no pain. During my drive home, 15 minutes after leaving their office, I was rear-ended after a city bus pulled out in front of me.

I immediately went to see my doctor who diagnosed me with whiplash in my neck, upper, and lower back. My doctor asked me to go to another medical office for treatments; however I didn't want to change what had worked for me in the past so I told her that I wanted to go back to LaserHealth Solutions. You can't imagine how frustrated I was to have only such a short period of pain relief after completing my treatments.

Once again I started more laser treatments. Now after 16 visits over eight weeks I am pain free once more. For the past two weeks I have been able to do yard work and putter around the house with no discomfort. I want to thank the staff at LaserHealth Solutions for all their help.

Ironically, to avoid a carpal tunnel wrist injury my "ergonomic position" resulted in a chronic shoulder injury. At times I could hardly lift my right arm without significant pain. I sought medical advice and it came in the form of x-rays, medicated lotions, extensive physiotherapy and steroid injections. After three years it became manageable but never disappeared off my "pain radar screen".

My personal wake up call came after I semi-retired with my new found youth and decided to do 2 days of landscaping around the yard. Big mistake! My neck was injured from lifting sod and I felt my head was going to fall off!

Living with a shoulder injury is one thing but the prospect of living with a neck injury was a real wake up call for me! It was no different than if I had had a heart attack!

I got medical advice in the form of a neck x-ray which showed minor joint deterioration in two joints. I left the doctors office dejected with advice to take Tylenol for Arthritis Pain!

It was at this time, I decided to chart a new course for my soft tissue injuries with therapy at LaserHealth Solutions. It started with an assessment and a recommended plan to undergo 12 therapy sessions covering both my neck and shoulder. The large number of treatments was based on the chronic nature of the neck injury and the nerve linkage with my injured shoulder.

The frequency of my 45 minute therapy sessions included:

- 3 treatments/week during the first 2 weeks
- 2 treatments/week for next 2 weeks
- 1 treatment/week for last 2 weeks.

There was a noticeable improvement in my shoulder in the first week and a real breakthrough on my neck pain on the 9th treatment. It gave me the confidence to schedule a week‘s holiday at the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. It was the 12th treatment that left me with no lingering fears of not being able to sustain my new healthy state. So I am off snorkeling!

I have no doubts that I will be back for "tune-up" treatments over time as further joint deterioration is a reality with natural aging. But I know I have a team of professionals at LaserHealth Solutions working in my best interests and capable of responding to my long term soft tissue and pain health needs!

I would like to thank Blaine, Cheryl, Janet and Suzanne for their skills and motivation to get me back on the course to recovery!

In September of 2008. I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sustained injuries to my neck (whiplash), back, shoulders and hips. After nine months of frequent ongoing visits to my Family Doctor, Chiropractor and Massage Therapist, I was still having a lot pain and discomfort. Primarily in my shoulder and hip. All of my current doctors and therapists had advised me to be more patient and in time I would get better. I was not willing to keep waiting? I was already disappointed with how long it had already been since the accident. Feeling angry and defeated because I wanted to have my life back.

I was recommended to LaserHealth Solutions by a friend. At first, I was apprehensive and hadn't heard of this type of treatment before. I went for my assessment in mid May 2009. Blaine Skleryk at LaserHealth was my primary therapist. After my assessment, Blaine was able to reassure me that 1 would have positive results within a short period of time. I was hopeful and willing to try. After 5 treatments, I started to notice improvements. The weeks to follow, feeling better and stronger. Both physically and psychologically. Another benefit was I never felt any additional discomfort with laser.

Less than two months later, my treatments were complete. I now feel great! All of the pain and discomfort is completely gone. I have increased flexibility and range of motion. I have renewed confidence. My Doctor, Chiropractor and Massage Therapist, are all amazed from the results that obviously originated from LaserHealth.

I highly recommend LaserHealth Solution to anyone that may benefit from their exceptional services. Blaine is very knowledgeable, helpful and supportive. The staff is always warm and friendly. Absolutely Fantastic! I can never express my gratitude for the care and support that LaserHealth Solutions provided to me.

\"I came into LaserHealth Solutions two weeks after being in a motor vehicular accident in late 2010 where I was rear ended twisting me in my seat. I was having back and neck pain which caused my legs to go numb. I could not sit for 10 minutes without being in major pain and could not walk long distances. My doctor prescribed muscle relaxants and I attended physiotherapy/massage as often as three times a week. I would end up leaving the physiotherapy appointments in more pain then when I entered and I was seeing little to no improvement.

I was referred to Blaine (of LaserHealth Solutions) from a family member at a point when I was in unbearable pain. I was willing to try anything to return to normalcy. I will admit that I was a little unsure about how well their treatments would work.

After my first appointment with Blaine I was feeling much better. My range of motion increased to half of what I would consider normal. I could sit stand and walk with very little to no pain. The stretching and gentle muscle work that he provided was more relaxing then any of the physiotherapy and massages I previously had. He recommended plenty of stretches for me to do at home to help this process. He even pointed out things that my fiancée could watch for and assist me in my recovery. The results were obvious and I was back to my old self (even shoveling snow) after four treatments.

The speed at which I recovered encouraged numerous coworkers to see LaserHealth Solutions as well!

**Update 2013:** I am pleased to say that after two years my neck and back remain pain free.
