Just a quick note to let you know that I have been using your laser for the last 3 years in my practice.
I have used it to treat Chris Wherry of the HealthNet-Maxxis cycling team. Chris won the United States Professional Cycling Championship this past weekend in Philadelphia.
I have included the Laser in my treatment of him for the past year as well as using it as part of my pre-race protocol the nite before the championship race.
I just wanted to thank you!

As a licensed physical therapist who haw practiced in the state of New York for the last 26 years, I've enjoyed practicing my profession in multiple settings. Private practice in home care has been, by far, the most rewarding and challenging.
Successful patient care and the ability to generate new types of referrals arose as equipment manufacturers designed portable modalities. Modernization of commonly used office machines made it possible to transport battery operated machines from house to car in a shoulder bag. My latest acquisition was the Erchonia laser. I use it daily. I have not abandoned other favorites such as, E-stim and US, I just use them less frequently. I do not use the laser, as my only modality on patients, but I do on myself.
Initially, I used the Erchonia laser on a one month trial basis. Afterwards, I purchased the top of the line unit, because, clearly it works on just about every patient I treat. Most of m patients are adults of all ages and diagnoses. I treat orthopedic pediatric and adolescent patients, occasionally. My quickest results; meaning significant improvement in one visit, are typically those patients with wounds. Decubiti, bruises and incisions are a few examples. Pulmonary disorders are another example. I precede portural drainage with laser and again each time as I reposition the patient for the other lung segments. Other dramatic responses to the laser occur in those patients who receive it orally. Examples are, patients with face pain from TMJ or fractures.
Most patients accep the idea of therapeutic light and are very comfortable having it used on them.
The speed of response for pain reduction using the laser on other conditions (such as bursitis or tendonitis), seems equal to that of taking an asprin to reduce a headache. The effect that laser has on changing cell membrane permeability and prostaglandin synthesis is slower. For me that means people I treat for lymphedema and chronic disorders such as OA show improved mobilit first before they notice less pain or edema.
The laser is safe. There are no thermal effects (I like not having to worry about that). I see no limits to laser in the practice of physical therapy.
It is for me a giant step forward in patient care and the future in home care. I recommend it highly to all physical therapists, and especially to those in home care.

I had to contact someone at your business and let them know how grateful I am that this cold laser is available.
I hurt my neck in 1991.. Dr treated me for everything.. nothing worked, by 1998 I couldn't work or drive.. I was in a scooter. In 2003, I went back to pain mgmt with Dr Klee Bethel.. Mesa, AZ to have him do shots again or surgery on neck nerves.. Instead I had treatment with your laser.. after 1st treatment I was relaxed.. during 2nd treatment I felt a spring un-springing feeling in my neck and I continued and had 5 treatments.. This was in April 2003.. By Aug 2003 I was off all RX for pain.. No Oxycontin (which)I had been on for 2 years.. No muscle relaxers.. nothing. Now all I need to do is get this body back in shape from being so unable to move for so many years.
I do thank you and your company.. This has changed my life.

I thought it appropriate to inform you how well your products are being received. It was the overwhelming enthusiasm of Dr. Jim Osiwala of St. Clair Shores, MI, that prompted me to check out and eventually purchase a PL5, percussion and variable adjuster. I am so glad I did, the results are great.
Thank you for your innovation and assisting me in delivering state of the art therapy to a deserving and grateful public
