“To say that laser therapy has been life changing sounds extreme and yet, for me, it’s true. I have osteoarthritis in my hip. I had no problem walking or sitting. However, I could only stand for 5-10 minutes before I had significant hip pain. I was told my situation was only going to worsen and was provided the options of steroid injections and physical therapy before hip surgery was required. I wanted to try non-invasive options before going down the road of injections and surgery.
I tried many months of physical therapy and multiple other non-invasive treatments to ease the pain. I won’t include the list here because I don’t want to dissuade anyone from trying any non-invasive option that may help them. They all helped a bit, though none provided significant relief. That is, until I began seeing Michele for laser therapy.
She cautioned me that each situation and person is unique. And, because of the chronic nature of my condition, it may take some time to feel relief. I went in with an open mind, as I had with other types of treatment. The evening after my first session, I could already tell something was different…and better. Each session has continued to improve my condition and has allowed me to stand for extended periods of time, sometimes for hours if I’m moving around a bit. I can engage in many activities that I had been limiting due to pain. While I still have hip pain occasionally, it’s infrequent. Laser therapy has opened my world up again. I am truly grateful.” -Angela
