Spot On: The Pulse of Laser Therapy

Mr. White has had severe lower back pain for the last 3-weeks. He was unable to stand up straight, lift his right leg, tie his own shoes or even put socks on. He also was unable to bend forward at all, or lay down without excruciating pain.

He had tried prescription medicine from his M.D., with no relief. The x-rays showed some mild degeneration, but nothing that would explain his severe pain. Neurological and orthopedic examination revealed significant nerve impingement and muscle spasm in the right lower lumbar region.

Mr. White was very skeptical that a laser treatment could help alleviate any of his pain but with a little encouragement, decided to give it a try. His pain started to dissipate during his first treatment. He continued to feel relief on his 30-minute drive home and was able to get out of his car without pain for the first time in weeks.

He received two more treatments over the next week and was pain free by the third treatment. He is very happy he decided to try laser therapy for his lower back pain.
