Laser Therapy

The LTU 1000 is a hand held device that combines a low-level class II cold laser light source and microcurrent electrical biostimulation.

Invented and patented in 1994 by Dr. Merrill Stromer, a graduate of Case  Western Reserve and Wayne State University.

The individual modalities have long been recognized in the myofascial pain area as effective treatment modes.

This patented device has successfully combined the two modalities into a portable compact hand held unit.

The synergism between the two modalities has enhanced the individual effects of the modalities, resulting in rapid pain relief in the majority of patients, even after the first treatment.

As a result, the treatments have proven to be very cost effective. In most cases, one to three sessions achieve remission of pain. The LTU 1000 will outperform most treatment modalities in use today, and with significantly reduced treatment times.

Successful treatments have included most myo-fascial related chronic and acute pain, such as:

  •  Fibromyalgia
  •  Epicondylitis
  • Migraines
  • TMJ
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Sprains and strains
  • Tendinitis, bursitis
  • Neuritis
  • Arthritis
  • Back & extremity pain
  • Muscle tension
  • headaches

Typical response includes:

  •  Rapid pain relief
  • reduction of swelling and inflammation
  • increased mobility or  range of motion
  • immediate analgesia
  • improved sleep quality  as a result of the above

Two success stories:

  1. Since '98, after a back injury and a subsequent L5-S1 discectomy, back therapy and epidurals every six months, I suffered from continuous debilitating pain. I was told by a world renowned neurosurgeon that the only option was to fuse my lower three vertebrae. Then I had a total of 3 treatments with the LTU 1000. I am now healthy, ride my bike, walk and hike.No more crutches and most important, my 12-year old daughter has her mom back. —K.S.
     
  2. A ten year history of diagnosed Fibromyalgia, Depression and chronic debilitating fatigue.
    After 6 treatments with the LTU1000, most of the pain and symptoms were reduced to a minimal level and my life returned to normal.. Now I only come as necessary and have increased my activity to that of a normal lifestyle. —V.P.

The treatments are cost effective and have no side effects associated with them.

In chronic cases one may expect a return of pain or a sensation not uncommon after a first workout session.

In our experience the pain should lessen after each treatment and with time patients seem to experience a better quality of life with little or no significant pain.
