I work at a computer all day as a graphic designer and often put in long days. I developed shoulder pain from the work and stress of meeting deadlines.

I wouldn't have pain all day every day but when I spent long days in the sutdio the pain would come and stay for days. I've always had headaches and I'm sure this attributed to them. After two laser treatments, the pain completely went away - and had not come back. And I've had some deadlines in the meantime but still the pain is gone.

It's so nice not to have the nagging shoulder pain when I work.

I had slipped on the ice a few weeks ago and fallen on my ribs. I went to Swedish Clinic and the MD oredered X-rays of my ribs. The X-rays showed no broken ribs, but the MD told me it could take from 6 to 12 months for the rib pain to go away.

Before Dr. Jacobs did the Cold Laser treatment on my ribs, the pain level was a 8 - out of 10 (0 being no pain and 10 horribly severe pain). The sever pain was so bad that I couldn't lift my arm over my head or do yoga.

After the very first laser treatment on my very painful ribs, the pain went to "0" meaning no pain! I could even get off the treatment table and lift my arm over my head without pain. I'll be albe to dod yoga now, which I thought would be months before I could resume. ON top of that, my left knee has been painful, usually a 5 out of 10 pain level - for 52 years since I had knee surgery at 18 years of age. It has been twice the size compared to the other knee for 52 years also.

I have been told that my 'bad' knee operated on 52 years ago is now bone-on-bone. After only one laser treatment, I have no pain for the first time in 52 years! And if that isn't enough, the swelling has gone down 25% already and the constant snapping/popping sound has gone away completely. What a miracle!

Thanks Dr. Jacobs

The treatment by the Doc has enabled me to keep my job and live a better pain free life, as my job and life are physically demanding and stressful.

 I had major surgery on my right knee 235 years ago. Since then, it's always been sensitive to certain motions but was not a major concern.

Several months ago, my knee started swelling and was very stiff. Certain motions were difficult and I was concerned that the deterioration would continue and I might have to have surgery again. After four laser treatments my knee is so much better and I can't believe it.

I have more 'looseness' and range of motion. I don't know if it will ever be perfect - it hasn't been for most of my life, but it no longer limits my activities and I'm no longer worrying about surgery again.

Eighteen years ago I was told that I needed total knee replacements. Through a regimen of anti-immflammatories and icing after running/walking, I was able to avoid that. But swelling and pain continued.

Three years ago, the longitudinal ligament in my left foot was damaged, resulting in extreme pronation. Eventually, the knee was affected with swelling, pain and instability (difficul ty rising from a chair, walking and going up stairs).

After four treatments with the laser, all swelling is down and I have full mobility again. I can exercise on the floor, kneel, and squat (I even spent half an hour on my knees in prayer with no discomfort, rising without holding onto something). I give praise to God and thanks to Dr. Jacobs.

Also, the shredded foot ligament has received two laser treatments - I no longer am taping the foot for support.

Strength is returning gradually and pain has subsided nearly 90%
