Review: Five Plus Stars!! - Love love love this device! I purchased this for use on my hip. I have hip impingement alongside fibromyalgia. If you are unfamiliar with fibromyalgia, it increases the pain being processed in the body so my hip impingement really hurts at times even though the damage isn't severe. So I was willing to give it a try knowing the fibro alters the pain being received and this device wouldn't work for me. BUT IT DOES!!! I was having to ice my hips daily sometimes before and after activity. I used the Laser Touch One twice a day and saw significant improvement in my pain and my ability to tolerate activity after only 2-3 days. I was able to stop using the ice packs (see my other reviews if looking for a good ice pack ;) completely as long as I stick to using the Laser twice a day. I had neglected the twice a day for a few days and my pain came roaring back which was an interesting experiment. The literature says you can use it up to five times a day so I'd advise people working themselves up to that limit until they find relief. I have also been using it on my arm at the elbow. Along with fibromyalgia I have myofacial pain syndrome which often accompanies fibro. With MPS, you get muscle knots that are like mini electrical knots. They can lay silent on your body causing pain elsewhere due to shortening your muscle and they can hurt with and without touch. I found when I ran the Laser over my arm, the TENS (on lowest setting) would pick up these trigger points causing electrical type pain. That was fascinating! The great thing is you will often not know these trigger points exist unless you press all over and find them. I knew the one was at my elbow but there was another one a few inches away that was detected by the Laser. The only negative I have is it would be nice to be able to turn the TENS part off because even with it at it's lowest setting it hurts to run it over some trigger points. However, since I could not turn it off, I kept at it despite the pain and could feel over the course of a few days that trigger point getting smaller. The changing size could be felt from the TENS hitting the spot. I'm not sure how to explain that. The pain emitted felt less in mass. It's easy to use. Quick to charge with only five hours needed every three weeks. This has been the best health purchase I've made. I highly recommend the Laser Touch One. I even received a courtesy call from the company checking in to see if I had any questions. I wasn't home to receive the call but was impressed they took the time to call. Review: Healed a Fractured Growth Plate! - My 11 year old fractured her growth plate in her wrist while tumbling back in early December 2014. She was in a fiberglass cast for nearly 4 weeks until it cracked and the Dr did an X-ray, saw no improvement switched her to a removable cast. On the X-ray her damaged growth plate looked wider, marbled, jagged, and had dark spots on it. The healthy one was almost as white as the actual bone and smooth. At the 8 week point, her wrist was finally feeling better, but again, no improvement seen on the X-ray. At the 12 week mark again, no improvement, and so they sent her for an MRI to determine if it as healed, but permanently damaged, or merely just slow to heal. a couple of weeks later the MRI results showed the growth plate was still inflamed, it wasn't healed, and there was also a bone bruise. The doctor started talking worse case scenario, that it may never heal and advised us to keep doing what we were doing and we would just keep coming back every 4 weeks for X-rays because there was nothing else we could do. That's when I decided I needed to try cold laser on it. Most of the information I could gather stated cold laser hadn't been tested on growth plates and no practitioner I could find would touch a growth plate with cold laser, so I found this unit on desertcart and decided to give it a try. My daughter started using it on her wrist about on average 3-5 times a week in the evenings before bed and for maybe a total of 3 weeks before she went for her next X-ray. I had hopes that it was going to start to look less jagged and more smooth or that it would be started to close up narrower more like the healthy one. But what we saw was amazing...it was COMPLETELY healed. I thought the Dr was showing us an X-ray of the healthy wrist. they looked the Same! It was truly like a miracle. My only regret was that I hadn't bought this device sooner. I would recommend this for anyone wanted to speed the healing of an injury. it's worth every penny.
