As a natural bodybuilder of 26 years, I have experienced some pretty severe injuries as a result of pushing my body to the limit. There are several injuries that I've experienced, in which I hit a dead-end relying on common medical care to treat me my pain. Nerve damage, and limited range of motion in my arm were among the most frustrating of injuries I suffered from. Doctors told me to just learn to live with the pain and limitations because there was no chance of reversing the nerve damage in my arm, or gain much range of motion back because of all the scar tissue that existed from past injuries. I've had doctors tell me that I should give up bodybuilding all together because that would only exacerbate my condition and restrict the function of my arm even further.
My discouragement reached a critical point where I was beginning to think that nothing could help me. A friend of mine told me that I should go and checkout Madison Laser Therapy because he said they could help any type of injury. Desperate and frustrated, I took my friends advice and booked an appointment. I was absolutely amazed with how much success I experienced after just 1 treatment at Madison Laser Therapy! After just 1 hour, I experienced a reduction of pain and an increased range of motion in my arm that I haven't had in over 12 years! Whether you're trying to recover from an injury, or if you live with chronic pain, I have no doubt that Madison Laser Therapy can improve your pain and drastically speed your recovery. Not only will Ray help treat your pain from the outside in, he will also teach you how you can increase your rate of healing from the inside out! After having such great success with just 1 treatment, I'm looking forward to seeing what type of improvements future treatments will bring me! Ray, thank you very much for helping me get back to doing what I love to do!!!

March 12 2012 Treatment progress UPDATE
Because of the progress that I've made going to Madison Laser Therapy, I feel compelled to write an update in regards to the progress that I've made in the past 2 months. In my last review, I explained how the treatments at Madison Laser Therapy were very effective at healing and restoring neurological function as well as range of motion in my right arm, which I had been having suffering from for the past 15 years because of past injuries that I sustained to the arm. Unfortunately, my arm wasn't the only physical problem I had. I also have a long history of knee problems that are a result of being born with a laterally misplaced knee joint, without an anterior cruciate ligament to provide optimal support. This deformity of my knee caused multiple knee dislocations which tore all the cartilage in that knee to shreds. Every time it happened, I would have to go in to have the torn cartilage surgically removed. After 3 knee operations, I had no cartilage remaining in my knee. The bone on bone wear and tear in my knee has caused me pain that has been crippling at times. Over the span of 18 years or so, I've become accustomed to living with intense pain in my knee, and also walking with a permanent limp because of it. I really didn't think there were any treatments available that could possibly help manage the pain in my knee. I had tried all sorts of physical therapy, and cortisone shots in the past to try and bring about some relief, but with no lasting success. Ray at Madison Laser Therapy suggested that we try some laser treatments on my knee. Although I felt I was at the point of no return with my knee, and that nothing could help, I decided I would give it try because there would be no harm in doing so. After completing a 1 hour treatment, I experienced a reduction of pain and an increase of range of motion that I had experienced in many years. With just 1 treatment per week, within less than 2 months, Madison Laser Therapy has improved the condition of my knee so much, that I no longer walk with a drastic limp, nor am I in constant pain when I walk. The relief I have gained from these treatments has allowed my to become much more active than I ever could before, without suffering the consequences of crippling pain after partaking in those activities! I would have to say that Madison Laser Therapy has drastically exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be more thrilled to have found a healthy way to manage chronic pain that actually works!!! Thank you very much Ray!!! These treatments have truly been life-changing for me!!!

My son had shingles at the age of fourteen which the doctor had said was normal but can also be painful... and it was. My son was avoiding sleeping on the side where his shingles had taken hold. After only two sessions in two consecutive days with Madison Laser Therapy, the results were incredible. Not even a week later my son's shingles had virtually disappeared. I couldn't believe it. His pain was completely gone and his skin was 90 percent healed in two short visits!
Thank you, Madison Laser Therapy for bringing this technology to light.
Pun intended!

I had been suffering with neuropathy in my feet for about a year, taking medication which I was lead to believe was the only recourse of action. I was fortunate to spot an ad in our local paper for Madison Laser Therapy. I am a big believer in alternative therapies and jumped at the chance to try this procedure, and I'm so happy I did. Ray is very knowledgeable about the laser and took his time with the treatment, making sure it was comfortable. I usually felt my improvement two days after each treatment, and with each treatment, got progressively better. I have managed to cut my medication down to a third of the original dose, and hope to eventually get off the meds totally. I recently traveled and did extensive walking. I don't think that would have ever happened had I not had these treatments. Thank you Ray!

I hurt my knee while working. Two weeks after I hurt it, I was still not
able to bend it. I could barely go up a flight of stairs. Ray told me
about how the laser could help, but I was skeptical. I had a treatment
by Ray, and I was surprised that I could go up and down stairs with very
little pain so quickly. The swelling even went down a little as well. My recovery
went quicker after the treatment. If you have any pain, let Ray treat
you...painless, and effective! Thank you Ray!!!

I love playing tennis and participating in other sports. When a tore my meniscus a couple years ago, I had to drastically cut down on those activities. Already in my 60’s, I thought I would never recover. I went though physical therapy and was able to regain some of my mobility and reduce the pain. Then I tore the same meniscus about six months ago. My doctor had already told me that he would not operate to remove the torn tissue because, at my age, I would not be able to regenerate the lost tissue.
I have known Ray for a few years and have great respect for his abilities and knowledge. I discussed my injury with him thinking that laser therapy would never work for a torn meniscus. Ray convinced me otherwise. After only one treatment, I felt immediate improvement. My pain was significantly
reduced and my mobility was significantly increased. I continued with four additional treatments about once per week. By the end of the treatments, I was back to full function with no pain. I’m back on the tennis courts!
I highly recommend Ray and Madison Laser Therapy. I know it works on a torn meniscus. I see from his website that it works on numerous other conditions. You can’t afford to not consider this alternative treatment that most doctors either don’t know about or ignore.

I'm a 44 year old bricklayer. This last spring my left knee started bothering me again (I had surgery on this knee a year and a half ago for a torn meniscus with mixed results). It got to the point where it was waking me up almost every night because the pain was so bad, and I was having a hard time getting through the day at work. Then I met Ray and found out about the laser therapy, I did some research online and decided that I had nothing to lose as I didn't want to go through all the hoops doctors create and I knew they would only want to operate again. I couldn't afford to be off work in the middle of summer construction season. So I gave Madison Laser Therapy a try, after 3 or 4 treatments something changed in my knee big time, the pain was just gone! It almost felt like a new knee, the job i was working on I had to be on my knees a better part of the day and I was doing it with out any pain at all, it was just gone. I went back for a few follow up sessions and my knee has been fine since then. I would highly recommend this treatment to any one and I've been telling any one that will listen. I have to admit i wasn't sure what to think of this laser treatment at first, but I'm happy to say I'm a believer now. Thanks Ray!

I have received treatments at Madison Laser Therapy for two bouts of shingles and several cases of impetigo. By each session's end, I could already notice sizable relief from the pain associated with the conditions. The great part was that the laser treatment stopped the infections in their tracks and allowed healing to begin immediately. Also, I didn't need to take or apply anti-bacterial medications or anti-virals as they wreck havoc on my system. I also sought out treatment @ MLT for a sports-related injury to my arm from 12 years ago and a recent re-injury to the same arm. MRI showed damage in three parts of the arm and shoulder. Physical therapy was not working well in this case. After months of pain and simply relegating myself not to use the arm, I tried laser therapy. After five sessions, my pain is virtually gone and I've resumed nearly full usage of the arm.
Laser therapy is also proving useful in helping to relax the muscles and tension in my shoulders (which are rolled forward due to working at a computer for my job), The results are less tension headaches and neck aches, and better posture. Still a ways to go, but it's been this way for 25 years and muscles have a memory so I'm willing to put in the time as I already see improvement.
While I can’t say I fully understand how the laser therapy technically works, I can say that it truly works and I rely on it heavily!

Iʼve had a fracture in my back at L5 for quite some time now. It occasionally flares up, but with chiropractic care, I can usually keep it under control. I recently bent foward, heard a pop, and initially was unable to put any weight on my torso from sitting or standing. With anti-inflamatories and chiropractic adjustments, it improved so that I could walk, but I was still unable to stand up straight. I was told by my primary doctor that I most likely had a buldging disc. As a registered nurse in the ER, I know that back pain is one of the most difficult chronic conditions to deal with. After about 12 days of this, not being able to stand up straight, work, or care for my 19 month old son, I called Ray and asked if his laser therapy could help me. I went in on a Friday afternoon for my first treatment and left the office standing up a little straighter! I had a second treatment the next morning and followed it with another chiropractic adjustment. The laser therapy was able to reduce enough of the inflammation that my adjustment actually stayed in place. Within 3 days of the first treament, I could actually stand up perfectly straight for the first time in 15 days. The laser therapy was exactly what I needed to help me get
back to a functional state. Although I donʼt fully understand exactly how the laser works, I am a firm believer! Thanks Ray!!

I was born with scoliosis that created a “hump” in my upper right back and “winging” from the same condition. Approximately 6 years ago, while
working out at a local health club, I pulled my sacro-iliac. I’ve experienced intense pain in my hip since then. I had three doctors and two chiropractors
tell me that I’ll always be in pain and need to find a way to not irritate the injury and find a way to live with it. I was in so much constant pain that I wasn't able to stand for more than a few minutes at a time without having to lie on the floor to rest my back. I went to the health club in October with the intention of talking to one of the trainers to see what I could do to start strengthening my back and hips, etc. My conversation with the trainer took place with me laying on the floor because I was in too much pain to stand or sit. He immediately referred me to Madison Laser Therapy.
The first session with Madison Laser left me with hope – hope that I could actually maybe have a life with less pain. After a few sessions at Madison Laser,
I realized that a life with NO pain was actually a possibility. I had no idea that I could get to that point based on what the other professionals told me. Now I’m able to stand for long periods of time, bike, exercise – with no pain! Also, the visual effects of the scoliosis has been reduced so much I have people asking me what I’ve done!!! I wish I had discovered Madison Laser Therapy years ago!!
