Omega Laser Testimonials |
Dr. C. Chan Gunn - Clinical Professor |

I have used a laser in my practice for over 10 years, and The Institute for the Study and Treatment of Pain has been using the Omega Laser since the clinic opened in 1996. We find the laser very effective in treating pain in the musculoskeletal system; especially when there is no evidence of injury or inflammation. This type of pain is frequently caused by a malfunction in the peripheral nervous system, which diminishes the trophic input through the nerve. The laser can help by stimulating the painful area and releasing contractures. This laser is in fact a useful form of stimulation-induced analgesia.
We also use the laser to prevent pain; for example laser applied before acupuncture or dry needling can reduce the needle pain. Taking the manufacturer's recommended precautions we have found the laser to be entirely safe. |

I have been using Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) with good effect for treating verrucae (warts), trigger point pain, sports and soft tissue injuries, reloma durum with fibrous tissue involvements and post nail surgery.
I presented a paper on LLLT at the 1999 2nd Unified Podiatry Conference in Dublin, and am currently carrying out a clinical research study into the treatment of lesions caused by the Human Papilloma virus. |
Laurence Trister - Podiatrist |
| I have been using Omega Low Level Laser equipment for over two years. During this period I have been impressed by the result this therapy gives. I am now able to treat a whole range of chronic and acute conditions that I would not previously have been able to treat with any current modalities. In addition to treating painful traumatic or functional problems, the results in the field of wound healing are truly impressive. I would never give up the LLLT equipment. |
Ashdown Clinic - A multi disciplinary practice |
I introduced laser into my practice in 1989 and continue to be amazed at the results, here follows a few testimonials from a selection of patients.
As a PE teacher I was really concerned when a hospital X-ray indicated that I had sustained ligament damage and a chipped bone in my ankle. I started laser treatment on my injury within 24 hours of it happening, and noticed a discernible difference within 2 days. When I returned to the Accident and Emergency recall surgery 10 days later, the doctor was really impressed at the recovery I had made. I played volley-ball at an International level, and physical health is still crucial to my career. I would say that the laser treatment reduced my expected healing time at least by half and although I hope I never get a debilitating injury ever again, if I do, I will be phoning the Ashdown Clinic Jean McLeod, Glasgow After having months of treatment for various leg ulcers from my doctors and nurses, they were not responding. I was referred to Ashdown Clinic, where I received laser treatment. This was successful, and the ulcers were completely healed. Mr Storey, Hertfordshire As an active sportsman, I have appreciated the benefits of early laser treatment to quicken the healing of sprains, strains and other injuries I have suffered. It was so good to feel the tingle on the skin and the warm glow spreading throughout the site of the injury, bring within it the relief from pain and the tremendous psychological uplift of knowing that the rapid promotion of healing would enable me to return to my sports as quickly as possible. I have not suffered any long term aches and pains, and I am extremely grateful to the Ashdown Clinic for introducing me to this treatment. Neil Herrington, Hertfordshire My knee was giving me trouble for about a year, I was contemplating surgery. Cortisone failed, laser worked. Dr Pullon, Hertfordshire (Retired GP) From the healing point of view, excellent! Eileen Adams, London I have been experiencing Achilles tendon problems, which affected my running for over 10 years, and had received various different treatments during this period; with limited success, however after an intensive series of laser treatments the thickening of the tendons had gone completely as have the "sore spots". I have had no further recurrence of the problem and have been able to train normally (well as much as bringing up a 4 years old will allow) Glenn Reader, Hertfordshire |

The Laser Clinic - Low Intensity Laser Clinic for Pain Control and Promotion of Healing |
| First Floor, 22 Harley Street, London W1N 1AP 0171 323 3623 -- www.laserclinic.co.uk |
| Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT), in a variety of wavelengths, is suitable for treatment under the supervision of an experienced consultant with a background in clinical practice and research into lasers acquired in a University Teaching Hospital setting. LILT is combined with other physical modalities and medication if indicated. This approach can be helpful in a wide range of painful conditions arising from muscles, joints and nerves. The clinic has a special interest in head and neck problems such as temporo-mandibular joint disorder, trigeminal neuralgia and cervical spondylosis. Delayed healing, as in chronic ulcers, is also amenable to LILT therapy. |
