Testimonial for LiLT for Migraine Headaches:

I’ve had migraines my entire life and I used to have 8-10 migraine days per month, and those migraines could last anywhere from a day to a week depending on the severity. After just 3 months of low intensity light therapy I now only have half that many start days of migraines per month and the majority of those only turn out to be mild or resolve easily with medication. I used to hear people say they could feel a migraine coming on and actively decide to relax their body to prevent it from escalating and I absolutely did not believe them, but now I’m able to do that too. Light therapy is giving my body the ability to heal and function like those of people who don’t have chronic migraines, and that’s all I could ask for. Day to day life feels way more doable now that I don’t have to worry that any tiny mistake will trigger a migraine!

Update August 2023: My migraines have continued to improve since finishing LiLT treatments in December of 2022. They are now almost non-existent. I am extremely grateful for this treatment!

– P. Duncan, 28 years old

Testimonials for LILT for Early-Stage Dementia:

” Kim’s memory had been progressively deteriorating over the past few years. In December of 2022 we were given the diagnosis of dementia after a series of testing was performed, including a brain scan. Kim started light therapy is January of 2023 and we both feel like it is working! It took a few months, but now she is no longer asking the same questions over and over and is able to retain information she is told much better than she was just a few months ago. One example of her improved functioning is that she is now able to find her way from the Peak LiLT clinic back down to the parking lot without getting lost.

We are very hopeful that she will continue to make gradual improvements as we continue some booster treatments every 4-6 weeks. Our outlook is much brighter than it was just a year ago. Thank you Peak LiLT.”        – Kim’s husband, August 2023

“After starting the light therapy treatments in December, I saw Jim’s mood improve, almost immediately.  Then while away for the Christmas holidays I saw a regression in Jim’s mood about 4 days after his last LILT treatment. But after resuming the treatment in January his good mood returned and has remained constant.  He is talking more and interacting more.  His driving has improved.  He is able to anticipate what is coming instead of only being reactive.  When we leave home, he has a better sense of the direction we are headed.  He is more loving and playful. We are very pleased with the progress he has made so far with this treatment and wish we had known about it even sooner.”     – Jim’s wife, April 2022
 
 
Testimonial from a Stroke Patient:
 
” I suffered a severe stroke in my right occipital lobe in January of 2023. As a result, I lost 100% of the peripheral vision in my left eye and some of my central vision, leaving me unable to drive. My primary care physician recommended I try Low Intensity Light Therapy at Peak LiLT because she had been sending some of her patients there already and people had been getting good results. So I decided to give it a try and am so glad that I did. After just 5 treatment my vision began to return, and after two months I felt like I could see almost normally again. I was retested by my neurologist, and 98% of my peripheral vision and 100% of my central vision was restored and I was released to drive again. I have my life back thanks to Peak LiLT.”   – Robert A., April 2023
 
 
Avoiding More Injections and Back Surgery:
 
Most of 2020 I had been unable to do the things that I loved. I am a very active person, enjoying hiking, cross country skiing, always walking my dog, and working a great deal outside. I had been dealing with chronic lower back and hip problems that had gotten much worse, making it almost impossible to even walk around my home without a great deal of pain. I tried physical therapy with 3 different therapists but the pain persisted. I even received three steroid injections through out the year which gave some temporay relief, but it was basically masking the problem.
    I thought the next option was to see an orthopedic surgeon which I did not want to do. But then it was suggested that I try Low Intensity Light/Laser Therapy. It was not a quick process, but within a month I started to see some relief. Over the next month I continued improving and now I am enjoying life again. It is amazing. You have to be patient because it may plateau but then improve again. Patience, patience, patience. But it works! Thank you Peak LiLT.  – Sandy S., 2021
 
 

Olympic Pairs Team Gives Their Thumbs Up To Laser Therapy!

LiLT Testimonial from G. Spitzer

A few years ago, after X-rays revealed that my increasing hip discomfort was due to Stage 4 Arthritis, I saw a series of orthopedic specialists who assured me that I was looking at inescapable hip replacement. According to them, it was only a matter of when to decide to undertake the surgery. And their offices would schedule that now, or several months later, if my pain levels allowed postponement of the procedure. Because a physician’s assistant had pointed out in reviewing the images with me, that while my hip was in undeniably terrible shape, I did have a wee sliver of cartilage left… if only something could be done to nurture and multiply it… With that in mind I pursued physical therapy with Melinda Couch at Peak LiLT. A key to her healing regime was to treat me with protocols borrowed from the pioneering Canadian physician, Fred Kahn, who spent decades developing and refining Low Intensity Light therapies. My improvement was by no means immediate, but after what-seemed-like-too-many weeks, it became apparent that this series of photon therapies was based on real clinical science. I became increasingly functional and then, amazingly, pain-free and stabilized after about 11 weeks. Now at 70 I relish that I can almost keep up with my young grandchildren.

 

LiLT Testimonial from K. Wade for Shingles Recovery

Following a rare and severe case of shingles which impaired the nerves to my bladder and bowel and left me with immense left sided lower back pain (my prognosis was not at all favorable), it was suggested I try a treatment available at Peak LiLT called Low Intensity Light Therapy. They sought information from physicians in Canada regarding my condition. There were successful recoveries with shingles noted as a result of LILT and Peak went to work on my situation. It worked! The results were not immediately obvious in the first week or two, but I was gradually able to return to normal function and became free from pain in about 4 weeks. I’m forever in debt to this wonderful new therapy and Melinda for recommending it!!

 

 

LiLT Testimonial from C. Smith

I have just completed 10 weeks of LILT treatments for mild arthritis in my left medial knee. For a few years, I have had discomfort in this knee and Melinda suggested I try the low intensity laser therapy. I am pleased to say that my knee shows marked improvement in strength and flexibility and virtually is pain-free. Thank you so much for this incredible treatment. I am biking, hiking and playing tennis again! Check out Peak LiLT for state-of-the-art treatments!

 

LiLT Testimonial from K.L.

I had early success with LILT and my lower back pain was about 80% better after 6-7 weeks of treatment. The last 20% was very difficult to get rid of, and I was ready to give up. But after a few more treatments I finally became completely pain free. I continue to be free of pain as I slowly reintroduce resistance training into my physical therapy, and any flare-ups were gone quickly while I tapered off LILT. I am now feeling great and avoided back surgery! I’m grateful that Peak LiLT offers such comprehensive treatments designed to resolve the actual issue and not just mask the symptoms.

 

 

LiLT Testimonial from Deb

I have a physically demanding job and had been experiencing chronic low back pain for about four years. I was diagnosed with disc bulges in my lumbar spine. I tried many different approaches and nothing seemed to help. Honestly I thought I was heading for surgery. Then Melinda suggested I try Light Therapy. I had never heard of it before but thought it couldn’t hurt to try. About 12 to 15 sessions in I started to notice a difference in my pain and stiffness. Most days are pain free for me now. LILT therapy is the one thing I’ve tried that is making a lasting difference.

I can’t thank Melinda and her staff enough for getting me back to my life.

 

LiLT Testimonial from Vincent Zhou, U.S. Men’s Figure Skating 2022 Olympic Medalist

Low intensity light therapy has helped me recover from a hip flexor injury and labral tear. I went from not knowing if I was going to even be able to walk pain-free to training hard at an elite level every day without pain. I saw an obvious difference after just a week!

 

LiLT Testimonial from L. M. Fussell, Ph.D. and Competitive Adult Figure Skater

8  months after surgical repair of a complete Achilles Tendon rupture I had significant scar tissue that had stopped improving/decreasing with other treatments.  At the recommendation of Melinda Couch, I began a series of 20 treatments with Low Intensity Light Therapy from Peak Performance Physical Therapy/Peak LiLT.  At the end of the 20 treatments, the scar tissue (aka my “Achilles bump”) had decreased significantly in size and mobility was greatly improved.  The strange tingling from the scar tissue interfering with nerve function was also gone.

Later that year, I developed a very scary tendinitis in my other Achilles Tendon and was terrified that it, too, would rupture.  I decided to try Low Intensity Light Therapy again for this new injury.  I was traveling, so I only had time for seven sessions.  However, the healing continued for the next few weeks after the treatments and the tendinitis resolved itself.  Whew!  Dodged that bullet!

If you are suffering from Achilles Tendinitis or had the misfortune of suffering a rupture, I highly recommend Low Intensity Light Therapy to stimulate your healing process.

Thank you Peak LiLT!

LiLT Testimonial from Max Aaron, 2013 U.S. national champion figure skater

 

LiLT Testimonial From Olympic Figure Skater Mirai Nagasu

As a figure skater, I am especially prone to injuries from the constant impact of falls, and when I strained my knee a few months ago, my physical therapist Melinda (whom I 100% trust) recommended that I try Light Therapy. Although I was skeptical at first because I didn’t believe that the pain would go away without any work on my part, LiLT has definitely sped up my healing process.

Personally, I don’t feel anything while the lasers are on me, but I always feel a difference afterwards, especially when I am doing my regime on the ice the next day. It is incredible how science and technology have been combined to create a machine that helps stimulate tissue healing and decreases the time it normally takes injuries to heal! LiLT has been extremely useful for me and has allowed me to continue my training uninterrupted in preparation for the upcoming National Championships. A great big thank you to Melinda who has ensured that my body has the ability to keep up with the strenuous impact of figure skating!

Why I chose LiLT and for what condition

Over several years this 79 year old retired military officer noticed progressive loss of feeling below by knees resulting in balance, strength and stamina issues. Several falls happened, my daily walks were reduced from 30 minutes to 10 or less, and my golf game disappeared, frequently struggling to play just 9 holes- badly. The diagnosis was Peripheral Neuropathy: damaged nerves leading toward muscle atrophy and loss of sensory feedback. I was led to believe it was not treatable, and would be progressive.

Then I was introduced to Low Intensity Light Therapy. I had never heard of LiLT and was doubtful, but five health professionals in my family advised me to just give it a good try. I am so glad I did.

Results I have experienced and how it helped my condition

After about two dozen treatments, I saw a dramatic change. Balance returned, I could feel my feet and calves, I keep up with my wife’s shopping trips of an hour or more, play 18 holes of golf again, and walk a quick straight line like a military person should.

LiLT Testimonial from Jodi T.

I had experienced chronic lower back pain for a couple of years and had tried multiple approaches. While my symptoms would improve, they seemed to always return. The pain was effecting my lifestyle. I decided to try laser therapy (LiLT) to see if it would help reduce the pain levels.

The first thing I noticed, was that the area of pain began to reduce and became more focused or localized. At about 14 sessions, I noticed a turning point and I suddenly experienced significant improvement: at time being completely pain free. I am now able to return to my normal activities without pain (hiking, skiing and traveling)!

LiLT Testimonial from Cindy D.

I was involved in a car crash and sustained significant neck and back injuries as well as a bad concussion. I started LiLT soon after the crash. My initial treatments focused on my worst injuries, those to my neck and head. My neck began to feel better in a very short time (with just 5-6 sessions my pain was dramatically reduced in that area and I was no longer nauseous). We then moved the LiLT therapy to my lower back and I am now experiencing relief there as well. I believe the light therapy has sped my recovery in all of the treated areas.

 

LiLT Testimonial from S. Spitzer

I injured my upper back, neck and shoulder falling over backwards. Healing was very slow and the injury was causing complications despite excellent chiropractic care and massage therapy. It seemed to me that light therapy might be worth a try.

I experienced no discomfort at all during the therapy session and the results were unexpectedly dramatic. The referring pain in my shoulder and arm disappeared. My ability to sleep on my back and on my right side returned (doing so before created too much pain) so that for the first time in the two weeks since the fall I was able to sleep through the night. The extreme tightness in large groups of muscles was significantly relieved, ameliorating the problems they were causing. These beneficial effects have continued to endure many months later (I had 3 sessions total and my symptoms are completely resolved).
