Faster Wound Healing
Laser light stimulates fibroblast development and accelerates collagen.
Anti-Inflammatory Action
Laser light reduces swelling caused by bruising or inflammation of joints to provide enhanced joint mobility.
Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation
Laser light reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from: cuts, scratches, burns or post surgery.
Increased Metabolic Activity
Higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells and thus greater production of the basic food source for cells, Adenosine triphospate (ATP).
Increased Vascular Activity
Laser light induces temporary vasodilation increasing blood flow to damaged areas.
Stimulated Nerve Function
Slow recovery of nerve function in damaged tissue can result in “dead” limbs or numb areas. Laser light speeds up the process of nerve cell re-connection to bring the numb areas back to life.

I injured my lower back in January 2011 which put me out of work for 2 months. I went to Dr. Mierzwa for chiropractic care and went back to work with no problems. Then I re-injured my back in May of 2013 and it was worse. I couldn’t stand up straight; I was bent over and in extreme pain.
I went to my doctor who gave me about 4 prescriptions and physical therapy. I did this for about 3 or 4 months. Everything they tried made it worse with more pain. Then I went for an MRI to find out I have 3 bulging discs in my neck with bony fibrous growths on the outside and 4 bulging discs in the lower back.
I was then sent to the first 2 spine specialists who said “you’re too young” and they wouldn’t do anything for me. I saw a couple more specialists who ran tests and suggested 10 injections to the spine for about 4 months. There was no change so they wanted to do more injections and possibly fusion.
I went to one last specialist, tried 4 more injections which didn’t work. They suggested to go to a chiropractor who may give me 6 more years before needing surgery.
I called Forestville Chiropractic and talked to Dr. Jessica Mierzwa who suggested trying cold Laser Therapy. I was ready for anything, so why not? I was out of work for 6 months with no change in my back pain or being able to stand up straight when I started the Laser therapy. After a few visits, my pain level went from a 10 everyday to a 5 or 6 and now it is down to a 3 or 4 which is great!
Now I can also stand straight up without being bent over looking like a 90 year old man with no spine. I am now back to work and I do 1 to 2 appointments a week. Thanks Dr. Mierzwa, you are the best chiropractor in the world.

My name is Vanessa Buck and I am an Assistant Manager at KFC/Taco Bell in Fredonia. I recently endured a Brachial Plexus injury while walking my dog on his leash.
My shoulder was forced down which caused damage to the upper nerves that make up the brachial plexus, and my neck stretched up and away from my shoulder. The lower nerves were also injured because my arm was forced above my head when I fell. Due to my injury, I felt paralyzed.
I was taken out of work by my primary care physician for a week. It was extremely difficult for me to sleep, sit, stand, drive my car, shower etc. I was prescribed a steroid, as well as a muscle relaxer, but I was still in constant, unbearable pain. I was also prescribed Occupational Therapy.
After six days on the medication, and one visit at the Occupational Therapist, I was still completely miserable. I saw Dr. Mierzwa in passing a week later. I had stopped at her clinic to pay my bill, and she could tell something was wrong. I explained my situation to her and she told me that she wanted to try her Theralase treatment on me. Theralase is a cold laser treatment that can be used on humans, as well as animals.
Theralase capabilities include healing neural muscular skeletal conditions through pain elimination and inflammation reduction and increased tissue regeneration. Theralase lasers penetrate up to 10 cm below the skin surface, and heal tissue faster than any other cold laser on the market.
My primary care physician told me that it could take up to seven weeks for me to begin healing from my injury. After only three Theralase treatments, I felt an incredible amount of relief. I was back to work earlier than anticipated, I did not finish my prescribed steroid or muscle relaxer, and I did not return to Occupational Therapy.
After seven treatments, I was 100% better. I have not had any neck or shoulder pain since my last treatment. I would highly recommend trying Theralase treatments from Dr. Mierzwa!
