After Years of Pain, Three Detroiters Get Back into Fast Lane

West Bloomfield, MI – April 11, 2011 – Brian Grzyb was sidelined from triathlon training because of extreme lower back pain. Tony Gambee experienced years of excruciating ankle pain due to a freak accident. And retired teacher Barbara Degrazia gave up on an active life when arthritis assaulted her right knee.

Unfortunately, each of these people suffered for years despite their best efforts utilizing a variety of traditional treatments – medication, surgery, physical therapy – even orthotics. Their collective attempts at relieving pain and regaining mobility were ultimately unsuccessful.

Thanks to West Bloomfield orthopedic surgeons at the Ronald S. Lederman, MD, PLLC, Center for Orthopedic Surgery, Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy who specialize in next generation MLS Laser Therapy, Brain, Tony, Barbara – and many others – are benefiting from this revolutionary new technology. They are the first and only orthopedic practice in a major metropolitan area in the country exclusively providing this advance in modern medicine.

When asked today to rate her knee pain on a scale of one to ten, Barbara happily answers zero. Tony says, “After seven years of pain, seven minutes of this laser changed my life.” He now reports being pain free. And after just six treatments, Brian is back to running without pain.

“All I can say is ‘amazing’,” said Brian, a personal trainer. “I’ll be back competing in triathlons in just a few months thanks to MLS Laser Therapy.”

These are just three examples of how MLS Laser Therapy is helping two doctors return patients to active lifestyles quickly and without drugs, needles or invasive surgery.

“MLS Laser Therapy has many benefits,” said Ronald S. Lederman, MD, board certified and fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon. “This non-surgical treatment decreases inflammation and pain and accelerates the healing process with no known side effects. It is the very latest in medical technology and we are proud to offer our patients something no one else can.”

Though lasers have been used by doctors for some 35 years, MLS Laser Therapy is a state-of-the-art breakthrough in restoring patient mobility. This innovative therapy works at a cellular level using a synchronized combination of laser emissions, simultaneously addressing swelling, pain and the loss of joint motion. The result is a significant leap forward and a huge departure from traditional treatments.

“We see patients from all walks of life – young and old – and suffering from a variety of ailments,” said Dr. Mark Kwartowitz, board certified orthopedic surgeon with fellowship in sports medicine, working with Dr. Lederman. “Using the MLS Laser, the cells of the tendons, ligaments and muscles repair themselves faster. As the inflammation is reduced, the pain subsides, helping the body achieve a speedy recovery.”

Unlike some pharmacological solutions or invasive treatments, MLS Laser Therapy has no known negative side effects. Patients report that many acute conditions subside with one phase of six short treatments. Chronic conditions can be successfully controlled with one phase of 10 short treatments followed by an occasional maintenance treatment.

In just one eight-minute pain-free treatment, patients suffering from a variety of musculoskeletal disorders, including degenerative joint conditions, as well as sports injuries are on their way to relief.

“For the first time in my 17 years of practice when traditional treatments such as medications, injections and surgery fail to completely provide patients the results we expected, I had limited alternatives until now,” said Dr. Lederman. “If the traditional avenues did not work, our patients were without much hope. Adding MLS Laser Therapy to our practice has revolutionized how we can care for our patients. What we’re finding is that over 90% of our patients are experiencing significant improvement of their symptoms in as little as one to two treatments.”

MLS Laser Therapy dramatically reduces postsurgical recovery times, including joint replacements and fracture fixations. “Because MLS reduces inflammation, pain, and accelerates healing process, our patients are seeing faster healing times after injury and surgery,” said Dr. Lederman.

Dr. Kwartowitz added: “MLS Laser Therapy benefits patients suffering from many orthopedic conditions and sports injuries from head to toe. From neck pain to heel pain, and conditions in between, including back pain, tendonitis, disc injuries, tennis & golf elbow and traumatic injuries, with MLS Laser Therapy available, there is no reason to live with pain or abandon an active lifestyle. We want you out there and living life.”
