The Grind- Red Wing great Darren McCarty has a deep appreciation for Laser Pain Therapy

Tens of thousands of hours of practice, 15 seasons of professional hockey, and 4 Stanley Cup wins with the Detroit Red Wings. Darren McCarty played the perfect balance between enforcer and virtuoso, known not only for one of the most infamous fights in NHL history, but also scoring the overtime goal that gave the Wings their first Stanley Cup Victory in over 40 years.

That relentless grind came at a cost. In one year, Darren subjected his body to more physical abuse than most adults endure in a lifetime. In 2009, Darren retired from the game he loved, and began to deal with the physical ramifications.

“I was a mess,” Darren laughs. “It really shouldn’t hurt to wake up in the morning, but man, it sure does.” Dealing with a host of persistent issues, it’s Darren’s back that has been his most constant source of pain.

“I’ve tried everything, ya know? Sports doctors, medications, injections, surgeries, but there’s just some stuff you can’t undo.” Darren’s struggle was very personal, and manifested itself in numerous ways that deeply affected his quality of life.

But anyone who has ever met Darren knows his infectious passion for life, and he always searched for something better. That’s when he discovered Pain Free Life Centers of Troy.

“I LOVE what Pain Free Life Centers does; they really believe in helping people on their journey, and that’s what life’s all about, right? I’ve gotten fantastic results; my back is feeling better than it has for a decade. When they asked if I was interested in saying a few kind words about them, I told them to sit back and give me a microphone.”

What Darren discovered at Pain Free Life Centers is a completely non-invasive method for pain relief, without the drugs, injections, surgeries and side effects he dealt with for years. And the treatments? “Man, it’s like sunshine on your back, it feels so good I can hardly explain it. Not only has it made a noticeable improvement in my pain, but in my range of motion. I played golf for the first time in forever recently. It helped me get back to my “normal”, and that’s such a cool thing.”

Darren smiles when he talks about his new family at Pain Free Life Centers. “I love everyone there, they’re just so welcoming, and they help SO many people. I believe in giving back, and I love seeing others who think the same way.” Darren laughs, “I just wish I had them when I was still in the NHL, maybe it would have been five Stanley cups.”

Bob Dutko’s Journey to a Pain Free Life

For 12 years, WMUZ host Bob Dutko has been living with pain resulting from a knee injury. Beginning with a torn Mencius and ACL, his knee got progressively worse until the scar tissue progressively lead to Stage 4 Arthritis.

Bob was in severe pain, unable to walk more than 100 feet at a time. He began using a cane, and doctors told him his only option was to get regular knee injections and use prescription painkillers, and would eventually require a knee replacement anyway.

Not happy with his condition or options, Bob discovered High Dose-High Intensity Laser Therapy from Pain Free Life Centers. His results were impressive, and Bob sat down with Center Director Jeff Morton to discuss his journey and how laser therapy can help others.

Pain Free Life Centers Helps 2018 Olympic Medalist Kyle Mack

Pain Free Life Centers (PFLC) continues to be the leader in pain management using their exclusive High-Dose Laser Therapy program. This program is totally non-invasive and uses NO DRUGS, NO INJECTIONS, NO SURGERY, and has NO SIDE EFFECTS.

Pain Free Life Centers has more than eight years of success stories, now including 2018 Olympic Silver Medalist, Kyle Mack. PFLC helps Kyle stay on the slopes, allowing him to continue training for the 2022 Olympics. Not only are Pain Free Life Centers the most experienced providers of Laser Therapy, they are exclusive providers of High-Dose Laser Therapy.

High-Dose Laser Therapy works by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation, using specific wavelengths of light. This process is called photobiomodulation. Albert Einstein discovered in 1917 that human cells respond to light. High-Dose Laser Therapy is able to penetrate below the skin to the damaged cells. This gives cells the ability to produce more oxygen, which creates healthy cells. Healthy cells create healthy tissue, increasing blood flow and stimulating the body to produce nitric oxide, the body’s natural’s anti-inflammatory. With more blood flow and less inflammation, the body is able to heal and reduce pain naturally.

PFLC treats many conditions, including; sciatica, back pain, herniated disc, bulging disc, spinal stenosis, neuropathy, osteo-arthritis, fibromyalgia, knee pain, shoulder pain, bursitis, tennis elbow, migraines, plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, soft tissue injuries, nerve pain, and Achilles tendonitis, just to name a few. At PFLC, we see many patients for post-surgical healing because High-Dose Laser Therapy will reduce healing time.

What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Today is day to take back your life. You can beat your pain. STOP the addicting drugs, the painful injections, and the unnecessary surgeries. At Pain Free Life Centers, we are so confident in what we do, your consultation and first treatment are free. Make Pain Free Life Centers your first choice, not your last resort.

What are you waiting for? You have nothing to lose but the pain.

Case Study for TBI & High Dose Cold Laser Therapy

Patient: A 57-year-old male, in good health, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, January 2004, in a pedestrian vs. automobile accident.

Patient’s symptoms since his TBI include, but are not limited to, Attention Deficit Disorder, Complex Migraine with Aura, extreme fatigue, brain fog, short term memory loss.

Patient has been under a neuropsychiatrist’s care since his injury and has been through extensive rehabilitation, speech and occupational therapies. Patient has had Complex Migraine with Aura since his accident. He averaged several in a 30-day period and has had as many as 14 in one month.

(March 2018)

There are definite triggers that encourage a migraine to begin. He has tried many medications for his condition, with very little success. He has found a combination of medications that will decrease the length of a complex migraine if taken at the onset.

If the medication is not taken at the onset, the patient will experience “stroke-like” symptoms, i.e. loss of speech, compromised/loss of motor skills, pain, blurred vision and full body spasm. Symptoms can last for many hours and recovery can last days.

In May 2018, patient sought the alternative treatment of High Dose Cold Laser Therapy, for his TBI, at Pain Free Life Centers. Patient started his treatments May 3, 2018 and has received ten, twenty-minute treatments total, with the last one being August 10, 2018. His migraines first reduced in frequency and the patient has now reported that as of July 2018, this was the first month, in 14.5 years since his accident, that he has not had a single migraine. As of today’s date, September 6, 2018, patient is still migraine free. It should also be noted that the “triggers” that would’ve caused a migraine in the past, were still present in his everyday life.
