Client experiences

Read below some patient experiences with High Power Deep Tissue Laser Therapy:

Therapy after knee osteoarthritis -I am so happy! I had my first Deep Tissue Laser Therapy on my left knee on Friday. I have had severe bone pain from osteoarthritis for 3 years, which has made it difficult for me to walk. I walked with a limp, sometimes to the point of tears. After the first treatment I got up and walked normally without pain. After the treatment I went to the store and realized how well it went. I could simply walk longer and even do my shopping without pain. That first took a few days and became longer and longer. After my knee replacement I needed a few more treatments to speed up the recovery process and that helped me enormously. I would recommend this treatment to everyone. Thank you Feyk!

Therapy after hernia surgery - I am 77 years old and have lived in Doetinchem for almost 30 years. I am a retired military officer and served in the fire service for 47 years. As a man you often think that you are still 30 and that we will always be able to walk for a long time. But in 2007 my right leg suddenly stopped working, and within 8 minutes my life was never the same again. I ended up in hospital acutely with a low double hernia and had to undergo a number of operations during that year. Even after that, I couldn't even walk from my front door to our car. I was lucky enough to be referred to Hogenbirk by some good friends. The remaining complaints were due to a muscle and nerve problem in my lower back. After several treatments with the High Power Laser, it was a miracle that came true. I no longer had severe pain in my lower back and no radiance in my leg. This made my lower back stronger, but also my legs and hips. My balance has also improved enormously, I am now able to walk in the center again, etc. I am of course grateful to the doctors in the hospital, but also for Feyk's treatments. My family also sees the difference that treatment has made in my life. I have my life back..!

Read below some experiences of patients with High Energy Shockwave therapy:

ShockWave Shoulder - I am in healthcare and have been walking around with a painful shoulder for years. First the right and now the left also started, due to the overload. The doctor gave me an injection a few times every year, but the ultrasound done in the hospital showed that there was calcium in a shoulder muscle. I had read an article and advertisement in Hogenbirk's Het Vizier and his special shockwave method, so I called them for an appointment. Plenty of time, good explanations and an ultrasound during the examination. After the first treatment I was able to lie down better and I no longer woke up from the pain. I have had a total of 8 treatments and now I am pain free again and I can bear weight well. The complaints on the left side have also disappeared, even without treatment, because I no longer overloaded him. It cost a bit, but then you got something. Hats off!

Shockwave Heel spur - I couldn't stand on my feet all day and was in danger of going on disability disability. I have a demanding job. After the shockwave treatments, I am virtually free of complaints and can relax in my profession (car mechanic) again.

Shockwave Heel Spur - The shockwave treatment has helped me with more than 90% of my complaints. I couldn't wear a shoe for a year and a half, let alone walk in it. I was in a lot of pain. Now, after a few treatments, I can wear all my shoes again and walk like a lapwing again, without pain.

Shockwave Heel Spur - I had been suffering from heel spurs for a year. Podo insoles, night splints, painkillers - it all didn't help. After eight shockwave treatments, I am pain-free and walking as usual.

Shockwave Heel Spurs - It was a long and painful road, but if you persevere, you will ultimately be your own winner. Both feet had a heel spur and what a pain. Difficulty getting up and walking. After a number of treatments, I am able to do things again that I have not been able to do for a long time. Walking the dog, up two flights of stairs to the attic, shopping! Thank you for letting me come to you for your Shockwave therapy.

Shockwave Shoulders - I had problems with my left shoulder for years, less mobile, very painful, took a lot of painkillers, which didn't help, cortisone injections, which didn't always work either. Then my right shoulder also started. I was desperate, I could not lie down, walk, cycle, drive, etc. Photos showed that it was so-called calcifications in the shoulders. I have gone through all the processes, physiotherapy, manual therapy, chiropractic and osteopathy, with little to no results. Ultimately, injections were given again in both shoulders, until there was no choice for surgery, but after searching various forums on the internet, the picture did not become more positive. I eventually found Feyk Hogenbirk from Shockwave Doetinchem via the internet and I selected the practice because he also works with ultrasound and has a lot of experience in it. So he can see exactly where the lime is and what to do about it. I should have done this much earlier. After a few treatments I had much less pain and my mobility started to increase again. I can sleep again, cycle, drive, exercise, but also the simple things such as washing my hair and dressing and undressing myself. The mobility is also coming back, although it still takes a lot of practice, but that cannot be otherwise, because all in all I have not been able to use my arms properly for years. I am SUPER HAPPY with this result.

Shockwave Shoulder - In 2006 I started to suffer from increasing shoulder complaints. Moving the arms became very painful. Lifting was no longer possible. Massage and heat treatment with a “normal” physiotherapist did not help. After 7 shockwave treatments I have good results. Get your arms behind your back again and wash your hair properly again. I am virtually pain free and my mobility is ok again. [Arie, 78 years]

Shockwave Shoulder - After years of painful complaints and suffering with no prospect of recovery, I went to the doctor again, who referred me to the orthopedist at Spittaal. There was one of the options: surgery or Shockwave therapy. But he knew little about that yet. That's why he asked me to report the results back to him. After a few treatments, the result became clearly noticeable and it was no longer an ordeal to put on a T-shirt. In short, a fantastic result, no more complaints.

Shoulder - I have benefited greatly from the treatment with Shockwave therapy. Before I started I used 6 painkillers – extra strong – per day! Now not even one more per day. I had pain in both shoulders. I now get up from bed in the morning without pain. Ideal! I now have full use of both arms again, without resistance or snapping.

Tennis elbow – after years of problems with my elbow and many treatments later, injections, pills and regular physio, I came into contact with Shockwave therapy. After 6 treatments I am virtually pain free. Thank you!
