For a session of Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy and Pulsed Laser for Fracture Healing which takes around 45 mins it costs £75, he's based in Ipswich (only one in the UK) so if you go that far its best to go for 2 sessions in one hit with lunchtime in between so this is £150.

For my neck I went for 4 double sessions worth and for my collarbone I think I only went for 1 or 2 sessions which is all that is needed because its so effective.

He also sold me a special shoulder brace to wear as well with my collarbone, which promoted fixing in the correct position, unlike a sling which sets the shoulder in a drooped lower position which messes up future posture.

thanks George, that's really helpful to know.
From what you are saying about the time you broke your collar bone, this sounds like a miracle cure.
It also sounds really cheap considering.
Next time I break something, I'll pay him a visit . :D

Oh no I've broken my toe :cry: .....I feel a trip to Dr. Laser coming on .

With all the major injuries he's cured sounds like he should have a little toe sorted in about 5 minutes.

Seriously though I'm going skiing in 3 weeks so need to do something as I cant even get my cycling shoe on at the moment :x :x

Ouch - bad luck mate. What happened? Post-pub piggy back incident?

(If only you'd come out training with me like you normally do, you'd have been fine :wink: )

Hmm, that must have stung a bit :cry:

Don't worry though, Apples - as George's example illustrates, it's amazing what modern medicine can achieve :shock:

And just think - you'll get 10% off your pedicures :wink:
