My name is Bob MacAulay and I would like to tell you about the benefits I received from the laser treatments I was given at the Winnipeg Pain Treatment Center.
My left ankle and foot had been operated on in 1955 as a result of the paralysis due to the polio epidemic. The poor circulation in my foot caused it to be extremely cold and swollen limiting movement at times.
I met Merrilyn Irvine when I was at the center with a relative for his appointment. In conversation we discussed the problems I was having and she suggested I give the laser treatment a try. She set up a series of appointments for me.
After only a few treatments my ankle and foot started to give me more flexibility as I was able to walk for longer periods with less pain. As the treatments continued the swelling lessened and the foot was no longer prone to severe coldness.
Because of receiving these treatments I have more mobility now and enjoy a range of physical activity that only caused me pain previously.
