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

Therapy after Arthrosis Knee - 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 arthrosis for 3 years, which made it difficult for me to walk. I limped, 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 that went. I could just walk longer and even do my shopping without pain. That took a few days at first and it kept getting 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 soldier and have been in the fire brigade 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 with a low double hernia and had to undergo a number of operations during that year. Even after that, I could not even walk from my front door to our car. I was lucky enough to be referred to Hogenbirk by some good friends. The residual complaints were caused by 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 more radiation in my leg. My lower back became stronger as a result, as well as my legs and hips. My balance has also improved tremendously, I am now able to walk downtown, etc. I am of course grateful to the doctors in the hospital, but also to Feyk's treatments. My family also sees the difference that treatment has made in my life. I have my life back..!

Read below some patient experiences with High Energy Shockwave therapy:

ShockWave Shoulder - I work in healthcare and have been walking around with a painful shoulder for years. First on the right and now the left started too, due to overloading it. I got an injection from the GP a few times a year, but the ultrasound that was made in the hospital showed that there was calcium in a shoulder muscle. I had once read an article and advertisement in Het Vizier by Hogenbirk and his special shockwave method, so I called them for an appointment. All the time, good explanation and an ultrasound during the examination. After the first treatment I could lie on it better and I no longer woke up from the pain. I had a total of 8 treatments and now I am pain-free again and I can put good strain on it. The complaints on the left have also disappeared, even without treatment, because I no longer overloaded it. It cost a bit, but then you have something. Hats off!

Shockwave Heel Spur - I could not stand on my feet all day and was in danger of ending up in the WAO. I have a heavy standing job. After the shockwave treatments I am almost free of complaints and can relax again in my profession (car mechanic).

Shockwave Heel Spur - The shockwave treatment has helped me with more than 90% of my complaints. I couldn't even wear a shoe for a year and a half, let alone walk in them. I was in a lot of pain. Now, after a few treatments, I can wear all 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 didn't help at all. After eight shockwave treatments I am pain free and can walk like I used to.

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

Shockwave Shoulders - I had been having problems with my left shoulder for years, less mobile, very painful, taking a lot of painkillers, which did not help at all, cortisone injections, which did not always work either. Then my right shoulder started too. I was desperate, I could not lie down, walk, cycle, drive a car, etc. Photos showed that it was so-called calcifications in the shoulders. I went through all the other courses, physiotherapy, manual therapy, chiropractic and osteopathy, with little to no result. Eventually injections in both shoulders again, until there was no choice but to operate, but after searching various forums on the internet, the picture did not become more positive. Eventually I ended up at Feyk Hogenbirk from Shockwave Doetinchem via the internet and I chose the practice specifically because he also works with ultrasound and has a lot of experience in it. He can therefore 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 a car, do sports, but also do simple things like washing my hair, dressing and undressing myself. My mobility is also coming back, although it still takes a lot of practice, but that is inevitable, 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 my arms became very painful. Lifting was no longer possible. Massage and heat treatment by a "regular" physiotherapist did not help. After 7 shockwave treatments I have good results. I can put my arms behind my back again, I can wash my hair properly again. I am almost pain-free and my mobility is ok again. [Arie, 78 yrs]

Shockwave Shoulder - After years of painful complaints and suffering without any prospect of recovery, I went to the GP again, who referred me to the orthopaedic surgeon at Spittaal. One of the options was surgery or shockwave therapy. But he didn't know much about that. That's why he asked me to report back to him with the results. After a few treatments, the result was already 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 less than one per day. I had pain in both shoulders. In the morning I now get out of bed without pain. Ideal! I can now use both my arms completely again, without resistance or snapping.

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