Testimonial: High Intensity Laser for Achillies Tendonitis

Symptoms of my Achilles tendinitis prior to laser treatment: For 18 months I had a burning, sharp, and aching pain. When I would walk, especially longer periods of walking, climb ladders, or stand for long period of times the tendon would become inflamed and very painful. I could not rest my heel on the couch. I had to keep a pillow under my calve so the heel was not actually touching anything. I had trouble walking. When getting out of bed in the morning I had trouble putting my foot on the floor and walk. Level of pain was 10 or higher. It would be constant pain. The only time it would calm down was to be sedate and immobile. I had been told by another podiatrist that there was nothing more that could be done for I had to “deal with the pain”.
The tendinitis did interfere with my daily activities. I could not remain on my feet for long periods of time. I had trouble riding my ATV, walking the dog, standing, even standing to make meals would cause pain. I could not walk quickly. I had trouble doing Thai Chi, going to the gym and riding a bike.
My symptoms were approximately 18 months.
I tried heat, ice, below the knee walking boot, physical therapy, stretching exercises and a cortisone injection.
Following laser treatment: I noticed an improvement in the pain level after two treatments. I had less pain which allowed me to become more mobile. As the treatment process advanced, I began to increase my exercise by walking about ½ mile first. I began cycling, and Thai Chi. I could clean the house and cook meals without intense pain. When I continued to add more miles to my walk, I noticed some pain which would go away quickly. Prior to treatments I would be laid up for several days with pain. Following treatment, I could keep going.
As of this writing, I have completed 10 treatments two years and 3 months since my last treatment. . I am 100% improved. I have no pain or limitations.
The pain following treatment is occasional, and mild, it dissipates within a few minutes.
The Achilles is completely pain free during everyday activities.
Laser treatment has significantly improved my quality of life. I have no limitations.
I am extremely satisfied with the laser treatment. I cannot express my appreciation enough for Doctor Bocian’s treatment. It has made an incredible improvement in my life. I was at the point where other doctors had told me there is nothing they can do unless/until the Achilles tears.
I highly recommend this laser treatment to anyone. We need more doctors such as Dr. Bocian.

Testimonial: High Intensity Laser for Plantar Fasciitis

I returned to Dr. Bocian to receive laser treatment for plantar fasciitis. I had such success with the same treatment on my Achilles tendinitis 2 years ago. The symptoms were burning, sharp pain, aching, difficulty walking and performing daily activities. The pain level was a 10 utilizing the pain scale of 1-10. It was constant pain, increasing substantially going from a resting with leg up to standing position.

I had the plantar fasciitis for approximately one year prior to consulting Dr. Bocian. It interfered with daily life such as cleaning, walking, playing with the dog. It seriously hindered my work out routines at the gym, and riding a bike. Walking long distances was out of the question. Hiking, and dog walking stopped.

Prior to laser treatment I had pain medication, night splint, ice, stretching, elevation, orthotic devices, acupuncture, massage and Epson salt soak. I knew better than to ask for cortisone shot, which could have weakened it or possibly very temporary relief.

I have now received 10 laser treatments and could not be happier with the outcome! I am 95% pain free. I can go to the gym, walk, bike, and even climb a ladder. If I feel anything at all it is extremely temporary and on a pain level of 1-2. The next day there was no pain at all. I feel very confident I will attain 100% pain relief. I am extremely happy with the outcome. No downtime, no surgery, no medication, and no limitations.

Symptoms continue to improve. Yesterday I was extremely active with the dog, taking down and putting Christmas decorations away. Up and down the ladder to the attic. No pain at all. Today, no pain at all. I go do my normal exercise activities and have no pain at all.

Words cannot express how happy I am with the Laser treatment results. I highly recommend D. Bocian's High Intensity Laser Treatment (HILT). I refer others from the gym to see Dr. Bocian when I hear they are experiencing Achilles tendinitis or plantar fasciitis. It is an amazing development in noninvasive foot procedures, and I am very thankful Dr. Bocian had the insight to begin the process. It absolutely works.

Testimonial: High Intensity Laser for Morton's Neuroma

In 2007, I sustained a nerve injury to my left foot. I couldn’t walk for 24 hours, but afterwards things seemed to go back to normal. Irritation continued to grow on that foot, however, and in 2009 I saw a podiatrist and got orthotics.

In 2011, another podiatrist explained morton's neuroma to me and offered various approaches to the problem. Finally in 2015 I had surgery on my left foot. That procedure didn’t offer relief; I still felt pain while walking and standing.

In 2017 I called the center for morton’s Neuroma in Farmington, MA, to ask about radio frequency ablation. An MRI of my foot was required before any procedure. That MRI showed no other anomaly. I received RFA (Platelet- Rich Plasma) in fall 2017 and spring 2018. The CMN said 3 treatments were often required for symptom relief.

I sought RFA closer to home at Valley Foot and Ankle in Renton, WA, in 2021 and 2023. These treatments did not offer PRP. Relief lasted about a year each time. My final RFA with PRP was CMN in Farmington in 2024. This modality was wonderful and gave relief but wasn’t durable for me.

Throughout all these years, I wore orthotics in my shoes. I walked around the neighborhood, but hiking became out of the question. I couldn't stand barefoot in the shower, couldn't walk around the house without shoes. Standing still for any length of time wasn’t possible unless I shifted my weight to the other foot.

Weary of the rollercoaster of pain and travel for treatment, my online research pointed me locally to Dr. Darin Bocian and his high intensity laser treatment. Dr. Bocian explained he normally treated Morton's neuroma with HILT, but that my case was a little different in that I'd already had surgery. An MRI showed no stump neuroma but a fair amount of scar tissue.

After an initial full- strength dose of 2,000 pulses, we agreed on 1,000 pulses every two weeks. By the second treatment, I experienced 30% improvement. Walking was easier and I was able to tolerate a change of shoes, different types of socks. Treatment #8 saw me at 60% improvement. I was able to walk over a mile with only slight discomfort. I felt enthusiasm and confidence to broaden my range of activities.

After the round of 10 treatments, Dr. Bocian offered an assessment. I elected to have several more sessions. By session #12 I was at 70% improvement. High intensity laser treatments have been a lifesaver for me. I am very happy with my improved ability to walk, to stand, to function every day. I recommend HILT to people who are suffering from Morton's neuroma, whether or not you’ve had other types of treatments.

Follow- up post HILT for Morton's Neuroma

I am now 8+ years beyond the treatment completed with Dr. Bocian for Morton’s neuroma in my right foot. My symptoms are completely gone, and I walk normally on that foot without pain. The feeling of “fullness” I referenced after treatment in 2018 has also resolved. I am very happy with the non-invasive treatment that cured my problem and restored my ability to enjoy an active lifestyle. Thank you, Dr. Bocian!

Initial Testimonal for Laser Treatment for Morton's Neuroma

About 1 year ago (Apr. 2017) I sought your help to find a solution for the
pain in my right foot. I am an avid walker/hiker (5-7 miles/day) and the
pain in my foot shortened what I could comfortably do. It hindered
shopping, cooking in my kitchen, and recreational activities because I would
simply have to get off my feet to alleviate the pain.
The pain was aching soreness and often turned to numbness in the third and
fourth toes. It would draw the toes under in a constricting, throbbing
feeling and ultimately become so intense that I’d just have to sit down.

I’ve had 16 laser treatments and most of my symptoms have gone away. I
would say I am 85% improved. There is a feeling that there is something in
that area of the foot, but it no longer causes the pain and discomfort it
once did. I’ve resumed all the activities I used to do and never have to
stop because of foot pain. I feel the neuroma is still there because there
is a sensation of fullness, or something foreign in the area, but it no
longer causes pain.

I am really satisfied with the treatment. Being able to do all that I enjoy
doing is wonderful! And the fact that the treatment was non- invasive was a
great bonus and I would recommend this treatment to others.

Thank you, Dr. Bocian, for your caring, compassionate, and effective
treatment and giving me back my active lifestyle!

Testimonial: High Intensity Laser for Morton's Neuroma

How long have you had these symptoms?

My pre-operative symptoms were very intense, dull ache with extreme pain on the ball of my right foot. Morton’s neuroma was interfering with my daily life. I had to remove my shoe frequently to massage the pain and my walking distance was reduced significantly. I had been experiencing pain in my foot for approximately two to three years prior to laser treatment received from Dr. Bocian.

Mention previous treatments prior to laser treatment including any injection(s), physical therapy, shoe modifications, orthotic devices, surgery, etc.

I had no previous treatments for this condition.

Describe improvement following laser treatment

What % of improvement have you achieved following laser treatment?

After completing 10 laser treatments, my pain was almost totally gone. 2 months following the 10th treatment. My pain was 100% gone.

How frequent is the pain, if any, following laser treatment?

My pain has disappeared completely and I am now able to walk and stand on my feet pain-free

Describe your current symptoms now, if any, following laser treatment. Are your symptoms continuing to improve, staying the same, or getting worse?

It has now been about 6 years since my last laser treatment. My pain has disappeared completely.

Has the laser treatment improved your quality of life?

I can definitely state, unequivocally, that my quality of life has improved greatly since the completion of the laser treatments, and for that I am truly grateful to Dr. Bocian

Following completion of laser treatment for Morton's neuroma are you somewhat satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied, extremely satisfied, or unsatisfied?

Obviously, I am 100% satisfied with the results of the laser treatments.

Would you recommend this laser treatment for Morton's neuroma?

Testimonial: High Intensity Laser for Morton's Neuroma

I was seen in 2017 for laser treatment for Morton's neuroma of my right foot.

Please describe the symptoms of your Morton's neuroma prior to laser treatment

I had a dull ache that was on the 1-10 pain scale of about 5, but it was near constant.

Did your Morton's neuroma interfere with activities of daily living or quality-of-life?

Yes, absolutely. I am a hiker, a cyclist, and a drummer and my neuroma prevented me from doing these things without considerable pain and discomfort. It even made walking my dog difficult.

How long have you had these symptoms?

Probably since around 2014/2015. I used to live in NM and I saw 2 different podiatrists about my problem.

Mention previous treatments prior to laser treatment including any injection(s), physical therapy, shoe modifications, orthotic devices, surgery, etc.

I had 3 steroid injections, tried OTC orthotics with a met pad, tried physical therapy, none of which made much of a difference.

Describe improvement following laser treatment

At first I felt like there was a slight improvement and was a little disappointed, but after a few weeks and months things improved greatly. I did have to return a couple of years later for a couple of additional treatments, but the long-term result has been fantastic. I still feel it occasionally but it is nowhere near as painful, nor as restrictive of my activities. In fact, I have had several days where I am on my feet all day and as long as I wear comfortable shoes I have no problems. I am now able to do all of the activities that my neuroma prevented me from being able to do.

What % of improvement have you achieved following laser treatment?

I would say probably around 90%. It is not 100% just because as mentioned earlier, I still know it's there and it can bother me, but it is rare.

How frequent is the pain, if any, following laser treatment?

Rare. It only really bothers me if I'm wearing shoes that don't have enough structure or if I'm wearing socks or shoes that are too tight, which I try not to do. Occasionally I'll feel it but usually if I stretch my hamstrings it improves.

Describe your current symptoms now, if any, following laser treatment. Are your symptoms continuing to improve, staying the same, or getting worse?

I would say that they're pretty much staying the same, and considering that it's been 6 years since I had a couple of additional sessions following my initial treatment, the outcome is excellent.

Has the laser treatment improved your quality of life?

No doubt about it, yes.

Following completion of laser treatment for Morton's neuroma are you somewhat satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied, extremely satisfied, or unsatisfied?

I am extremely satisfied and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Would you recommend this laser treatment for Morton's neuroma?

Definitely yes!

Would you recommend this laser treatment for Morton's neuroma?

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Bocian and his staff to anyone experiencing foot pain

In 2013 I came to visit you for a pain in my left foot that was keeping me from my normal activities. The best way I could describe the pain was that I was stepping on a small rock which was excruciating on a barefoot. At that time, you performed tests including ultrasound that helped you determine I more than likely had a Morton’s Neuroma. You asked me if I would like to participate in a study to determine if a laser treatment could help resolve my concerns. I accepted and was then given an MRI that definitively found a growth in between my second and third toes. As I recall, we deduced that this injury was more than likely, the result of a jogging incident from ~ 1998 timeframe, where I had come down on a rock that caused such pain that I had to walk home.

Symptoms prior to laser treatment included sharp and dull pain as well as tingling and numbness in my affected toes. I cannot remember the exact date or time that I started having symptoms but by 2013 I could not walk barefoot. I had to wear thick soled “flipflops” around the pool and in the house rather than walk around barefoot, even briefly. The pain level was high enough to keep me from jogging on the street and doing other activities/exercises that may cause me to land on that foot. I would estimate between 8 and 10 for a pain level, when attempting barefoot walking or other weight bearing activities. The neuroma most definitely affected my daily activity and quality of life considering these issues.

I do not recall any treatment prior to coming into your office other than making sure I had high quality shoes and or inserts that took pressure off the area of my foot (and good thick slippers and flipflops). I did get a cortisone injection for another issue in a joint above my big toe during my first or second visit to your office.

I believe I started feeling improvement after a couple of laser treatments as I recall. After final laser treatment I was at least 85% better and able to resume normal activities. As time went on, I continued to improve and at the time of writing this (August 13, 2025) I don’t have any issue related to the neuroma. I would have to estimate a close to 100% recovery considering the current status. Like any individual would, I am more cautious now, not to injure or put unnecessary stress on my feet. I don’t recall post laser pain being significant or even measurable beyond a 1 or 2. One thing for certain is I can now walk around barefoot even 11 -12 years later.

It is apparent the laser treatment worked on me and vastly improved my quality of life because even today, I exercise regularly on an elliptical machine and lift weights as well as go on strenuous hikes and other outdoor/indoor activities.

I am extremely satisfied with the results of the treatment and was many years ago post treatment. I would recommend this treatment for others experiencing the pain and limitations this affliction put on me. The treatment was painless, comfortable, and best or all, non-invasive.

Testimonial: High Intensity Laser for Plantar Fasciitis

Symptoms prior to Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis (PF)

I had been dealing with chronic PF for three years. Early on I could give the foot some rest and it would
resolve. But as an athletic adult I would soon re-injure it, either playing sports or in my daily walk to
work. I lived in New York City where I commuted to work 5 days a week walking 3 miles each day in
dress shoes. It got so painful that I frequently took taxis because walking wasn’t possible.
At its worst the pain was constant while standing walking and at rest, and excruciating each morning
upon getting out of bed. In fact some mornings I would try to walk on my heels to the shower and
slowly work mobility into the feet.
When I moved to Arizona, I was in an exercise class with a friend who could see I was favoring my feet
and in pain. She immediately know it was PF because she too used to suffer. She recommended I see Dr.
Bocian for laser treatments, saying it had cured her. I was dubious, but desperate. So I made an
appointment and signed up for the series of treatments.
I was pleasantly surprised the treatments allowed me to continue my normal routine through the series.
After 10 treatments I felt about 90% cured. I purchased quality arch supports for my shoes. And
continued my regular activities.
Approximately 6 months after the last treatment I was planning a vacation where I would be walking
cities for 10 days. Knowing I had additional treatments available from the original package I had
purchased, I scheduled two more preventative treatments as insurance. I enjoyed the vacation
completely free of foot pain!
I waited six months since my last treatment before writing this testimonial to give time for the PF to
return. It hasn’t. I now live a full active life including 3-4 High Intensity Interval Training classes each
week, plus hiking, walking the dog, playing Volleyball etc. On a few occasions since then I thought I
might have felt a twinge of it returning. When that happened I gave myself a day of rest and then
resumed my activities.
I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results of the laser treatments for my PF.

Did Plantar Fasciitis interfere with ADL or quality of life

Absolutely. I had difficulty in my work commute, I missed events and activities that I once loved. And at
age 54 I felt like an old man when I was hobbling.

How long have you had these symptoms

For three years prior to treatment, with the severity and frequency steadily increasing.

Previous treatments or remedies tried

R.I.C.E, orthotics, physical therapy, NSAIDs, heat, new shoes, reduction of activities I loved.

Describe improvement following laser treatment

100% cured. No pain. Have resumed all previous activities.

Testimonial: High Intensity Laser for Achilles Tendinopathy

I am a 60-year-old women who had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Darin Alan Bocian almost six years ago (2019). I went to Dr Bocian for pain to my left Achilles tendon which I had been experiencing for the past five months at that time. My Achilles pain was sharp, burning, and aching which made it difficult to do daily activities. My pain was constant. I would rate my pain level then as an 8 out of 10. Previous treatment from other providers consisted of a double strap ankle brace and topical anti-inflammatory pain medication which failed to provide any significant improvement. After examining my left ankle and hearing about my

symptoms, Dr. Bocian suggested I get an MRI of my left Achilles tendon. Based on the MRI findings he gave me the option of trying laser treatment for Achilles tendonitis. This was the beginning of what I would consider the best treatment of my life!!! With each laser treatment I could feel my Achilles pain lessen. I was slowly able to do my daily activities with some to no

pain at all. I was finally getting some pain relief for the first time in months. With every treatment, my pain level diminished. By the time I had my final Achilles tendonitis treatment I was 100% pain free!!! It has been close to six years now and I am still 100% pain free with no symptoms of sharp stabbing pain, burning sensations or achiness in my Achilles. Dr. Darin Bocian’s Achilles tendonitis Laser Treatment has changed my life. The fact that my Achilles tendon is 100% pain free without having to undergo surgery is a HUGE testimonial of success for Dr. Bocian’s Laser Treatment practice. I am extremely satisfied with his Achilles laser procedure and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to be pain free. Thank you so much Dr.

Bocian for giving me back my quality of life.

Testimonial: High Intensity Laser for Morton's Neuroma

Doctor Bocian,

First of all, I'd like to say thank you for your dedication to your patients and their treatment and the alleviation of their pain. Secondly, I'd like to thank you for your patience for my lack of timeliness in providing this testimonial. I wanted to wait until we returned from our trip so I could comment on any pain, or lack thereof, during our trip abroad.

Prior to your laser treatment, I was experiencing pain under the third and fourth toes on my left foot with any extended amount of walking. Typically, I would experience a painful burning sensation to the point that I couldn't walk without experiencing extreme pain. The pain usually kicked in at about the 2 1/2 mile point while walking. It was a constant pain after that.

2. The Morton's neuroma definitely interfered with my quality of life.

3. I had had the symptoms for years.

4. I received a cortisone shot prior to the laser treatment and could tell no difference from prior to the injection.

5. Following the laser treatments, I would say that the pain has pretty much gone away. I experienced the same pain following the first few treatments but the pain gradually went away and I have not been experiencing any noticeable pain. I have done a lot of walking over the last couple of months, not extremely long distances, but have not experienced any pain.

6. I would definitely say that my symptoms improved over time and have greatly improved my quality of life.

7. I am extremely satisfied with the results of the laser treatment and would definitely recommend this treatment to anyone with Morton's neuroma.

Testimonial: High Intensity Laser for Achillies Tendonitis Follow up 4 years

April 2019 injured the Achilles tendon; diagnosis was Achilles tendonitis. Symptoms of my Achilles tendonitis prior to laser treatment: For 18 months Achilles tendon was inflamed and constantly painful. The pain included burning, sharp, and aching pain.

Difficulty walking, climbing ladders, or standing for long periods of time. Could not rest heel on the couch. Had to keep a pillow under my calf so the heel was not touching anything. In the morning there was extreme pain putting my foot on the floor and walking. The level of pain was a 10 (utilizing the 1-10 pain scale).

Achilles tendonitis interfered with daily activities. Could not remain on my feet for long periods of time. Trouble and pain riding ATV, walking the dog, standing, even standing to make meals, practicing T’ai Chi, gym classes and riding a bike.
