[GreyHair&GreyMatter]

Our granddaughter who just turned 12 was suffering from RSDS on her right heel as the result of a rather bizarre soccer injury for approximately four or five months with an omnipresent pain of 8 on a scale from one to ten! She went to numerous traditional physicians and physical therapists/anesthesiologists for months all to no avail. Finally, almost out of desperation our granddaughter saw Dr. Constance Haber in Monroeville, PA a suburb of Pittsburgh. Cameron had about ten photon treatments each lasting about 90 minutes each directly under Dr. Haber's care. Cameron had two initial treatments [approximately 3 hours] on the day that she arrived and also two 90 minute treatments on each Wednesday she was in Pittsburgh. I don't know what is so special about Wednesday, but that's what Cameron related to me.

Supposedly, e.g., per Dr. Haber's instructions Cameron isn't supposed to receive any more physical therapy on her right foot. Evidently, now that Cameron's pain has [miraculously] abated supposedly as a direct result of the photon treatments, doing physical therapy on her foot will only make matters worse and not better! As a result according to Dr. Haber Cameron's foot now needs to heal and she isn't supposed to run, [exert extreme pressure on her foot] e.g., for the next 6 months! Naturally there are exercises that Cameron is supposed to pursue in the interim to strengthen her foot including swimming and some type(s) of yoga/dance the details of which I'll provide to you as soon as I, myself, am debriefed. Supposedly, if Cameron doesn't follow Dr. Haber's prescribed regiment she indicated the RSDS could/would return!

P.S. Again, it's interesting and puzzling that cutting-edge RSDS treatment seems to be centered in Palo Alto, [Stanford] Pittsburgh, [Dr. Haber's private practice and the Pittsburgh Institute] Baltimore, [Johns Hopkins for adults, but not for children under 18] and Boston [Harvard].

Let me know what has been your experience with photon treatments. Thanks.
