Dr. Ted Marriott, D.C.
Pasadena, CA
"I have been using this for 3 weeks now and see amazing results not only for my patients but with myself. My arthritic right hip is 80% less painful and it was a moderate to severe problem for over 2 years. I'm not even done with the suggested course of therapy and I've gotten 80% improvement! That's Huge!"
"I really like cold laser therapy as a natural adjunct for my practice. It compliments our adjustments since it stimulates cellular healing."
Erin Downey, PT, DPT, CCRT
Physical Therapist
"I have used a few different brands and when it came time to invest in my own, hands down, the Avant-LZ30x has been the most reliable, easy to use, and produced the best outcomes for my patients both human and canine."
"I have been using a cold laser for 10 years throughout my career as a physical therapist."
Dr. Trent Habstritt
San Diego, CA
"In 13 years as a chiro I have yet to come across any healing device that has worked so well. My father after a lifetime of low back pain told me last Easter that this is the first time he can remember being pain free."
"My mother has straightened out the curve in her upper back and gained about an inch and a half of height back. For someone in their upper 60s this is very impressive."

Bruce H. Dohner, D.C.
Chiropractor
"Since adding the TerraQuant laser to our practice two years ago, our effectiveness in treating both chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain syndromes has most definitely increased. Many referrals that we get are primarily for laser treatment, especially plantar fasciitis, knee pain, shoulder pain and carpal tunnel syndrome."
Dr. Maria Hofmaier, DC
Founder, Hofmaier Chiropractic
"A patient suffering from Bell's Palsy experienced a full recovery within an 8-week period with a treatment plan of 3x week, 10 minutes each treatment. The TerraQuant Laser offered our patient a completely painless and non-invasive treatment option instead of a surgical procedure."
Dr. William J. Kneebone
CNC, DIHom, FIAMA, DIACT
"I have ten laser or phototherapy devices in my offices. The TerraQuant is one of my favorites because of its effectiveness, ease of use, broad safety margin, and reasonable price. One of the most unique effects of laser therapy is the quick relief it predictably provides."
Dr. Ronald (Chip) R. Weisel
Hartville Health & Wellness Centre, OH
"The LaserStim's ability to not only help identify the area to treat, but also the dose required is truly an advantage. Having used other laser devices, I find this laser gets better results, is much easier to use, and is insurance reimbursable."
Erin Blais, PT
Rhode Island Rehab
"I have used it for a variety of conditions, from back and neck muscular dysfunction, to shoulder, hip, and knee tendonitis/strains and post surgical conditions. I have also used it for some of my fibromyalgia patients, with good results. The TerraQuant has greatly benefited my patients overall."
Brent Ungar, DC
Pain & Wellness Center, Canton, OH
"I have been practicing for 20 years and have always kept up with the latest technology. The TerraQuant Laser is the most scientific and effective modality that has come along since Therapeutic Ultrasound. It has increased our patient referrals significantly."
Vince Giardina, PT, MPT, RD, CLS
Physical Therapist
"TerraQuant is the best physical therapy tool since the McKenzie method! I have had great success treating all types of musculoskeletal disorders from post operative swelling to chronic tendonitis. With patients having less swelling and pain I can perform manual therapy and therapeutic exercises earlier in their rehabilitation."
Michael L. Underhill, DC, CCST, CCSP
Sports Chiropractor, Beaverton, OR
"A diabetic patient with an above-the-knee amputation had a wound that wouldn't heal for one year despite visits to a university wound clinic. In 30 days of laser therapy, we were able to completely heal the wound that had been present for 1 year."
Dr. Jayne Gould
Chartered Physiotherapist, London, UK
"I have found the TerraQuant Laser simple and easy to use. It has been very effective in the treatment of shoulder and elbow problems, specifically tennis elbow. It has also helped to resolve some stubborn sprained ankles. The TerraQuant is also a helpful adjunct for scar management especially in the hand."
Dr. Remi Guibert, MD MSC
Nutech Health, Melbourne, Australia
"Age 78: This patient had bilateral Achilles tendonitis and bilateral plantar fasciitis for several weeks. Treatment consisted of 6 sessions over two weeks. At the end of the treatment period, this gentleman was pain-free and fully enjoyed his bowling again."
Dr. Karen Mitchell, DC
Austin, TX
"The EVO is incredibly user-friendly. I was up and running within an hour of unboxing. The touchscreen protocols make it easy to train staff, and patients love seeing their treatment parameters on screen. We've seen excellent results with rotator cuff injuries and chronic neck pain."
Dr. Robert Park, DPT
Denver, CO
"I upgraded from an older Class 3B system to the EVO and the difference is remarkable. The power output cuts treatment times significantly. What used to take 15 minutes now takes 5. My patients appreciate the shorter sessions and I can see more people without sacrificing outcomes."
Dr. James Chen, MD
Seattle, WA
"As a pain management physician, I was skeptical about adding laser therapy to my practice. The ATP Max changed my mind. The clinical research behind their superpulsing technology is solid, and more importantly, my patients are responding. Particularly impressed with results on peripheral neuropathy cases."
Dr. Lisa Hernandez, DC, CCSP
Phoenix, AZ
"I work with a lot of CrossFit athletes and weekend warriors. The EVO has become essential for treating overuse injuries—patellar tendinitis, Achilles issues, shoulder impingement. The combination of wavelengths seems to accelerate the healing process compared to single-wavelength units I've used before."
Dr. Michael Wright, DC
Minneapolis, MN
"The ReGen gives me Class 4 power at a Class 3B price point. I compared specs with lasers costing twice as much—the ReGen actually outperforms most of them. For a practice that's budget-conscious but doesn't want to compromise on clinical outcomes, this is the answer."
Dr. Sarah Morrison, DVM
Portland, OR
"The ATP Max has been a game-changer for our veterinary practice. Dogs with hip dysplasia, cats with arthritis, even post-surgical recovery—the results speak for themselves. Pet owners are amazed when their senior dog starts moving like a puppy again. No placebo effect with animals."
Jennifer Reed, PT, DPT
Salt Lake City, UT
"We have three ReGen units across our clinic locations. Consistency is key when you're training multiple therapists—everyone gets the same results because the protocols are standardized. The dual-wavelength approach (808nm + 905nm) covers both superficial and deep tissue effectively."
Dr. David Wilson, DC
Nashville, TN
"I've owned my ATP Max for 8 years now and it's still going strong. Build quality is exceptional—this thing is built like a tank. The Canadian engineering really shows. ROI was achieved within the first year and it's been pure profit since. Best equipment investment I've made."
Dr. Nancy Patel, DC
Chicago, IL
"The EVO replaced three older devices in my practice. The versatility is unmatched—I use it for everything from acute sports injuries to chronic degenerative conditions. The built-in protocol library saved me hours of programming time. Patients are amazed by how quickly their pain decreases."
Angela Torres, LAc
San Francisco, CA
"I use the ATP Max for laser acupuncture—treating acupoints without needles. Many of my patients who are needle-phobic can now receive treatment. The precision of the ATP Max probe is perfect for point stimulation. It's expanded my practice to patients I couldn't serve before."
Dr. Carlos Bautista, DC
Miami, FL
"Coming from a Class 4 background, I was curious about the ReGen's superpulsed approach. After 6 months of use, I'm convinced. Comparable tissue response without the thermal management concerns. My staff doesn't need to worry about safety protocols as much, and patients report no discomfort during treatment."
Dr. Thomas Garcia, PT, OCS
San Diego, CA
"Working with professional athletes, I need equipment that delivers consistent results under pressure. The EVO has become my go-to for pre-game preparation and post-game recovery. The athletes request it by name now. Treatment times are fast enough to work with tight schedules."
Dr. Patricia Lee, MD
Houston, TX
"The ATP Max fits perfectly into our regenerative medicine protocols. We combine it with PRP and stem cell therapies—the laser seems to enhance outcomes significantly. The research backing ATP Max technology gave me confidence to integrate it into an evidence-based practice."
Dr. Amanda Martinez, DC
Tampa, FL
"Started with a ReGen as my first laser and couldn't be happier. The learning curve was minimal—I was treating patients confidently within a day. The price point let me add laser therapy to my practice without a massive upfront investment. ROI was positive within four months."
Rachel Kim, DPT, CSCS
Boston, MA
"I compared five different laser systems before choosing the EVO. The combination of power output, wavelength options, and ease of use made it the clear winner. Six months in and I've already recommended it to three colleagues. The customer support from ColdLasers.org has been exceptional too."
Dr. Kevin Sullivan, DC
Philadelphia, PA
"I've had my ATP Max for over 5 years—it's treated thousands of patients without a single issue. The durability alone justifies the investment. My favorite cases are the 'impossible' ones other practitioners have given up on. The ATP Max frequently surprises me with what it can accomplish."
Dr. Brian Thompson, PT, DPT
Scottsdale, AZ
"The ReGen punches way above its weight class. Comparing it to lasers costing $15-20K more, the clinical outcomes are virtually identical. The dual wavelength combination (808nm continuous + 905nm superpulsed) gives me flexibility for different tissue depths and conditions."
Dr. Emily Harrison, DVM
Lexington, KY
"In equine medicine, you need a laser that can handle large treatment areas and deep tissue penetration. The ATP Max cluster probe is perfect for horses—suspensory injuries, back soreness, hoof issues. Trainers are asking for laser therapy by name after seeing the results on their horses."
Dr. Laura Watson, DC
Raleigh, NC
"Nick at ColdLasers.org recommended the ReGen based on my practice needs and budget. He was right—it's perfect for a family practice seeing everything from pediatric growing pains to geriatric arthritis. The portability is great too; I can move it between treatment rooms easily."
Dr. Jonathan Marks, DC, DABCO
Atlanta, GA
"The ATP Max superpulsing technology delivers energy without the heat concerns of continuous wave lasers. I can treat sensitive areas—face, hands, feet—without worrying about thermal damage. The precision makes it invaluable for TMJ cases and carpal tunnel syndrome."

Thomas DeSousa

"The laser has dramatically improved a chronic back condition, which is now approximately 75% better. I also had carpal tunnel syndrome and was starting to plan for an operation. After my first laser treatment I knew I was on to something—that condition also improved by approximately 50%."
"We also treat our senior dog for arthritis and nerve problems in his rear legs. He was able to walk and get around so much better than before."
Kyle R.
Home User, 2018
"The Avant laser is amazing. We definitely made the right choice for man and beast. I think I'm seeing results for the neuropathy in my legs. It's done wonders for my lower back and neck as well as my dog."
Prab
Home User
"I couldn't walk last week due to my arthritis but I was back on my feet in a couple of days with the help of the Avant without pain meds so that's really good."
Tiffany
Home User & Horse Owner
"Everyone was amazed, including my doctor, at how quickly I recovered. Also, we have used the laser on all kinds of horse ailments and the results have been remarkable."
Mrs. D. Nathaniel

"I have been suffering from severe chronic pain in my knee joints which made bending my knees and going up and down the stairs excruciatingly painful. After ten days of daily treatment, I can now bend my knees and walk up and down the stairs with greater ease."
"I thank my daughter every day for buying me TerraQuant as a present."
Mr. J Bird
Cleveland, Teeside
"An amazing device. I have a diabetic ulcer in my leg that until recently did not show signs of healing. After just one course of TerraQuant treatment my ulcer is definitely showing signs of healing and is getting smaller."
Athletes & Sports Professionals
Competitive athletes and sports medicine professionals share their experiences.
Vasiliy Alekseyev
8-Time Weightlifting World Champion
"I have been suffering with severe pain in my legs for years and nothing seemed to help. They did one session with the TerraQuant Laser by just slowly scanning over the joints. Once I got up, I was able to walk without any pain."
"Named Top Athlete of the 20th Century, International Sport Legend."
Tom Barbeau
3-Time Olympic Coach
"The TerraQuant has been a God-send for both me and my athletes. A knee ligament injury became chronic. After 2 days and 6 sessions, the scar tissue was reduced by 50% and the pain by 90%. Five young athletes have recovered from various injuries after 1 to 3 days."
Molly Hahn, Ph.D
National Tennis Champion
"I compete in national tennis competitions, so injury prevention and rapid recovery are important to me. I use the TerraQuant when I initially feel weakness or sensitivity in a muscle or joint. As a result, injuries have been essentially nonexistent."
Igor N. Burdenko, Ph.D.
Burdenko Water & Sports Therapy Institute
"With my extensive experience working with chronic and acute injuries, TerraQuant Laser is the most advanced and effective modality which I use for many world class athletes as well as lay people."
Douglas Johnson, ATC, EES, CLS
Laser Center of Michigan
"In my opinion, the TerraQuant is by far one of the most advanced technologies available on the market today. Not only does it help me to return my athletes to play faster after an injury, it manages my clinical patient's pain in a way that is superior to other modalities."
Clinical Case Studies
Documented cases from medical professionals around the world.
Patient suffering from severe pain in the left foot, unable to stand on it. Upon X-ray, Plantar Fasciitis due to a spur was diagnosed. On VAS scale, pains were at level 6-7. Following 8 treatments with the laser device, pains were reduced to level 2, and the patient started to walk freely.
Age 84: Patient had sustained a fractured coccyx several years earlier and remained very sore. Could not sit straight and traveling by car was limited. Analgesics, NSAIDs, and acupuncture had no effect. Treatment consisted of 12 sessions over four weeks. After 12 treatments, she was pain-free and could walk and travel by car without restriction.
52-year-old male with pure low back pain, 3 months post-discectomy. A decrease in pain was obtained and after the third treatment he was able to return to physical therapy (which he had stopped due to the severity of the back pain).
Age 72: Retired woman suffering from left hip pain that reduced her ability to walk and prevented sleeping on her left side. Ultrasound confirmed bursitis. Treatment consisted of eight TerraQuant sessions over three weeks. At the end of treatment, the patient was pain-free and could enjoy her walks again.
Age 43: Electrician suffering from lateral epicondylitis for several months with increasing intensity, even at rest and at night. NSAIDs provided little relief. Treatment consisted of 6 sessions over three weeks combined with myotherapy. After treatment, patient was pain-free while using his arm and at rest.
Age 34: Acute injury occurred while playing basketball. Achilles tendon was swollen and acutely painful. Treatment consisted of three 10-minute sessions for one week combined with NSAIDs. At end of treatment, patient was able to walk freely; Achilles tendon was not painful at palpation.
