I have experienced remarkable results due to Desneige Datillo's Cold Low Level Laser treatments.
I was in trauma following a serious fall and the doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital allowed her to treat me.
I believe it had a major impact on my recovery.
Prior to that, I was experiencing severe pain in my legs and Ms. Datillo's cold laser treatment gave me great relief.

I came to Desneige with a pain in my shoulder that was shooting down my arm.
I had taken tons of pain reliever but nothing helped and it had been going on for about one month.
In just one treatment with her laser the pain was completely gone and six months later it still hasn't returned.

I had been in constant pain since the end of June 2008.
Doctors kept giving me more and more and more pain medication.
My problem was sciatic, after one treatment with Desneige I received immediate relief.
That first night was my 1st night of sleep in a long time without pain.
I have been off all pain medication now and the pain level has gone from a 10 to a 1.5 something I can live with.

I have had two great healing experiences with Desneige.
She is the consummate, caring and skilled professional.
She works in a holistic and powerful way and gets results.
Desneige maximizing acupuncture and magnets healed my trigger finger in a series of visits.
Recently, having had two years of difficulty with Achilles tendonitis and both to 50% once treated by cold laser treatment.
I am now back to 100% capability running daily with huge mileage.
Desneige is the Best!

I had serious burning pain in my hip due to bursitis.
This condition left me unable to enjoy walking or working out at the gym for any length of time.
Something I really enjoy.
I have been through all phases of therapy.
The orthopedic doctor, the physical therapy and then the cortisone injections.
Nothing seemed to keep the bursitis at bay.
I heard about Essential Energetics through a friend that had been to see Desneige and told me she was cured.
I was a bit skeptical. I had never heard of low level laser therapeutics.
So at my wits end I decided to give it a try.
I went to one visit and was very surprised at the relief I had with the burning sensation in the hip.
On my second visit I was so much better and able to go for a long walk.
On visit three and four I got full relief.
Desneige Datillo helped me tremendously and is a very caring person trying her best to help people with pain.

I was in constant pain for 17 years before I saw Desneige for treatment.
I had 4 knee scopes and an ACL replacement.
When I had my first treatment, I noticed that the swelling had disappeared; I had good range of movement in my knee.
I was so happy and pain free. No pain in the knees, back or neck.
So far I have had 3 treatments and I feel 100% better.
I never thought I could live without pain.
If all else fails, look into this treatment, you won't regret it.

I have chronic inflammation.
When a flare up occurs it can be completely debilitating.
During an episode, weekly treatment with the cold laser allows me to regain mobility and a wide range of motion.
Prior to availing myself of this healing technique, I could go long periods of times with very limited movement.

I suffered with plantar fascitis for over a year and a half.
A bad running shoe was the culprit.
My podiatrist recommended a cortisone shot as a quick way to reduce or eliminate the pain.
I feared the potential adverse consequence of such a treatment.
Instead, I opted for the nightly foot brace and rest.
I stopped running...
The healing process was very slow and I continued to have the pain with that first step out of bed in the morning.
Also, I had that stretching sensation for too often.
Then, at a point of great frustration and anger.
I remembered the success I experienced with acupuncture for my infertility.
When I talked with Desneige she suggested that I try cold laser, a new technique she had just begun to introduce to her patients.
I was absolutely amazed by the results on my first visit!!
After a series of three sessions, I am no longer in pain and am now running 4-5 times a week.
It's a miracle... I never thought I would recover from this injury!

For years I've been told tremors in my left hand were a result of damage done during the alcoholic years of my life.
Talking with Desneige I came to realize that a skull fracture suffered when I was nine could have left scar tissue causing the tremors.
After the first cold laser treatment the tremors stopped.
Bi-monthly treatments continue to keep these tremors from reappearing.

I developed bursitis in my shoulder.
I had it fifteen years ago.
When I called my doctor, I found out there are no new treatments for it.
I knew I was in for 2-3 weeks of pain.
I decided to try laser.
After two treatments, I was pain free.
I am thankful for this new treatment.

I just wanted to give my testimonial about the wonderful work Desneige Datillo at Essential Energetics is doing.
I have been going to Desneige for quite a number of years for acupuncture and she has always helped me.
Recently, however, while sitting on the telephone speaking to a friend my sciatic nerve suddenly without warning went into severe spasm.
The pain was so intense; I could not speak for a moment or two- could not even catch my breath and had to remain in the chair for 15 minutes till the spam subsided.
I called and made and appointment to see the Chiropractor, which helped somewhat, however I was still in great pain and called Desneige desperate for an appointment.
She squeezed me in and when I arrived she said she had a new instrument which would probably give me better results than acupuncture has in the past.
She assured me it was painless and non-invasive.
It was the Cold Laser machine.
All I can say is that it was nothing short of amazing- I hobbled into the office in a great deal of pain and walked out perfectly fine- pain gone!
One treatment is all it took.
Pain gone... I was totally impressed and healed!
About 3 months ago my car was rear-ended in a drive thru.
No visible damage was done to the car.
But the muscle which starts at the base of the skull went into spasm, both down my right arm and down my back to the top of pelvic girdle.
The Chiropractor would work on the bones, only to have the muscle go back into spasm, which would pull the bones out of alignment again.
Because Desneige was booked solid for the next three months I sought the help of another acupuncturist.
She did what she called trigger points on me.
The first session worked, for a day or two and I was relatively pain free, but the second session did not- so it was back and forth between the Chiropractor and Acupuncturist for the next two months.
Finally, I said I've had enough; I need to see Desneige and asked her to squeeze me in whenever she could.
I asked if I could be treated with the laser and she said of course.
I have had a total of three treatments this time because of the various areas of my neck, shoulder and back which have been in spasm.
The spasms have subsided, the pain is down to a level 0-1 overall and the freedom of movement is back to what it should be.
I cannot say enough about this incredible machine. It is wonderful. I hope that many individual are helped as much as I have been.
Thank you for allowing me to write this testimonial.

I have known Desneige Datillo in a professional capacity for approximately sixteen years.
Over that period of time I have been her patient for a number of medical issues.
My personal approach to my health care had been to blend traditional Western Medicine with Eastern Medical Treatment.
For example, the application of acupuncture by Desneige considerably reduced the postoperative pain of disc surgery and lessened recovery time.
Treatments for other problems have been equally successful including balancing emotional health.
I cannot overstate the benefits of acupuncture in this latter case.
Desneige continues to obtain cutting edge training and technology that compliments her practice and benefits her patients.
My experience with the compassionate and skilled application of treatment provided by Desneige had always been positive.
I am so convinced of her abilities that I have whole heartedly recommended her to others many times.
All of the feedback from these recommendations has been as positive as my own experiences.

After my cancer surgery, Desneige treated me for wound healing quickly and successfully with the Zerona, even after the sutures came apart after the first week home.
It was a very painful operation and in an awkward area for healing, but that didn't make it awkward for Desneige or the Zerona to set to the affected area.
My doctors were amazed at my recovery and that the recovery included a Cold Laser.
Every week they would ask if I'd gone for my cold laser treatments and asked for literature regarding the Zerona.
I was very lucky to have both Desneige and the Zerona on my side. I am now completely healed.

Greetings! My name is Jennifer Wilson and I am a new patient of Desneige Datillo.
A friend of mine has been a patient of Desneige's for years and has strongly urged me to meet with Desniege.
I have been a runner for most of my life, having run 4 marathons and 3 triathlons in my past.
In 2000, I herniated a disc in my back.
The disc rested on a nerve that runs to my left hip causing excruciating pain.
Due to the position of the herniation, surgery is not an attractive option.
Additionally I developed bursitis in the left hip.
The pain prevents me from running long distance.
I cannot run more than 2 miles without experiencing severe pain.
I normally sleep on my stomach, but that causes pain in my hip, so I've had to retrain myself to sleep on my back or my left side.
Sleeping on my stomach or on the right side causes enough pain to wake me from a deep sleep – several times a night.
I have not had a full nights sleep – pain free since 2000.
My job requires me to spend a great deal of time driving in the car.
I had to sell my standard and buy an automatic car because the clutch caused too much pain in my hip.
Even with an automatic, I experience a great deal of pain sitting in the car for extended periods of time.
Initially I tried physical therapy to relieve the pain, but it did not help.
I then tried chiropractic, with no results.
I was then referred to an anesthesiologist who administered cortisone injections into my spine (an epidural shot).
This did relieve the pain. I had to have 1 shot per week for 3 weeks, every 3 months in order to get relief.
Plus an injection directly to the hip to address the bursitis.
I endured this for 6 years. And I then read about the health issues related to too much cortisone in the body.
In December, I was involved in a automobile accident and sustained a significant whiplash injury.
Additionally, the pain in my hip was exacerbated and driving became very painful even for short distances.
Any type of exercise bothered my hip and my neck, shoulders and back.
I began physical therapy to treat the whiplash, but the therapist could not treat both the whiplash and hip injuries at the same time.
She stated that the soft tissue injury would heal faster than the bursitis and hip pain.
After 4 weeks of physical therapy 3 times per week to my neck, shoulders and back, I felt relief, but it was minimal.
The therapist said that it could take many months for me to feel a significant change.
I decided that it was time for me to seek alternatives.
My father is a surgeon and my mother is a nurse.
I spent my entire life believing that traditional medicine is the only way to truly heal the body.
Alternative medicine was considered hockus pockus in my house.
I approached Desneige's cold laser therapy and acupuncture with the utmost in skepticism.
I did not believe for a second that she would be able to provide me with even the slightest relief of the pain that I was experiencing.
But I had tried every type of traditional medical treatment available with the exception of surgery, so I decided that before I resort to surgery that I should at least give the alternative medicine a try.
Desneige spent a great deal of time talking with me about my injuries and complaints of pain and discomfort.
She explained the cold laser therapy and I remember looking at her and trying to figure out if she was crazy.
It was difficult for me to believe that a registered nurse (Desneige is an RN) would actually believe that a red beam of light pointed in the direction of the body could actually provide any sort of pain relief.
It truly sounded absurd to me, to the point where I almost wanted to laugh out loud.
But I have a great deal of respect for the friend who recommended Desneige, so I decided that I needed to be open to all possibilities.
As Desneige was pointing the laser beam onto my hip, I said "How do you know that this laser therapy actually works, and its not just a larger version of the laser pointer that speakers use in presentations?".
She just smiled at me and said that she'd rather I experience it myself, than try to explain what she knows.
Soon enough I began to feel that I was in fact the crazy person.
Much to my shock, I felt instant relief in my hip.
It seemed impossible! I remember when I went to the physical therapist for my hip, he explained that the area around the bursitis in my hip is in a constant state of tension.
He told me to concentrate on relaxing the muscles around my hip in an effort to reduce the inflammation.
There I sat on the table in Desneige's office, watching her wave the laser wand over my hip and despite my utter skepticism, I could actually feel the tension releasing in my hip.
I was stunned! She asked me to touch the area that was most painful to provide her with an area of concentration.
I know this area well as it has been painful to the touch for 8 years.
I touched the area and felt that same familiar jolt of pain.
She pointed the laser over that area for several minutes.
And then she was done. She asked me to stand and to touch the painful area again.
It wasn't there. For the first time in 8 years, I could not ignite the pain in my hip by touching the area.
I was stunned silent. I did not say anything to Desneige because I couldn't find the words to describe how I was feeling.
I was certain that in a few hours I would feel the familiar twinge of pain, so I didn't want to endorse the procedure yet.
The next morning I awoke and realized that for the first time in 8 years, I slept soundly.
It was the best night's sleep that I experienced in 8 years.
I had become so accustomed to waking up every few hours due to the pain in my hip that I had forgotten what it felt like to actually sleep for several hours uninterrupted.
That realization literally brought tears streaming down my face.
Both from the joy of having a solid 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep as well as the realization that I haven't felt that way for 8 years.
I wanted to call Desneige immediately to thank her.
But it was 6:00 am and I decided that was too early.
Also, I figured the pain would return, so again, I didn't want to falsely endorse the treatment.
I did not feel any pain in my hip for 4 days.
I enjoyed the best sleep for those 4 days.
When the pain returned, it was minimal.
The following week I returned for more laser therapy and again felt the tension lift around the hip area.
Oh, did I mention the neck and shoulder pain? After the 1st treatment I did not feel much relief, after the 2nd treatment the soft tissue pain in my neck is gone completely and the pain in my shoulder, which was so painful that light massage was sending me jumping off the table is now gone, with barely a residue of discomfort.
I have only had 2 laser treatments and have been pain free for a month.
I do not understand how the laser therapy works, but I can assure you that it does work and it is worth every penny.
I told Desneige that I would like to write a testimonial because I was a true skeptic in the beginning and now I can't stop talking about cold laser therapy.
I would recommend it to anyone who is experience pain and is finding no relief from conventional treatment.
I feel eternally grateful to the friend that brought me to Desneige and to cold laser therapy!
Desneige suggested that I reach out to you.
