Calmare Therapy Los Angeles CA - Los Angeles, California

By all means, if you or your loved ones and friends suffer chronic intractable pain, you will greatly benefit with treatments administered by Dr. Orlando. Not only would I judge him an expert in applying the Scrambler Therapy treatment, I can personally attest to how compassionate and generous he is during the time in which this was done. And his follow up in closely monitoring the treatment was a welcome addition as well.

Dr Orlando is a wonderful practitioner who brings an incredible degree of skill and compassion to his treatment protocols. I was diagnosed with CRPS several months ago, and after running the gamut of nerve blocks, medication and other treatments (more than can be mentioned in a short review), I found his practice. I was curious after reading his many good reviews and the Mayo Clinic study. Over the course of a two-weeks protocol, which I repeated twice, I experienced profound change. After the first session, I experienced ten minutes of my foot feeling "calm": no pain, and a sense that the turbulent waters of CRPS had parted for a brief, but blissful moment. It gave me hope. By my last session, I was walking. I had entered Dr Orlando's practice unable to even gently touch my foot on the ground. Over time, and via his many well-constructed treatments (as well as a healthy dose of his positivity and encouragement along the way), I got better. There is still a way to go, but knowing this therapy is out there—and being administered by such expert, science-based, caring doctors as Dr Orlando—has been life changing. I would highly encourage any CRPS sufferers to give it a go.

Calmare scrambler technology radically improved my mother's quality of life. Chemotherapy had caused such severe peripheral neuropathy that her oncologist stopped her original treatment. My mom had extreme pain in her fingers and numbness in her toes and feet. This compromised her mobility and ability to do even the simplest of tasks on her own. It was a difficult time both physically and mentally for her. She had been taking gabapentin, but the medication had no effect on relieving her pain. Gabapentin made her extremely tired, thus making the situation more difficult.

My family came across Calmare Therapy Los Angeles on the internet as we desperately searched for options. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have stumbled across Dr. Orlando and his practice. My mother's oncologist and other specialists had never heard of Calmare Therapy. Yet, we found many research articles from prominent institutions which reported remarkable benefits on patients suffering from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Hospitals and research centers are beginning to employ the technology in conjunction with chemotherapy. By alleviating these debilitating side effects, patients can endure chemotherapy longer, thus increasing their chances of survival.

While the treatment is FDA approved, insurance did not cover any of the expenses. However, the results were worth every cent. After about 2 weeks of daily treatments (M-F), my mother had no pain in her fingers and no numbness in her feet and toes. Her situation improved each day during the treatment. It was incredible to witness the progress! It was almost unbelievable to my mom. Plus, there were no side effects.

It has been over a month since her treatment. She has experienced no regression. While back on chemotherapy, my mother has her energy, mobility, and positive spirit back! Calmare Therapy has been life-changing for my mother. Simply amazing!

Dr. Orlando was equally remarkable. He had a genuine concern for my mother's well-being and a calm, professional demeanor. Dr. Orlando took great care of her and was keen on monitoring the progress carefully. He and his assistant, Alex, treated all of us family members well, too. While we were happy when the treatment was over, we did miss our visits with Dr. Orlando! My family and I highly recommend Dr. Orlando and his Calmare Therapy practice.

Calmare therapy dramatically reduced my severe CRPS pain and gave me my life back. I don't understand why every pain doctor in the country doesn't have this machine.
