I have a C7-T1 spinal cord injury from a blood compression that happened in July 2002, when I was only 12 years old.

Two years later I went for the first time for a laserpuncture treatment at Dr. Bohbot’s Clinic. Right after the treatment I was able to pedal a stationary bike and my walking with braces and a walker got a little better.

Four months later I returned to the clinic for more therapy. I improved with pedaling the bike for a longer time. I could stand at the walker without braces without someone holding my back. And I felt overall stronger and was able to do more things at ease when at school.

A year later I went back to France  for three weeks again. After that treatment I noticed that I was able to stand up with the walker without someone helping me up. Everything else got stronger and my sensation became better on my stomach. At home I continued pedaling a stationary bike with some resistance.

After going another two times to France my standing at the walker without braces became better. And the last time I was there I started to walk with the walker only with little assistance on holding my knees. Also, my muscles in my lower back and in my hips seem much stronger now. The tightness in my back goes away while I do the therapy. Overall, I benefit a lot from this therapy and I become a lot happier because the atmosphere is so nice at the Clinic.
