May 4, 2010 – Newark, DE, – Certified personal trainer and strength coach Joe Dowdell is one of the most highly sought-after fitness experts in the world. He is the founder and co-owner of Peak Performance in New York City, which was voted one of the “Top 10 Gyms in America” by Men’s Health Magazine and is renowned for catering to a clientele of celebrities, elite athletes, models, and musicians. Joe has authored numerous articles on health and fitness and his new book Ultimate You will be released on May 11 through Rodale Press. As an NSCA certified strength and conditioning specialist, Dowdell’s career requires him to be extremely active and fit, and his cumulative onset of chronic pain in his rotator cuff and trigger point pain in his right shoulder was becoming a hindrance to his own training. After receiving therapy laser treatments from Dr. Perry Nickelston, owner of Pain Laser Center in Ramsey, NJ, Dowdell was back to training, pain-free.
Dr. Perry Nickelston is a Chiropractic Sports Physician whose primary focus is on performance enhancement and corrective exercise and metabolic fitness nutrition. He trained at the American College of Addictionology and Compulsive Disorders and is an expert in myofascial, orthopedic, medical, and trigger point soft tissue therapy. Dr. Nickelston’s practice uses class IV deep tissue laser therapy to alleviate pain; to treat Dowdell’s shoulder pain he used the LiteCure LCT-1000 laser.
Dr. Nickelston has a unique treatment program that begins with an evaluation of pain and includes four to ten visits with LiteCure laser treatments as an integral component to healing. He says, “My treatment programs are unique to each client but because I combine laser treatment with other physical therapy and exercises. Clients notice a difference and improvement in their body within four visits.”
Joe Dowdell’s situation was no different. “I know Dr. Perry [as his clients refer to him] from the fitness industry and his ability to assess and understand the cause of my pain and then successfully treat it was awesome. After the first [of three] laser treatment, I felt significantly better and experienced no shoulder pain even while training.”
Dr. Nickelston uses the LCT-1000 so that he can help clients—which include a number of athletes—recover faster, feel better, and perform better. He says, “I am passionate about fitness, and the benefits of laser treatments with my integrated therapy program allow me to help clients get where they want to go.”
