Advanced Laser Therapy and Wellness - Dr. Brian Harasha

Fantastic experience: Went to Dr. Harasha after learning I had a C5 compression causing a nerve impingement. I was suffering from numbness in my hand and severe shoulder pain with pain radiating down my arm as well and after my second decompression/laser therapy all pain had gone away. I’m in my 9th out of 10 treatments and I have to say I feel I’m at about 90% and am confident even after my treatments end that I will continue to heal as a result of my treatments. I Highly recommended anyone who is having a similar issue to try him out. My doctor recommended going to a pain clinic and getting a steroid injection directly into my spine under X-ray. Which may have temporarily helped with the inflammation but would not have helped with the underlying condition. Which I feel the decompression therapy has done. And coupled with the advanced laser treatments to reduce the inflammation and kickstart the healing process. All that being said I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a caring chiropractor who actually takes the time to get to know you and your lifestyle to help develop a comprehensive treatment plan for your issues

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dr. Harascha due to severe back pain resulting from an auto accident. All of the staff I have interacted with at Brentwood Center of Health since my accident have been completely devoted to getting my body back to form. Dr. Harascha has exhibited the utmost in knowledge & professionalism in addressing the back trauma I incurred from my auto accident. I expressed my preference that surgery be the last option for treatment, & the regime & care put into action by Dr. Harascha have been nothing short of wonderful in helping me return to form.

Fantastic experience: After receiving frustrating news about an auto immune condition from multiple specialist visits, I scheduled an appointment to see Dr. Harasha. The specialist told me steroid treatment was my only option and I had to live with the condition for the rest of my life. Brian took the time to describe how the laser would alleviate my symptoms and possibly get rid of them all together. After 10 visits, my condition is not noticeable and I've had no flare ups after I concluded treatments. I am thankful and relieved!

Fantastic experience: I am a 75 year old retired environmental engineer. Two of my pastimes include hiking and skiing. In late fall of 2021 I was struck almost immobile with two impinged nerves, one involving the sciatica nerve. The pain in my left leg was so severe that I was that I was unable to walk without intense pain. I had to sleep in a chair. My GP doctor prescribed pain medications with little or no relief. I was next referred to a pain clinic. They performed ultrasound guided spinal injection which provided some relief for about three days. Finally my GP recommended I see Dr. Brian Harasha. I had never seen a chiropractor before and I was somewhat skeptical. However Dr. B’s laser treatments was nothing less than a miracle. My pain was significantly reduced after just four visits. And completing a full 10 week course of treatment, I was ready for physical therapy. Dr. Harasha referred me to the in-house physical therapist Sean. This therapy was also outstanding and requires a separate review. Needless to say, I highly recommend Dr. Brian Harasha. Michael C.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Harasha's approach to therapy is personalized and thorough. I know that I am in great hands there. His staff is also very helpful, and they always make things easy. I feel better after every visit.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Brian Harasha and Davena at Advanced Laser Therapy and Wellness are beyond amazing. Compassionate, empathetic, easy to talk to, and relate exceptionally well; immediately making me feel very comfortable and at ease. They listen, ask the right questions, take their time, and are honest. It’s rare to find a doctor duo who combine such personal touches for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of care. Brian and Devena show genuine concern and true commitment to relieve my back and neck pain. They give me hope, and I am so grateful for them.

Fantastic experience: Brian is amazing. I saw him for years & years and he cured me of really debilitating migraines. So thoughtful & kind, with amazing bedside manner. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: What a great team at the facility. With PT and now Dr. Harasha's program, I'm finally seeing physical progress. Being athletic, physically active with my job and then having that all come to a halt after my accident is frustrating and debilitating to say the least. Customizing a program for me including - laser therapy, decompression, functional / mobility therapies - has been amazing relief for my spinal / neck pain and discomfort, and helping with mobility, strength and stamina. Super accommodating team and convenient location.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Brian Harasha for about a year. He has helped me tremendously. I first saw Dr Brian for multiple arthritic conditions, my lumbar spine, my shoulders and both wrists. He has treated me over time using multiple techniques including laser therapy on all areas, traction on my lumbar spine and chiropractic adjustments on my back and neck. The results are ongoing and impressive. I can't expect to go from age 65 backward to pre-arthritis after decades of sports (back injury), working out (shoulder injuries) and power yoga (wrists), but he improved my quality of life tremendously. I am now able to do what I need to do and want to do, with far less pain. He cured my left wrist as it wasn't too far gone, and my right is improving slowly. My shoulders are improving too. My back is now something I can manage with his help and his work is keeping me away from the surgery I was headed for. I highly recommend Dr. Harasha. He is knowledgeable, interested and caring. The office is super convenient to most areas in STL, and plus, he plays great music :)

Fantastic experience: A great treatment plan that really works for me. I suggest Dr. Brian Harasha to all of my friends with TMJ or tension, and even sinus migraines. Always helpful. We do laser therapy and chiro. Once I had a terrible migraine and we did acupuncture. He studied laser therapy and chiro with Logan and is so helpful! He has other assessment skills too.

Fantastic experience: Was referred to Dr. Harasha by another chiropractor who was not able to correct my TMJ. He provided laser therapy with adjustments twice a week for 6 weeks. The pain and popping I had experienced for over a year was gone. Highly recommend, very professional, knowledgeable. Great office staff as well. If I didn't live so far away I'd be back all the time. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent care. GOOD BEDSIDE MANOR AND STATE OF THE ART TREATMENT. STAFF VERY CONSIDERATE AND VERY LITTLE WAITING TIME IF ANY. STRONGLY RECOMMEND DR.HARASHA

Fantastic experience: If only the cold laser treatment Dr. Harasha has used to for my chronic muscle pains had been available sooner! I could have saved myself a few decades of frequent inability to walk much. But I've found it now, and I'm walking half an hour a day on steep hills because of it. And when I had stem cell repair done on two torn tendons, the healing progressed twice as fast as I expected. Okay, we're not quite in magic wand territory here, but I am mighty impressed! Dr. Harasha combined the laser treatment with chiropractic manipulation. I've had almost fifty years of experience with chiropractic care, but I've never consulted a chiropractor who had such a broad mastery of techniques. I'm nudging eighty, and I can't claim my body is the well oiled machine of a teenager, but it's still motoring along--with the good doctor's help.

Fantastic experience: My doctor recommended finding laser therapy in my area. I found Dr Harasha and his knowledge and expertise as well as quality equipment make him superior to others in the area.

Fantastic experience: I came here to see Dr. Brian Harasha for a chiropractic appointment. When he was done, I was more relaxed than I've been in at least a year, probably longer.

He truly takes a holistic approach using all of his experience and on-going quest for information to help his patients - evolving the treatments he uses to address your evolving needs. I could barely turn my neck left to right and after a few months I am amazed at my expanded range of motion. He has also provided me with exercises I can do at home which have been helpful in accelerating my recovery. His entire approach to patient care demonstrates compassion and a commitment to patient centered solutions in a consultative manner that keeps you informed with each step toward wellness.

Fantastic experience: Being an active person it has surprised me to develop sciatica pain. I run, do Pilates , hike, etc. But last July I came down with back pain that would not go away. It mainly affected me in the morning upon arising and could be excruciating at times with radiating pain down the back of both legs which immediately I would have to lie back down. I have been fortunate enough that it eased up during the day. I am a 64 yo woman, still working as a nurse. Like I mentioned I’m in good health with no chronic illnesses. So I stopped Pilates thinking that’s what caused the issue. It did not go away. I then tried acupuncture , physical therapy and massage . All felt great but none took away the pain. It’s not till I started laser therapy with Dr. Harasha that I found significant relief. I had forgotten what it felt like to be pain free. It’s non-invasive and only takes about 20 minutes. The price is very reasonable. I feel very fortunate that someone recommended Dr Harasha to me and I would strongly recommend him to you.

Fantastic experience: Angela B. 42 Physical Therapist and Personal Trainer I injured my back while working out and then a few days later I was involved in a car accident. I was then having neck and low back pain as well Sacroiliac pain. I had tried physical therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and cryotherapy. I received laser therapy with Dr. Harasha on my neck, low back and SI joint. I also received adjustments as needed and electrical stimulation and muscle work. I received 10 treatments and every time I felt great when I left! The treatments were usually 30-45 minutes. Dr. Harasha always catered to what I needed that day. I am pain-free now and able to resume my workouts without any issues. The office staff was always super friendly and the scheduling was easy! The entire experience was great! And Dr. Harasha was so nice and took so much time to help! Highly recommend him and this facility!

Fantastic experience: I am 70 years old. I have been seeing Dr. Brian Harasha for chronic systemic arthritic pain. Brian's laser treatments and supplement recommendations have been remarkably effective. Our family doctor prescribed a regimen for pain management that was somewhat helpful. However, adding Dr. Brian's treatments to that regimen has reduced my daily pain level to nearly nothing. I almost feel like a normal person again, and it is delightful. I have also had a problem with the nerves in my feet; I have been unable to feel the soles of my feet. Dr. Brian has been addressing this problem with laser treatments. The other day I was at Dr. Brian's office for a treatment. When Dr. Brian was finished, I got up and went to get my shoes and socks, and I suddenly realized: I could feel the texture of the carpet as I walked. It was so much more than I had expected.

Fantastic experience: TMJ Jaw problem. I was very skeptical about using a laser treatment to fix this but after consulting with an oral surgeon (very invasive procedure) I decided to try laser first. After three treatments my TMJ symptoms we're gone. A year later still no symptoms. Personally I was shocked that a laser could bring such relief.

Fantastic experience: In mid-May I stumbled and fell in my home, resulting in a comminuted fracture of the left humerus. It was a nasty break. I'm a 61-year old musician and active volunteer, and this accident sidelined me for weeks; I couldn't drive, do most of the usual household chores or play any of my instruments. It was even difficult to hold a book. I slept in a chair for the first 7 weeks of recovery due to pain upon laying down. Most nights I slept very little due to discomfort even in the chair. The recovery process was terribly slow, and I became a bit depressed. A friend and fellow musician recommended Dr. Harasha for a series of laser treatments that had relieved her own back pain. I have had 5 laser treatments so far. Since the 2nd treatment I can honestly say that my range of motion has increased rather dramatically, allowing me to once again return to most of my usual chores and to play music on a variety of instruments. The pain has greatly diminished since the laser treatments began. I certainly wish I had sought Dr. Harasha's help sooner -- perhaps my recovery would have advanced faster. The treatment itself is a painless procedure that takes place in Dr. Harasha's office at the Brentwood Center for Health. The total time required is no more than 20 minutes. The office staff is highly professional, and appointments tend to run on-time, so there isn't any waiting around. If you are experiencing pain, or a slow recovery from an injury, I hope you will consider laser treatments with Dr. Harasha.

Fantastic experience: I have very bad knees. I was going thru physical therapy for a while until my therapist suggested talking with Dr. Harasha about laser treatment. Since he healed my therapist’s broken foot, I decided to do just that. I scheduled an appt. & started my first treatment that week. In the meantime I had on the calendar for my left knee replacement the middle of June. After my first laser, my knee was feeling much better so after my second treatment I was walking my stairs normally instead of one step at a time I decided to cancel my surgery & continue my laser treatments for a few more weeks After 6 sessions, I decided to stop with the laser. So now I’m walking better without limping & doing some therapy exercises at home.

Fantastic experience: I have been dealing with De Quervain's Tendinosis for 5 years! I even had a steroid shot this year but that didn't help much. Now with the laser therapy that only takes 6 minutes or so, my hands, wrists are better! I still can't believe I have found relief after 2 visits for my right hand and 3 visits with my left hand. The whole procedure was painless and effortless. Dr. Harasha was easy to talk to and made the experience enjoyable. So much better than a steroid shot. Thank you Creative Wellness and Dr. H!

Fantastic experience: I was pretty desperate when I came to Dr. Harasha this past summer. The pain from my fissure was lingering, and intense. I was on the verge of having surgery -- something I was dreading. As a last resort, I decided to give acupuncture a try. What immediately impressed me about Dr. H ( as I call him ) was his knowledge and confidence. We talked, came up with a plan, and then attacked my health issue. Not only did my condition begin to greatly improve --- but I enjoyed visiting with Dr. H and talking / learning about all sorts of health insights. His acupuncture skills and lifestyle / food recommendations have been very beneficial. Fast forward a few months --- and he's now using a new, state-of-the-art laser on my fissure and other parts of my body. The laser is a new dynamic that really seems to have great healing powers. It's pretty empowering to work with someone this knowledgable and skillful, and so very passionate about utilizing cutting edge technology such as the laser treatments. Bottom line: Dr. H is caring, committed, and very easy to chat with. Not only that, but he spends time with you — I never feel rushed or slighted, as I have with other doctors. I have recommended Dr. H to numerous friends and family members, and would highly recommend him to those of you reading this post. My body is healing. My surgery has been avoided. And I have a great medical resource in Dr. Harasha.

Fantastic experience: Brian is very knowledgeable on how the entire body works together. I have worked with many knowledgeable chiropractors but where Brian stands out to me is explaining what he is doing and why he is doing it. It brings an added sense of comfort to the chiropractor session. Would recommend to anyone who need help!

Fantastic experience: Brian is very knowledgeable the functional medicine and listen to you.

Fantastic experience: Dr.Harasha is friendly, professional and up to date on all the latest treatments! He has helped me heal my back pain ! I highly recommend him!
