The Calgary clinic opened in 2004 and has successfully treated thousands of people for conditions such as tendonitis, sciatica, cervical and shoulder injuries, tennis elbow, low back pain, TMJ syndrome, plantar fasciitis, sports injuries and arthritis. Treatments are a combination of laser therapy and manual therapy.
Laser therapy is proven to help reduce or eliminate inflammation. Light photons are deeply absorbed by soft tissue, stimulating physiological effects necessary to healing. It is a painless, noninvasive therapy which can help restore normal cell function and enhance the body’s healing processes.
The manual work provided by the therapists includes Manual Osteopathic Therapy, Somatics, Onsen® Therapy and Massage Therapy Techniques. These are used to assess and correct structural and functional imbalances. Improved musculoskeletal balance means the reduction or elimination of pain, an increased range of motion and the release of entrapped nerves or trigger points.
The cost is $131+GST per visit. An assessment is included in the first visit at no extra charge and each visit takes just under an hour. You are one-on-one with the therapist the whole time. You won't just be receiving laser therapy. Laser therapy is an important part of the treatment because of its ability to reduce or eliminate inflammation and speed up the healing process. The manual therapy is just as important because these techniques deal with the structural and muscular reasons why the pain and inflammation started. Laser Health Solutions has developed a unique therapy program using Osteopathic techniques, Laser Therapy, Somatics, and Massage Therapy that you won't find anywhere else. On average, only ten treatments are needed.

As a pianist, I would practice rigorously for extended periods of time in order to meet the demands of the profession. Eventually, the stress and physical intensity gave me inflammation in my left elbow. After trying several rehab therapies (ie: accupuncture, massage therapy, etc.), I found Laser Therapy to be the most effective. Treatments enabled me to progress from not being able to play at all, to giving a full Masters recital in 6 weeks. The approach is painless and deals specifically to heal injuries internally, therefore significantly accelerating the recovery process. I find this to be a highly effective solution for a diverse range of cases and people.
“I came to LaserHealth® Solutions complaining about right shoulder pain that gradually developed over a 4 week period. I was having difficultly with raising my arm above my head and lying on my right side at night would keep me up when sleeping. I tried to fix the problem by taking Advil, which only temporally relieved the problem. I listened to the Doctors and the Laser Therapists and started icing and using the Traumeel that was prescribed to me. After my 5th laser treatment I noticed some improvement. I had a total of 10 treatments and now I can happily report that I am 100% better and I can get a decent nights sleep… View the whole post
“On December 2, 2007 I was in a car accident and ended up injuring my right shoulder. I soon found it difficult to sleep at night because of the pain from lying on my shoulder. I love my grand kids and soon found it very difficult to lift them up without my shoulder hurting.
My wife had some laser treatment at LaserHealth® Solutions and so I thought I would give it a try. After a series of 16 treatments the healing in my shoulder has been remarkable. I am not 100%, but at about 80%. I am able to sleep at night and most importantly I am able to pick up my grand kids without hesitation. My shoulder is less tender and my mobility… View the whole post
I had physiotherapy and acupuncture done before but was not satisfied. I read that LLLT could help my conditions and solve the problem. I was looking for a non-bandage solution. After 11 sessions my finger didn't stick as badly and I was able to move it. The pain in my knee was gone while moving and walking.
I would recommend laser, as it gets to the root cause and helps the body heal itself.
“Thanks to Laser Therapy, my elbow is cured after 5 sessions.I don‘t have to live with the pain in my left elbow every morning when I wake up.I have tried for 1 year to get well with acupuncture, Chiropractic, Chinese remedies, but without any success.
“Last September, I was playing baseball and threw out my arm and couldn't throw for the last season.I was referred here by a friend and decided to try it out.
It worked great and I am starting to be able to throw again like it used to be.I haven't felt this good with my arm since I threw it out last year, and I've only gone through 3 weeks of treatments.
I highly recommend Laser Therapy and it has definitely saved my baseball career.”
“As a management consultant I do a lot of computer related work including extensive time preparing presentations to communicate Business and IT Solutions to my clients and for business development purposes.
Ironically, to avoid a carpal tunnel wrist injury my ”ergonomic position” resulted in a chronic shoulder injury. At times I could hardly lift my right arm without significant pain. I sought medical advice and it came in the form of x-rays, medicated lotions, extensive physiotherapy and steroid injections. After three years it became manageable but never disappeared off my ”pain radar… View the whole post
“My right foot was bothering me and it was getting worse.I saw the ad in the local paper and decided that I should look into Laser Therapy a bit more.After receiving laser treatments I noticed that my foot was getting better.Now with custom orthotics I'm able to work with no pain and I am now able to take my dog on long walks.”
“I am 43 years old and my body felt like I was 83. In 1998 I injured my left knee while playing basketball. Later that year I had to have orthroscopic knee surgery to fix some torn cartilage. Subsequently, I suffered with pain on and off for ten years. The last few years however the pain was getting worse. I was having problems with walking and standing. And my knee was very painful with just getting up from a chair. I had to wear a knee brace to help stabilize and protect my knee. My family doctor injected a lubricant into my knee, which only gave me temporary relief for two weeks. That is when I found out about low intensity Laser… View the whole post
