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.
If you have insurance benefits which allow you to see a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), you can claim reimbursement for Laser Health Solutions treatments when you see one of our RMTs. If you have any of the following insurance and are able to see a Manual Osteopathic Therapist (DMO), you are able to claim reimbursement when treated by one of our osteopaths: Blue Cross, Desjardins, Empire Life, Equitable Life, Great West Life, Canada Life, Greenshield, Manulife or Sunlife.

“When I first came for treatments I was in a lot of pain. This is to be expected after knee replacement surgery. However, I am very sensitive to drugs, even Tylenol. Laser treatments helped me sleep at night. Swelling of the knee went down and eventually walking became easier; and I am living without drugs.
I found that Laser treatments are the least invasive, compared to Physiotherapy and acupuncture. While my treatment program was comparatively lengthy it was the most helpful to keep me pain free and mobile.
I can recommend Laser treatments to people with arthritis after surgery who wish to live without drugs. I was not… View the whole post
My left shoulder was very sore. It woke me up at night in agony. I had seen my doctor about the pain in my shoulder and he thought that it was from my rotator cuff and said that I should ice it.
I saw the LaserHealth® Solutions ad in the Newspaper and the words Shoulder Pain jumped out at me. I never take alternative treatments ever but I decided to give it a try. After four treatments, I feel wonderful. I am not conscious of my arm during the day and I can sleep through the night now!
“I broke my collar bone last July 4, 2008 while riding my motorcycle. X-ray report showed comminuted fracture of the clavicle. Swelling and pain were present and I had to wear a shoulder sling to help keep my arm immobile. My work involved me to do a lot of lifting and because of my injury they had to re-assign me to an easier workload.
I was going for Laser therapy at the South Clinic for my thumb even before I broke my clavicle. When I came for my treatment for my thumb after the injury, the therapist immediately decided to do Laser as well for my clavicle to help heal it faster. I am a very active person and it was hard for me… View the whole post
Carrie sprained her ankle telemark skiing in early January and kept skiing on it until March. It had become very sore so after seven months of dysfunction she decided to come in to LaserHealth® Solutions for Laser Therapy.
The treatments helped kick start the ankle injury to heal which was taking its time. Without Laser Therapy I am sure that it would have taken another six months. I am now closer to getting back to my active lifestyle.
“I was lifting with another person when they let go of their end causing myself to stretch in an awkward manor.The resulting pain intensified over a period of days until I could no longer find comfort no matter what I tried, including pain killers.
I was becoming desperate for some relief and contacted a chiropractor who snapped my neck and back a few times with some relief,however I still couldn‘t ride my motorcycle or do a fair days work.
I then contacted LaserHealth® and began treatment.The result is that within a two week period I could finally put in a fair days work as well as throw my leg over my… View the whole post
“I had injured my shoulder on January 15th of 2008 and began physiotherapy and chiropractic treatments for it until April 2008.By June I decided to start laser treatments and was put on a program of 2 times a week for 10 treatments.After every treatment my pain decreased, and by July I was able to cut down to 1 treatment a week for 4 more treatments.Now the majority of the pain in my shoulder is gone and any pain that I do experience disappears much quicker than before.Laser therapy has been a tool to speed up my shoulder healing and an extra blessing from the Lord for me.”
After 4-5 years of joint pain in my left elbow after golf and only 2 to 3 Laser therapy sessions, my pain is gone. I've golfed twice since then and my condition hasn't returned.
I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis approximately 15 years and was told the treatment for this was surgery. I opted not to have the surgery and lived with the pain. However, over the years it became progressively worse. I could no longer wear my nice dress shoes (high heels). I shopped and shopped for different angled high heels but after only wearing them for 2-3 minutes, it was back to being painful again.
I attended a health awareness clinic and saw a brochure on plantar fascia treatments by Laser. That caught my attention. I contacted the treatment facility and began treatments in less than a week. On my 9th… View the whole post
Three years ago I was hospitalized for severe pain I was experiencing in my lower back. After one week in the hospital I was sent home with many pain meds that didn't help. I tried physio and after five sessions, I thought I was healed only to be back at square one. Desperate to find alternative help, I searched the internet and came across LaserHealth® Solutions. I sent an e-mail and soon had an appointment, after my first session I felt instant relief. I am so grateful.
Laser Therapy really helped in the mobility of my knee. I have been able to enjoy long walks, and have pain-free golf games! Laser Therapy is the best therapy I have ever had as it has alleviated all the stiffness and pain in my knee. Jolaine
