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.

“I have osteoarthritis in my left knee. It was bothering me for almost five years. The doctor said that I may need a knee replacement soon. I was popping Tylenol and Ibuprophen like candy and my doctor was concerned that this was not good for my long term health. I asked her about Laser Therapy and she did not know much about it but suggested that I give it a try. After ten treatments on my right knee I am pretty much pain free. I started to feel quite good after about the third treatment I have not had a need for any pain medication in over a year. Now I am able to walk, go to my exercise classes at Curves, and even dance at… View the whole post
My right elbow had been bothering me while playing tennis since September. I tried icing and stretching for about 6 months with no changes. I had been in for treatments before for tennis elbow and I knew that it worked so I decided to give it a try for my golfer's elbow. There were not really any changes at first but now after 7 treatments I am at least 90% improved. I know it works and will be back for more treatments if I need them.
I suffered through a year of pain with a rotator cuff injury. Acupuncture and massage did not seem to remedy the injury. The Laser Therapy was very successful. After a month of therapy I was able to sleep through the night. The range of mobility is almost back to 100%. I was also impressed with the friendly and professional service provided by all members of the organization. All personnel were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. They knew their clients and there were no long waits for service even on the busy days.
“I have Osteoporosis.Have been in severe pain.Could hardly walk.Have tried everything.Been to doctors, specialists and physiotherapists in the past.I've had 10 treatments.No pain.Can walk again.Very happy with my treatments.”
“Having been a commercial traveler for forty years and having driven in excess of one and a half million miles it is no surprise that the long hours spent behind a steering wheel and climbing in and out of a car had an adverse effect on my back.During that time I had various treatments to alleviate the constant ache in my back but these only gave temporary relief. However after reading an advertisement on LaserHealth® Solutions I decided to take treatment and as a result my stature has improved and the misery I experienced from lower backache has all but disappeared.Since I am well into my eighties now it is needless to say that it is a pleasure to be able to walk without pain.”
Before I started my treatments my back was so sore I could not get up and answer my phone before the answering machine picked it up after 4 rings. Getting out of bed in the morning was really tough and painful.
The Laser treatments made a 100% difference. The service was always a pleasant occurrence and always on time. I will refer them to all my friends in pain.
In July 27, after a day at the Calgary Stampede, I developed a mild pain in my left heel. Throughout the summer this pain persisted and got steadily worse until I could no longer take my outdoor walks, and the pain was causing me to lose sleep. In November, I visited an orthopedic doctor who diagnosed my problem as Plantar Fasciitis. As I already wore orthotics, these were changed as the old ones were worn out. With new orthotics and a program of stretching exercises, I looked for improvement, but the pain only got worse. The answer was a cortisone injection which worked like a miracle… for a couple of days, but the… View the whole post
Since my car accident in September 23, I've done every kind of treatment for my whiplash in the neck and shoulders : massages, physiotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic and even cranial sacral therapy. But my pain actually got worse as years passed and my headaches grew more frequent and so painful that I would be nauseous and debilitated almost everyday. It hurt to stand, sit and lay down. But since I've started the Laser treatments, my headaches have been reduced by probably 90% on frequency and in pain level. I also have been using a hot pack on my neck every night before but I haven't had to use one since I've started here! It's… View the whole post
After 15 visits in this clinic, I've experienced a lot of relief from pain on my Right knee which I've had for so many years now. I can move my knee better since there is less pain. I would recommend this treatment to anybody with soft tissue injury.
For the past two years my right shoulder has been hurting. Chiropractic treatment helped but not completely and when I stopped seeing the chiropractor on a regular basis the pain came back and quickly became unbearable. Not wanting to get a cortisone shot or have surgery or be dependant on medication I thought I'd try Laser Therapy. I have been very happy with the results.
