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 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.

“In August 2006, I pinched my rotator cuff. It was the most excruciating pain I had ever experienced in my right shoulder. Being a female fielder that can throw, I needed my arm ready to go for the next season.
The following month, I sought the medical attention of a Chiropractor, who just happens to be a friend and she hooked me up with treatments which included exercises and microcurrent. The four months of treatments were working phenomenally! Ball season for me starts in February and after the first tournament my shoulder was not feeling so good. It seemed I had taken 2 steps back when I had made so much progress.
My pain started just over 2 years ago when I was rear ended in a car accident. I had lower back pain and pain all the way down my left leg into my feet. I have seen doctors, neurologists, acupuncturist and a chiropractor. I have had physio, massage therapy and a personal trainer with no relief of pain. I have had X-rays, CT scan and an MRI that revealed sciatica and soft tissue injury resulting in a shortened hamstring. I have asked all doctors for something for pain relief, I was told to take only Advil. So I took that for 2 years till I had holes in my stomach then they switched me to Extra Strength Tylenol of which I had to take 8… View the whole post
“In November of 2006 I was diagnosed as having two torn ligaments in my shoulder. They were very painful and at times unbearable. Having discussed the situation with both my family doctor and rheumatologist I was told that the only resolution that would be of any value was surgery.
Given that the affected hand (my left one) is my only good hand having lost use of my right side after suffering a paralytic stroke in 1995, I was very concerned as surgery would mean that I would not be able to do anything for myself for at least a few months until my left shoulder has healed.
I am a 54-year-old avid golfer who golfs approximately 4 rounds a year. I've had plantar fasciitis for over 3 years and have tried every therapy known to man for my foot. I was unable to walk the golf course until I started treatments at LaserHealth® Solutions. After my treatments I was finally able to walk 18 holes without pain!
I first came to LaserHealth® Solutions not quite understanding what Laser Therapy could do for me. But after my consultation, I went for my first treatment without hesitation. Before coming for treatments, my shoulders were so bad it was a challenge to put my shirt on. I couldn't do any overhead movements.
That gradually changed and now I have a 90% improvement! My range of motion is much better. Both shoulders are more flexible and there is much less pain.
I will definitely recommend to others that they try Laser Therapy.
“I have had chronic pain from plantar fascitiis for years now.I have seen podiatrists, pedorthists and physiotherapists and nothing had relieved my pain.I have tried 2 different sets of orthotics and still no relief.Now in a few short weeks, I have seen tremendous results and I am feeling less pain.I am now in the position where I can start to think about doing some of the physical activities that I would not have thought about doing in the past couple of years because of the pain.
I cannot thank Dr. Rob and his team enough for their competent, professional and very friendly conduct and the way they have improved my quality of life.”
“I fell down the stairs at home and broke my ankle in December '06. I was told to go to physiotherapy by the orthopedic surgeon who performed the operation. I was receiving 3 treatments a week at the physio and was in a lot of pain, in fact the pain got worse with every visit. I noticed the puffiness (swelling) in my ankle wasn't getting any better; in fact the treatments seemed to aggravate my ankle. My wife saw an ad in the local paper for “LaserHealth® Solutions” so I phoned and made an appointment to see Dr. Skleryk who recommended 2 sessions a week. After just one treatment the pain was reduced by half. It was… View the whole post
I had pain in my lower back for 3 years. It affected my leg and knee also. My wife suggested I try Laser Therapy. After the second treatment I felt relief and my leg and knee were more flexible. I took 10 treatments and am free from pain. My medical doctor said he didn't believe in it, but noted everything I said about it when I told him of the results. I will have a treatment monthly to try to keep the pain under control. The pain in my back is caused by arthritis and disc degeneration in the lower part of my lumbar spine.
I had trouble getting up and moving in the morning. I walk to and from work and sit at a computer most of my day
I read about Laser Therapy in the community news paper and spoke to Dr Lee at the Wellness Show.
I decided to try this to see if it would help.
I have found the pain subsiding with every treatment. I am happy to say that I have not had any pain since my last treatment on April 16th. I am now going on to another area that has been bothering me and looking forward to having a pain-free body.
I would recommend this treatment to anyone who has tried other methods without success.
