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'm a 57-year-old female who has suffered from knee pain for at least the past five years, which has become progressively worse. I've tried sports therapy and been prescribed anti-inflammatory pills by my doctor, but nothing has worked. When I heard about LaserHealth® Solutions through a business colleague who was using the procedure for an injury, I called to see if the procedure would help my knee problems.
Admittedly, at first I was somewhat skeptical, but after a consult, I decided to try the procedure and was pleased to find that after only three treatments, the swelling in my knees was down significantly and I experienced a… View the whole post
After almost a year of pain from Tennis Elbow and not wanting to take drugs or have surgery, I decided to try Laser Therapy. After my second treatment, the pain was almost gone and the third treatment removed all the pain.
“My knee problem (osteoarthritis) was definitely not helping my golf game to a point at seventy years of age.I was sure my main hobby in retirement was near an end.Through a friend, a golf associate who was attending LaserHealth® Solutions, he said, give it a try, and I am glad I did.After six to seven treatments my knee felt much better, with swelling reduced and feeling much better, by 50-60 %.The staff at the clinic are courteous and I am booking tee times again; thanks to LaserHealth® Solutions.”
I had a frozen shoulder since November 24 and after trying pain killers and physiotherapy for several months, it didn't seem to improve; other than to relax the tightened muscles for a couple of hours after treatment. I tried Ibuprofen, which didn't agree with me. I thought about acupuncture and was going to make an appointment when I heard about Laser treatment from a co-worker. I made an appointment to try it and after about 4 treatments I noticed I had better mobility, but still had pain and was taking Tylenol. I have now had about 8 or 9 treatments and have less pain and a lot better mobility. I'm not quite perfect yet, but I will… View the whole post
My daughter started suffering about 3 years ago with extreme heel pain. We took her to our doctor, sports clinic and finally Children's Hospital. We where told that she had Plantar Fasciitis and that there wasn't much we could do for our then 9 year old. She couldn't continue dancing, running or just walking as it was causing flare-ups. She was in constant pain, at times she could barely walk. We didn't want to put her through surgery and hoped to control her flare-ups as best as we could. Then I met Dr. Rob and Dr. Y.Y. through a running group. One week they were the guest speakers and offered an info evening at their… View the whole post
I came to LaserHealth® Solutions (Vancouver) 6 weeks ago, diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff and frozen right shoulder. The condition had been present for 5 months and was causing considerable constant pain and lack of sleep. I had tried 2 different physiotherapists, acupuncture and had been seen by an orthopedic surgeon and was told nothing could be done for six months. My drive to the clinic required that I support my right elbow with a pillow to reduce the pain. One half hour after the treatment my pain was gone. I no longer require pain killers and am slowly getting more movement back. This is now my 15th treatment and am very… View the whole post
“As a 70 year old retiree, golfing was my favorite activity.Neck, shoulder and back pain make that nearly impossible.Kneading bread dough or washing a floor would result in my lying in bed with a heating pad because of the pain.
I have tried the laser method for pain and I'm excited with the results!I am now golfing, baking bread and am able to do more household chores every day.
Ten treatments made this all possible!
I'm glad that I don't need prescription pain killers any more.”
“My son Johnathan is 10 yrs old.He woke up on a Tuesday morning screaming and crying, he couldn't move his neck because it hurt so bad.This was approx 6 a.m. and I gave him neck rubs, Tylenol, Deep Cold, Myoflex, ice packs and warm packs over the next 7 hours.All this just so I could get him out of bed.Finally, around 1 p.m. he was able to sit up, and while holding his head and neck for support, he made it upstairs.I called the doctor and got an appointment for 3 p.m.We saw the doctor but there wasn't a physio available.My doctor suggested the chiropractor.I couldn't see anyone in White Rock, so I drove… View the whole post
“After suffering a painful injury to my left foot, I was unable to continue training for my year end gymnastics meet in Kelowna. After 10 days of being on crutches my parents brought me for laser treatments. I had a huge difference in my foot after one week and I was able to continue training again. Three weeks after my first treatment I competed pain free in the meet in Kelowna, where I finished first in the floor exercises and fifth overall.
The laser treatment got me back into competition faster then I could have imagined.”
Low Intensity Laser Therapy has been a Godsend! Unlike my first encounter with Plantar Fasciitis, which lasted over a 3-year period, I have experienced a great deal of relief with Laser Therapy. And after only 6 treatments. I would highly recommend laser treatments to anyone who wishes to return to their normal level of functioning. Laser, stretching and ice have worked wonders in getting me back on track.
