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.

My previous job required doing repetitive tasks using my shoulder. I started feeling pain in my shoulder 15 years ago, but ignored it.When I first came for Laser Treatments, I had lots of pain and didn't have full range of motion. The third treatment made the difference. The pain was almost gone. By the last treatment, there was full range of motion and no pain. My life is much better now!
The treatments were good and the people at LaserHealth® Solutions treated me very well. I will definitely recommend Laser Therapy to everyone I know.
Have a running event that you MUST complete, even though you're injured
All of the above
…then you need Dr. Rob, his dedicated team and Laser Therapy.
I successfully completed the Vancouver Marathon on May 6, 2007 in four hours and 15 minutes WHILE INJURED thanks to Laser Therapy. Amazingly, the injury only bothered me during the final four miles, which is incredible considering that I was barely walking properly four months ago.
I had commited to running the marathon on behalf of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, had… View the whole post
“I have been suffering from osteoarthritis in my upper spine for many years.And in 2001 I discovered that I also had osteoporosis.Since then the pain increased to the point that I could not stand up preparing my meals without excruciating pain.
When I heard about the LaserHealth® Solution, I wanted to try it.After only 5 treatments I have no more pain at all.My upper back feels so normal again.
I highly recommend the laser treatment to anyone who suffers back pain or any pain they are having.I am very surprised at how well and how fast it worked for me.”
“I am 53 years old, average weight and exercise daily. I have been diagnosed by my doctor with osteoarthritis in my right knee. I was seeking something to help relieve the pain when I go up or down the stairs or when I have to sit or stand. I had tried accupuncture, chiro and the exercises the Doctor gave me and they were not helping. I was listening to the 770 radio station and I had heard Blaine and Dr. Rob talking about Laser Therapy, so I made an appointment. After making my appointment, I changed my mind and called to cancel my appointment while I decided which alternative therapy I would try. Blaine… View the whole post
“A serious car accident in 1996 left me with chronic shoulder pain, mainly on my right side. Exercise, stretching on a daily basis did not eliminate the pain. Eventually the pain increased starting in my neck and moving down my arm. I was unable to lift grocery bags or raise my arm over my head. After the laser treatments I have definitely had increased mobility on my right side, and have NO pain down my arm!”
I had extreme pain in my right elbow joint. I was very skeptical about the method of treatment but was willing to try anything to reduce the level of pain. After the first two or three treatments I did not notice any significant change but later on there were substantial changes in the level of pain. I think I had only ten treatments and since then my elbow has been pain free.
“I met Drs. Rob and YY at the “2005 Vancouver Wellness Show'. It was there that I first learned about Laser Therapy and asked whether laser would help the arthritis in my knees. My knees were so sore I had a hard time going up and down stairs. I could not bend over to tie my shoe laces. I had difficulty getting in and out of my car and out of my easy chair. After the first laser treatment I could feel the difference. Now I've had ten treatments and I am very pleased.I can walk up and down stairs, get in and out of my car, tie my shoes and stand when sitting in my chair as a normal person again. I would have to say I am 99% better.
Several years ago I suffered fairly severe damage to my right shoulder. After several years of therapy the shoulder, although considerably better, still was very uncomfortable. Dr. YY suggested I try Laser Therapy. After three sessions most of the pain dissipated and my shoulder is pretty well pain free. I am now playing golf pain free!
“After a car accident in which I was involved, I got a very sore neck. Dr. Rob recommended a laser treatment. After one session, all the pain and inflammation disappeared. Based on this, I decided to apply the same treatment to my tendonitis in my right wrist. After three or four sessions, the improvement was obvious. The pain disappeared, and now I am able to use my arm/wrist/hand"
I had a fall in November 1997 in which I injured my dominant wrist (right). There were no broken bones but the ligaments were torn.I had no choice but to use my left hand for as much as possible.
After a while I became quite proficient being a lefty and although my wrist was healing well, I was very protective of it. By mid 1998 I noticed that my left elbow was beginning to ache by the end of each day. It continued to get worse and I began to force myself to be right hand dominant again.It wasn't long before the right elbow began to hurt as well.
