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.

“I injured my back in 1993 while helping a friend move a large desk down a flight of stairs. Since then I've sought treatment from my family doctor, back specialists, massage therapists and chiropractors. While chiropractic provided me with the best relief, the mid to upper area of my back has remained in almost constant pain.
Over a month ago Dr. Rob Skleryk suggested I try Laser Therapy. Now in the world of skeptics I consider myself no slouch, so the notion of lasers blasting away my pain seemed unreal.
I didn't particularly notice any change immediately, but over the week as the three treatments were completed I felt a strange… View the whole post
At the age of 16 months, I received 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns to my right leg from very hot water. I‘ve grown up with very visible scars but thankfully don‘t remember the incident. By age 9, I needed skin grafting to release the tightness of skin near my toes.
Drs. Rob and YY told me about the low intensity Laser Therapy and told me to give it a try, even though my scar is 24 years old. I noticed some changes after the first treatment and it has continued to improve each time. The skin around my graft is smoother and has more pigment. I've also had heightened awareness to hot and cold on the top of my foot. The skin… View the whole post
After helping someone move an old piano, I injured my right shoulder. I had previously hurt this shoulder a number of years ago in a car accident. The pain was comparable to when I first injured my shoulder in that car accident. Back then it took about 8 months of physio before the pain subsided. After 6 treatments of laser, I was virtually pain free and now I have had no problems with my shoulder at all.
I would highly recommend this procedure to anyone!!
“I sustained a torn ligament to my right shoulder approximately 10 years ago. I received 24 sessions of physio therapy to no avail. My medical doctor gave me one injection of cortisone in my shoulder and the relief only lasted one month. My shoulder has caused me pain ever since, gradually worsening, to the point that I was forced to retire from my job as a carpenter. I could not lift my arm to work above shoulder height.
After 8 laser treatments, the pain disappeared and I have not had any reaccurance.
“As a competitive athlete, my body is put through many serious physical and mental situations during training. Injury after injury, I know longer could ignore the fact that my body was in such a state of pain, that I made my first appointment with Dr. Rob Skleryk of the Panoramic Village Chiropractic Clinic.
I must admit, my first thought was, ”Hey Doc, fix me up and get me back out there”. I quickly came to realize that this would not be my true resolve, but that I required a serious break allowing my body the time to heal correctly. Due to vertebral subluxations and soft tissue strains, I was in dismay,… View the whole post
“I twisted my right foot, dislocating my ankle and severing the ligaments. My surgeon re-attached the ligaments and put a cast on my leg. He told me that I could expect to regain about 50% of previous maneuverability.
I was in a cast for seven weeks. When it was removed, my foot was swollen and I was in constant pain. My ankle felt as if it had been glued into place, unable to move in any direction although I was able to wiggle my toes.
After a week of steady pain, I started laser treatments. The first treatment considerably lessened the swelling, which in turn helped eliminate the incessant throbbing. Three subsequent treatments… View the whole post
I have been a patient of Dr. YY & Dr. Rob for many years and they have helped me with my injuries and maintain my health after a head on collision in 1992. I was doing fabulous. About 3 to 4 months ago I injured my left arm and right finger. My left arm healed but my right index finger had a nagging pain I could not get rid of. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 good - 10 bad), it was an 11. So under the instructions of my own physician, I taped it for several months and iced it but nothing helped. YY and Rob suggested laser, but I felt I couldn't afford it. But I realized I couldn't afford not too! After the first treatment, not much difference. The… View the whole post
“On a nice summer day of August 2004, I was doing some light yard work when I reached to pick some fruit and felt a tear across my lower back. The pain was intense. I could barely move. I layed on my lawn for 7 hours until Dr. Rob and a few other recruits lifted me to my living room. Recovery time was very important to me as my wife's grandfather's funeral was only 2 days away. With Dr. Rob's laser treatment, my healing time was unbelievable! I was able to attend the funeral and was back to work on time. After 5 treatments and some other rehab, I now feel fine. Thank you, Dr. Rob and Dr. YY.”
“Had a stretched Achilles tendon (right leg). Very painful in walking or going up stairs. After first two treatments could resume playing sports (baseball). Was a slight set back temporarily. Took two more treatments the following week and recovered to original level and proceeded to fully recover enough to resume sports, running, etc. to where I am now.”
“After completing a walking half marathon the next day I had a very, very sore backside with an intense shooting pain down my thigh. It was an inflamed piriformis which is a muscle in your buttocks which pressed on my Sciatic Nerve. Whenever I sat it was extremely uncomfortable. I would squirm to find a position that I could bear. There were times I went from the sitting to standing positions and I was totally immobilized. I tried waiting out the injury, Tylenol, ibuprofen, ice and heat. Nothing seemed to lessen the pain. I eventually had 3 treatments of low intensity laser and the pain was gone. I could not believe it! After a month of pain… View the whole post
