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.

“I had an inaugural hernia repaired in October of 5.I was left with a scar 4” long that was fairly red, puffy sore and noticed a loss of feeling in the area in general.There were lots and lots of bruising in the lower stomach area as well.My doctor had me on Oxycontin for the pain.I rather not take this type of medication if I can avoid it.I had 6 laser treatments over the course of 3 weeks, and saw a marked increase in the nerve sensation with a complete elimination of the pain and numbness.I generally felt more confident in using my left leg after the treatments.Running was no problem at all.Great job LaserHealth® Solutions!”
I am 70 years old. When I was 15, I injured my right knee. At the age of 6, I began to experience pain in the knee. For 7-8 years, it was not too severe and I could manage with it. However, for the past 2 or 3 years, it has been worsening to the point that walking became a bit of an ordeal. I tried taking Tylenol for arthritis, but it was not much help. A friend with a similar problem mentioned laser treatments and said they had helped. So I booked in for 6 treatments. They really did help to increase flexibility and reduce pain. The relief eventually diminishes (there is no permanent cure) but lasts for at least a month.… View the whole post
