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 was told about Laser Therapy from a friend who had had it done on her neck. I had been suffering with Plantar Fasciitis in my left foot for about 5 or 6 years since I had been pregnant with my son. I saw Dr. Tova and he signed me up. I did about 12 or 13 sessions of Laser Therapy and finally after so many years I was pain free. After about a year and a half I got Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot so I did 15 sessions on that with the help of orthotics chich I had made through the office once again I was pain free! Dr. Rob and his team are an awesome group of people who really listen and try their absolute best to find a solution to your problem. Laser is easy to do and highly effective. Thanks everybody.
Hi Cheryl/Blaine/Janet: I want to relate to you the wonderful results that I have experienced as a result of undergoing your therapy.
I came to you with two very different problems: extensive soft tissue damage to my ankle as a result of a chipped bone in my foot and sciatica.
First the ankle. There was little pain while simply standing or walking, but I meditate for an hour a day and prefer to sit in full lotus for as much of that hour as possible. Before breaking my foot I could sit for 45 minutes or more. After breaking it I could not sit in lotus at all and by the time I came to your clinic I could sit only 5-1 seconds at a… View the whole post
I came to the office with lots of pain in my back and left leg due to arthritis. I was using a cane. Now after 10 treatments my pain is almost gone and I am walking without a cane.
Thank you Dr. Robert and all the staff, they were very friendly and helpful.
“I had pain in my shoulder for about 7 months before my first appointment at LaserHealth® Solutions. I was unable to sleep on my left side and had difficulty golfing. After 22 treatments on my left shoulder, I can spend pretty much an entire day and not notice my shoulder. All the therapists are caring, thorough and have an excellent approach to treatment. The ambiance in general at LaserHealth® Solutions is very patient friendly.”
“A few years ago I was diagnosed with Fybromyalgia. Over the years I have had pain throughout my body. Some of that pain was in my upper back. This was the most intense area of pain and the pain and stiffness in this area caused me to have not only a sore back all the time but headaches on a daily basis. I could not lie on my back for more than five minutes without getting a headache or having a lot of pain in my back. I have tried many different ways to alleviate this pain over the years, including, heat, cold, topical ointments, prescription drugs, etc. but nothing would last so I decided to try LaserHealth® Solutions. After the first… View the whole post
“I came here after much procrastination but the pain in my right hip came to the point in which I couldn't walk up stairs. Ten treatments later there was pain still there but not as much.About 3 weeks later NO PAIN, I was amazed.That was over 2 years ago and it hasn't come back.I became an instant convert to laser treatments and I tell everyone about the success.
It is March 2009 now and I have just finished treatments for Plantar Fasciitis.After 10 treatments the pain is almost gone and I look forward to pain free feet.
Run, don't walk to LaserHealth® Solutions as it does work.”
“I sustained a hockey injury to the right knee and strained the ACL and LCL. I couldn't walk the first few days without a knee splint. I thought with the way I was feeling that I would be sidelined for playing hockey for several months. I came to LaserHealth® Solutions and after 6 treatments I'm back on the ice with no pain!”
“If I had known 2½ years ago, about Laser Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis, instead of listening to my podiatrist, I would have saved myself a lot of pain.I was told that I would have to wear orthotics and just live with the pain.The problem is the pain was getting worse.Some days it was all I could do to get through the day.It was affecting my quality of life.My husband was listening to the radio and heard about LaserHealth® Solutions and suggested I go.It was one of the best decisions I've made.Dr. Rob explained the procedure and how it would repair the tissues that were damaged. … View the whole post
Four months ago when I was on my trip to Quebec City, I developed severe leg pain as I did a lot of walking around and there were also lots of stairs. I had to use a wheel chair to get off the plane as the pain was so bad. My doctor sent me to different treatments which did not work. My doctor then sent me to LaserHealth® Solutions where I was treated very well. I met very nice people and the Laser Therapy has helped. I am happy I can walk again.
I was suffering for 3 days with left shoulder pain when I first came in to see Dr. Rob at LaserHealth® Solutions. The acute pain was so intense that it limited my movement in most directions and sleeping was horrible. Advil didn't help at all. Because it was an acute injury they suggested 3 - 6 treatments. After my second the pain was almost gone. After my third, the pain was eliminated and I had full range of motion again.
