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.

After a summer of landscaping a new yard, I found myself with terrible pain in both my heels. I could barely walk - I was hobbling around and the pain was very intense. So, I went to a Podiatrist who told me I had Achilles Tendonitis and that I should get some orthotics. I struggled with the orthotics for almost 6 months and my feet were getting worse, not better. Then I saw an ad in the newspaper for LaserHealth® Solutions. I was willing to try anything! I stopped wearing the orthotics and after just a few treatments I could feel an improvement. Now after only 8 treatments I am completely pain free. Not only does it work, but the staff are genuinely interested in your recovery. I highly recommend them.
My right forearm was very painful. Prior to Laser Therapy I used Pennsaid ointment. It did little help. My family doctor referred me to laser treatment. After eight treatments in a row, the pain on my right elbow was significantly reduced by approx. 90%. With exercises and low intensity laser treatments, I have recovered from my injury.
“I fractured my left hammate (hand) and had overall soreness around the surrounding area.Prior to Laser Therapy, I did not undergo any treatment to relieve the pain in the affected area.I heard about the benefits from a friend and decided to give Laser Therapy a try.After a few sessions, I noticed improvements in mobility and reduction in pain in my hand.I would recommend Laser Therapy to others experiencing pain due to injuries and who are looking for a treatment that will speed up recovery.”
“I dislocated my shoulder playing flag football and was recommended by a friend to try LaserHealth® Solutions.My experience with LaserHealth® Solutions has been excellent, not only do they have great staff, but also a great product.My recovery time has been quick and much appreciated as I have very little down time due to my job in the fire service.Thanks Dr. Rob and staff for my speedy recovery.”
I would like to say I have had 7 treatments and I feel 100%. I feel no pain of any sort and I will be back in the New Year for my Tennis Elbow. Thanks again.
After having a discectomy in January, I started having the complete opposite of a pain free back that I used to have. After about 6 treatments of Laser Therapy I actually started feeling better! I continued to take the treatments and after the 10th treatment I felt like I was 90-95% cured. I also feel that I will continue with a maintenance program just to be sure. Thank you for giving me a quality of life back that I thought I had lost forever!
“My right shoulder has been causing me pain after intense long runs and during heavy lifting such as bench press.After a few weeks of Laser Therapy my shoulder has improved a lot, allowing me to double the length of my runs and feeling less than half the pain I used to.Bench press no longer stands as a problem as well.”
“One Saturday morning in November of 2000, I was perched on top of an extension ladder painting the cathedral ceiling in my living room.I suddenly felt the ladder begin to slip off the beam that it was resting against.I fell 10 feet, sustaining a compound fracture in my left wrist as well as a dislocated elbow and shoulder.My orthopedic surgeon warned me to expect a future of limited mobility and arthritis.I never regained full range of motion and experienced constant dull pain in my shoulder and numbness in my left hand.
In September, I slipped and stopped short of hitting the ground by breaking my fall with, you… View the whole post
“I've been active all my life, so time plus wear and tear resulted in bad tendonitis in both knees about 2 years ago.It took me over a year of careful rehab (stretching and very slow return to strengthening) to get back my activity level (skiing, biking, jogging).Then I re-strained my knees, at which point I pursued Laser Therapy after seeing an ad in the Burnaby Now.I was also familiar with other benefits of light therapy so I felt confident it was worth a try.After 14 treatments and lots of laughing with the staff I've had significant improvement.I think my knees are starting to feel like they should when they're not chronically irritated.”
As a pianist, I would practice rigorously for extended periods of time in order to meet the demands of the profession. Eventually, the stress and physical intensity gave me inflammation in my left elbow. After trying several rehab therapies (ie: accupuncture, massage therapy, etc.), I found Laser Therapy to be the most effective. Treatments enabled me to progress from not being able to play at all, to giving a full Masters recital in 6 weeks. The approach is painless and deals specifically to heal injuries internally, therefore significantly accelerating the recovery process. I find this to be a highly effective solution for a diverse range of cases and people.
