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 had pain in my right shoulder for over a year before I decided to look for help.My doctor suggested I try a cortisone shot but I didn't want to do that.I saw some help from physiotherapy; however, I was still being bothered by significant shoulder pain.I saw an ad for LaserHealth® Solutions and decided to give Laser Therapy a try.After about 8 treatments the pain had settled down enough that I was able to go fishing on my holidays.As you can see I landed a 120 pound sail fish all by my self, and was not terribly bothered by pain in my shoulder for the remainder of my Mexican vacation.
“I hurt my back bending over one day and ended up falling over in pain.I was unable to straighten my back when walking and I had low back pain for over seven months.For two and a half months I was on heavy medications that were making me sleep 12 to 16 hours per day.
I am glad that I was convinced to go to LaserHealth® Solutions.I tend to suffer for a long time with my pain problems before doing anything.I had 12 treatments over five weeks and felt absolutely great.I walked out of their office with no pain.During my drive home, 15 minutes after leaving their office, I was rear-ended after a… View the whole post
“I had injured my shoulder playing tennis 2 weeks before I came in for laser treatments.I tried physical therapy for it and it helped temporarily with the pain but the pain always came back.I heard about LaserHealth® Solutions from my daughter.I thought that I would give it a try because I do not do well with medications.I also have arthritis in my knee and had done physical therapy with it too.I came in for my consultation and started treatments right away.I have completed my treatments and I have no pain left in my knee and I am walking much better.Before the injury to my shoulder I was very active, I… View the whole post
In July 28 I was diagnosed with two bulged discs after suffering for six months with terrible lower back pain. I was unable to work or walk and I was in a lot of pain. I had two (cortisone) injections which didn't seem to help, nor did Chiropractic, Acupuncture, IMS, traction beds, or Physiotherapy. I was using a walker to get around and needed a wheelchair to go anywhere with my children.
I heard about laser from a friend and as with everything else decided to give it a try. If was difficult to get myself to the clinic, but was pleased that they could help me (to position me) while being on my side for comfort.
“I have arthritis in both of my hips and could only take Tylenol for pain (previous prescription had been pulled off the shelves).This is why I tried Laser after reading an ad in the local paper Burnaby Now.
The timeline for treatment was 12 visits, with great results.I would certainly recommend treatments as it did a wonderful job on me.My family thinks it is great that I am not in the awful pain anymore.”
“I came into LaserHealth® Solutions with Achillies Tendonitis.The pain was so bad that I wasn't able to run.By the 5th treatment I was up and running.I look forward to many years of running.”
My foot problem occurred on July 1, 27 at a Golf Spring Swing clinic. I tried 5 acupuncture treatments and got some results. I tried chiropractic treatments and got some results and then I tried 2 months of anti-inflammatory medications and got some results. I started treatments on my foot at LaserHealth® Solutions on March 14, 28. I started seeing results with my foot so I decided to get on my neck and shoulders as well. My neck had been stiff and sore for awhile and had tried chiropractic treatments with some results. I had 12 treatments on my foot and 1 on my neck and shoulders. In my opinion the best results was with the combination… View the whole post
“From the initial consultation and what was recommended for treatments was exactly on target! From not being able to lift weights or stretching exercises, in 10 treatments I was pain free and finally able to sleep through the night. I would strongly recommend anyone who has pain affecting their day to day activities to give it a fair try. It feels great to be pain free!”
“About 5 years ago I suffered a repetitive strain injury at work.I was lifting paper (180 pounds at a time) and twisting my back feeding a printing press.I was under Chiropractic care and found that it helped for a short time.Six months later I found my lower back in a lot of discomfort so I started to take medication for the pain.It was around a year later that I re-injured it once more.Again the Chiropractor looked after the problem, but this time with less success.My recovery time was starting to take longer and I needed help putting on my socks and shoes.
“I have osteoarthritis in my left knee. It was bothering me for almost five years. The doctor said that I may need a knee replacement soon. I was popping Tylenol and Ibuprophen like candy and my doctor was concerned that this was not good for my long term health. I asked her about Laser Therapy and she did not know much about it but suggested that I give it a try. After ten treatments on my right knee I am pretty much pain free. I started to feel quite good after about the third treatment I have not had a need for any pain medication in over a year. Now I am able to walk, go to my exercise classes at Curves, and even dance at… View the whole post
