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'm an 18 year old female AAA hockey player and LaserHealth® Solutions has helped me continue to play the sport I love.I have had a terribly swollen ankle (bursitis) for several years now and tried several different treatments for it - but nothing seemed to work.My injury occurred in a way most hockey players can sympathize with; a slap shot taken off the ankle.Unfortunately I was wearing ankle socks which served to further irritate it.Even after switching to regular socks the problem seemed to get worse and worse. My injury got to the point that it was affecting my on-ice performance.Even lacing up my skates was… View the whole post
“21 years ago I had a C-Section.Recently I was moving furniture around in my house and I heard a pop sound in my abdomen.The next day it was tight, sore and swollen raised about ½”-3/4” above my normally flat stomach.I heard about laser treatment and wanted to give it a try, as all attempts I had made earlier with other medical interventions were unsuccessful.The pain prevented me from doing my weight work-outs.
After the very first treatment most of the swelling went down right away.I was amazed.I only had four treatments over seven days. At that point it was about 80-90% improved with… View the whole post
“When I first started treatment, I was skeptical and I told the therapist. However after 4 or 5 sessions, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my shoulder. I look forward to a pain free golf swing.”
“I aggravated my back working in the yard, resulting in back pain and sciatica.After weeks of inactivity and drugs, the pain moved from the back to the piriformis and pinched sciatic nerve.I started Laser Therapy to relieve the piriformis issues.The result after the first visit was better sleeping patterns.After 8 visits, all the prescriptions and pain killers were not required.I would like to say, too, that the staff at LaserHealth® Solutions were very friendly and co-operative.“
I have had troubles with my shoulder for over 17 years. I have worked as a cabinetmaker for 51 years. I started when I was 14. I am now 67 years old and retired. My shoulder pain just started one day with out any real event to start it, but I know working in cabinet making can be very demanding on the arms and shoulders. There is always lots of lifting, turning and twisting to get the cabinets in just the right spot, and all this is done by brute strength. About 4 months ago I had some frozen shoulder because I could only lift my right arm up to my breast pocket and no further with out severe pain. I had to change the way I… View the whole post
“After living with pain in my feet and heels for years, with what I thought was plantar fasciitis, I decided that prior to my trip to Scotland I had better try and do something to help heal my feet. I had heard that Laser Therapy was helpful for this condition and after reading an ad in the newspaper for LaserHealth® Solutions I decided to try it.
Living with foot and heel pain that at times made me question if my feet would be able to support me when I stood up, was getting increasingly worse. I learned from my initial visit that it was not only plantar fasciitis, but also tendonitis that was causing my pain.… View the whole post
I had tried physio, chiro, massage and acupuncture but nothing kept the pain away for more than 2 weeks. Seeing as though the injury was on my right hand and I am right handed, I noticed how the injury was impacting my everyday life. Nothing seemed to actually heal the injury; it just temporarily made the pain go away. Then I heard about laser and everything changed. I started going to laser 3 times a week because the injury was already 2 years at this point. Since the injury was so severe and so old it took about 4 or 5 treatments before I started to notice a difference. I remember it very well though. One day I was eating cereal and… View the whole post
I had been having a problem with my foot for about 9 months where it hurt when I exercised. I had tried resting it and stretching it but to no avail. I came to LaserHealth® Solutions and they treated it with their laser and taught me how to break up the scar tissue, stretch and ice it.
It was about 80% improved within 2 weeks and now 6 weeks later it is 100%. There were some weeks I couldn't come for treatment but did the stretching and icing. My foot did not get worse so I am confident if I keep stretching the problem will be gone permanently.
The pain first started in Nov 25, then I had about 6 months of pain relief. I started a new job in Feb 26 and had a different desk set up and the pain came back only worse than before. I tried everything from physical therapy, massage therapy and chiropractic and nothing helped. After a year of pain and not wanting to take painkillers, I saw an ad on TV about LHS and decided to give them a call. After 10 treatments I am finally pain free and enjoying physical activity again! I only wish that I would have started laser treatments long ago. I am so pleased with the care I received here and can't thank everyone enough!
I am a 66 year old male expecting my body to perform like that of a much younger person. As a result I have suffered mild discomfort to chronic debilitating lower back pain. Over the many years I have sought professional intervention augmented by applying heat and consuming anti inflammatory medications. These treatments, although helpful, were temporary in nature. The back pain continued dependent upon my physical activity including such minor activities as sitting, sleeping, dressing, etc.
I became aware of Dr. Rob and his Laser Therapy clinic in June 27, made an appointment and received an evaluation beginning treatments in July 27. Although… View the whole post
