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.

This is an update to Marci's previous testimonial. She has had surgery done on her back to relieve the pressure on some nerves in in her lower back that were causing numbness and tingling.
My neurosurgeon relieved the remaining pressure on my nerve and I am now back for post surgical laser treatments. After surgery I still had some tingling in my leg and more in my foot, but overall much less. I have now taken two laser treatments since the surgery and am happy to say the tingling in my foot is slowly reducing and I can now feel my leg without any tingling at all. This has been a long journey, but I am hopeful for a compete recovery.
I play hockey and last year while skating, my ankle gave out on me and I strained my left groin. That same weekend I attended a goalie camp where I was a shooter. The ice there was chopped up and I tripped in a hole and injured it even more. That weekend there was a hockey tournament and I ended up sitting out all of the games except the last one. After that it was good for about a month. Somehow I injured the right groin just before the hockey trip to Anaheim. I did not tell the coach until after the trip because I didn't want to have to sit out. I took that summer off from training and was getting some ART treatments done. When the season… View the whole post
I had bursitis in my left shoulder and it seems I could not rest the shoulder long enough for it to heal. This went on for about six months before I came into LaserHealth® Solutions. Also at that time, my work demanded more use of the shoulder. Regardless of the extra use, I noticed after the second treatment the shoulder was not as sensitive to use. It started to heal regardless of the extra work after the third or fourth treatment, the shoulder was no longer a concern to me. It became history.
“I played basketball all my life.I attended University in the states on a four year scholarship and went on to play professional basketball in Europe.After I stopped playing competitively I started having a lot of problems with my left ankle (pain and range of motion).I had 2 separate surgeries on my left ankle, one in 1999 and another in 2000.Since that time I continued to have pain and stiffness of the left ankle.
I read about Laser Therapy and wanted to give it a try as I have tried everything else with little success. After a few sessions with LHS I noticed a significant improvement with my left ankle. There is little to no pain… View the whole post
“Under 2 weeks ago, I started experiencing jolts of pain in my left hip. I suspect this happened while swimming.
A friend recommended that I go to LaserHealth® Solutions. After a check-up and spine scan, Dr. Rob recommended laser treatment. One day after the first treatment, I was experiencing way less pain and I was able to resume swimming. Now, after less than 2 weeks, there is virtually no pain. This is after only 4 laser treatments.”
“On May 8, 2006 I started to get pain in my left foot. The doctors ordered an x-ray and I was diagnosed with a heel spur. I had been working as a hair dresser for many years and that required me to be on my feet for many hours. This stress on my feet might have developed this problem. I had orthotics prescribed for me and they helped a bit but it didn't take away the pain. That is when I decided to give Laser Therapy a try.
After the first 6 treatments I noticed a 30% improvement. I have now completed 10 treatments and I am 90% better. I'm able to enjoy my walks again with my husband.
Thanks to all the staff at LaserHealth® Solutions for getting rid of my foot pain”.
“I came to LaserHealth® Solutions with shoulder pain.It hurt every time I had to move my arm.I couldn't lift my arm and reach up to the shelf for a coffee mug, the pain was so severe.I knew then that I had to get help.And coming to LaserHealth® Solutions has proven beneficial.After my 11th treatment, I am good to go - my arm is almost back to normal.No more pain and I can manage all my usual chores that I couldn't do in the past 6 months.I don't have to live in pain anymore thanks to Laser Therapy.I wish I had come sooner!!”
“We brought our son Aaron to your clinic 2 summers ago, and it‘s been the best thing ever. Aaron is playing (baseball) for a college in Kansas. We tell everyone that this couldn‘t have happened, if he hadn‘t gotten his injury treated at your clinic.”
“I was taking a stroll around my seniors residence one day and I happened upon a presentation on Laser Therapy and how it gets rid of pain. Since I have more than my fair share I decided to stay and listen. I had a nagging pain in both my legs from the knee to the ankles for more than 10 years. I have been to see many doctors and have tried everything I could to solve my problem with no success. After the first treatment I felt an improvement, this gave me encouragement so I decided to continue. After 8 treatments the pain was almost gone. Now I have no pain at all!
Along with my leg pain I have had a problem with the second toe on both… View the whole post
It's been so long that I've had this low back pain that I can't remember anymore when it started. It seems it's been there forever. And I was taking tons of prescribed medications for my DDD (Degenerative Disc Disease).
It took me longer than I expected to notice some improvement but I realized that an 84-year-old like me had to be patient and give Laser Therapy a chance to help me with my chronic pain. Amphy (my therapist) encouraged me to keep coming. Thank Goodness I listened to her.
The result: It lets me do more things than I was able to do before. Less pain and I am more mobile. It's worth trying this therapy!!
