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 playing hockey and was tripped into the boards separating my collar bone. Unfortunately it happened one week before the golf courses opened and my dues were already paid. I was told at the hospital, that golfing would be out for at least 8 weeks. A few days later I heard an advertisement for Laser Therapy and decided to try it. There was some improvement in the second week, however unfortunately I over did it and had a small set back. Amphy told me not to work too hard during the early stages of recovery. I continued with the laser treatment and let the shoulder recuperate properly. There is still a little pain after five weeks… View the whole post
“Three years ago I ruptured my Achilles playing racquetball.Following treatment and physiotherapy I developed a burning pain in the ball of my foot.My doctor called it a neuroma and suggested I pad my shoe for some relief.I lived with the pain for three years, thinking it would just go away.I finally researched Laser Therapy and went to LaserHealth® Solutions.After two weeks and 9 treatments I am pain free.I can‘t believe I waited so long!”
“After ten treatments I can now enjoy a good night's sleep.I had low back pain for over 4 months. I slept for many weeks on a recliner chair because it was so painful getting in and out of bed.Now I have no problem.
I have tried other treatments, with little or no success till now.I would like to recommend laser treatment to anyone who needs it.I had suffered with back pain for many years and the relief is wonderful.
I thank you, to the happy, pleasant technicians who treated me.”
Here is my story…When I first came in to LaserHealth® Solutions, lifting my left arm over my head or behind my back resulted in a shooting pain sensation in my shoulder that would often last for a couple of minutes. After my first laser session I was surprised to notice an increased range of motion when raising my arm above my head. This movement has seen the fastest and most complete recovery so far. Placing my arm behind my back has been the slowest to recover, but it is improving with the stretches I have been doing along with the laser treatments. I'm confident this therapy will allow me to regain all the motion in my shoulder… View the whole post
Seven years ago I developed a throbbing sensation in my upper and lower back. Exercise was just making it worse. It got so bad that I had constant numbness in both my legs and feet that would prevent me from walking. I went for many for many therapies I tried chiropractic, massage, ART, anxiety medication and a bunch of IMS (that was hard to do). I looked all over for a solution. In the last two years I have only been out of the house a handful of times due to the pain. Over the last ten months before going for therapy at LaserHealth® Solutions I spent most of my days in bed or on the couch. The only time I was out of the house… View the whole post
I fell and broke my right hip. I had to have a hip replacement, followed by some physical therapy. For peace of mind, I used a walker to get around. Over time, it put a lot of stress on my left shoulder because I was trying to take the weight off of my hip. As a result, I ended up with a frozen left shoulder, which often kept me awake at night. At the age of 89, one needs all the sleep they can get. I couldn't do much of anything with this arm for over 3 months before I heard that the people from LaserHealth® Solutions did a talk at my manor. I knew a friend of mine that had laser treatments for a neck problem and it was a great help for… View the whole post
“I retired from my job and started doing renovations on old houses.As a result I hurt my shoulder.It persisted for over 3 years.The last three months the pain was so severe I couldn't use my right arm at all.It was impossible to sleep at night.One day as I was Fed up with this whole situation I just grabbed the yellow pages and looked until I found a solution, LaserHealth® Solutions.I have had 12 laser treatments and am about 90% better.I can curl my hair and hold my arm out from my body and over my head without pain were as before I couldn't move my arm at all.I didn't see results right away, in fact… View the whole post
“I fell on my out-stretched arm while skiing 5 years ago. Being proactive I quickly had an ultrasound done that showed no tear and started physiotherapy the week after it happened. I followed this up with periodic massages. It's been sore off and on ever since then. Now to be honest, I am not one to back off on my activities when I am hurting. I weight train and when I water my horse I usually carry two big buckets of water at a time. I use to think my shoulder pain was “my Achilles Heel”, but I now realize that I have not really given my shoulder the opportunity to heal completely because of my impatience.… View the whole post
“I began experiencing pain in my right knee more than a year ago.The pain got progressively worse to the point that I couldn't bend my knee at all.I work in the construction industry and I am constantly climbing in and out of heavy duty equipment.The pain in my knee was making my job more and more difficult to do.
One morning as I was reading the local paper I saw an ad for LaserHealth® Solutions.I called on Monday for information and was able to get an appointment for an evaluation the same day, and had my first treatment the next day.I was amazed to wake up Wednesday and was able to bend my knee pain free for the first time in almost a year.”
