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.

“The pain in my right arm started in 1999 while I was working as a scaffolder. I also golfed during the summer and that would bring the pain on as well.I could not do a preacher curl in the gym either.I tried physical therapy and acupuncture.Nothing helped and I ended up having to leave the industry.
Five years later, I went back to scaffolding and the pain was back within 60 days of restarting.The pain was gradually getting worse and I was suffering through it.Then I heard about LaserHealth® Solutions from a co-worker, whose wife was getting treatments for carpal tunnel and had positive things to say.I read… View the whole post
“About 6 months ago, I injured my rotator cuffs. I was in a great deal of pain and had limited range of motion. Not knowing about LaserHealth® Solutions, I went to the Doctor. I was prescribed a fairly heavy duty anti-inflammatory, which did take away the pain and allowed me to get back the range of movement. However, I have had intermittent pain in the left shoulder since.
I was advised about LHS via a co-worker. I dropped into the office in Surrey, picked up some of the literature and went away to research. I finally booked a consultation and started the treatment.
“I had so much pain on the left side of my neck that I could hardly turn to check traffic on that side while driving, and it was really a great concern for road safety. My shoulders
were both painful at the joints when I would lift my arms up and I couldn't sleep or lay on my sides because it would only cause more pain.
For years, I had been going once or twice a week to the physio and massage therapists to try and alleviate the pain so that I could get some mobility in my neck and shoulders area. The type of work I do (computer drafting) doesn't help either even though I try to get up and move around at least every hour or… View the whole post
“I'm a dry-waller and the repetitive stress of lifting sheets of drywall caused me to develop pain on the outside to my right elbow. The pain started slowly and over the course of 2 months it got so severe that holding a 13oz hammer was difficult to lift over my head while nailing. 3-4 treatments later the pain subsided and I started to feel really good. I had 12 treatments in total and the pain is now completely gone and I'm able to do my job sheeting drywall without any pain.”
Ingrid had a chronic pain in her shoulders with decreased range of motion, especially on her right shoulder. She started to feel improvements after just 3 treatments. After the 5th treatment she could sleep through the night without waking up due to pain. After the 1th treatment, the sharp pain was gone and there is just a bit of pain on occasion. She has responded very, very well to the treatments and she is 85 years old!!!
I admit I was a skeptic before I came to LaserHealth® Solutions. For 25 years, I'd been looking for help for my Degenerative Disc Disease. Everyday, round the clock, 24 hours a day, I had pain in my low back and hips.
But after just the 1st treatment, I felt a big relief. I continued and did the recommended treatments. Each visit helped relieve the pain. And now, the round the clock pain that I have had for 25 years is GONE.
I'm looking forward to living life once again without pain!!!
“Over the period of a number of months, the pain in my left shoulder in particular, increased to the point that even raising my arm beyond a 15-20 degree angle was more than just uncomfortable.Being an active person, I became more frustrated as the discomfort was causing me to forgo the activities I wanted, and needed, to do.
My reaction was that, having presumed the problem was a rotator cuff issue, it was time to seek surgical relief.Fortunately, one morning, I listened to a radio advertisement describing my symptoms and the potential remedy - Laser Therapy.
Having gone through nine, half-hour sessions with the simplicity… View the whole post
“My name is Cole Armstrong and I‘m a professional baseball player with the Chicago White Sox organization. I was in the fall league playing in Arizona and with about a week left, I took a foul tip off my thumb.There was a lot of pain, however it didn‘t feel like I had broken it. So, what I did was to play through it and kind of did that for the last week of the season. When I got home the pain wasn‘t going down so I went to get an x-ray.It turned out I had a fracture in the tip of the thumb.The doctors in Chicago recommended that I go see an orthopedic surgeon and look at having a pin put in. After talking with… View the whole post
“I have had rheumatoid arthritis for many years, but it has been under control thanks to a series of different medications over the years. However, when my back suddenly went into spasm this past September, I was taken to emergency by ambulance and given morphine for the excruciating pain. My family doctor thought it was just muscular and refused my plea to book an MRI, but when there was no improvement, I finally convinced him to order a basic back x-ray. He was as surprised as I was with the diagnosis of severe degeneration in my lower spine (spondylosis, osteoarthritis). I was in constant, severe pain that… View the whole post
I was in a massive car accident three and a half years ago. My back just kept getting worse over time. I came to LaserHealth® Solutions with an open mind to try Laser Therapy for my chronic back pain.
After just my first treatment, I felt a little sigh of relief. I felt my mobility increase and my pain decrease. And I continuously improved as we progressed with the treatments. I felt great after my 10th treatment but went for 2 more sessions and saw even more improvement.
I believe that Laser Therapy has done its part, and to maintain the level that I am now, I will do my back exercises as I promised my therapist.
