To All of Our Valued Clients,

In an effort to protect our clients and employees, as well as to do our part in flattening the curve, we have made the decision to close our clinic on March 28. This is a temporary measure and we will be contacting you when it is safe to reopen the clinic.

There may be the possibility soon of allowing emergency appointments. If you are having an emergency, or would like to contact us for any reason, please email Suzanne at sbiller@laserhealthsolutions.com.

Thank you so much for your understanding and patience during this trying time. Thank you as well for your ongoing support of our small business.

Osteopath? What’s an Osteopath?

Laser Health Solutions is not just a laser therapy clinic. Some of the most effective manual therapy
techniques used by the therapists in our clinic are osteopath techniques. Osteopaths focus on four
areas of therapy.

1. Structural Imbalances. In our clinic, we find that many people require the osteopath techniques
that assess and correct structural imbalances. These imbalances, which are found mostly in the
pelvis and vertebrae, can lead to significant pain all along the cervical, thoracic and lumbar
spine. Structural imbalances can also lead to sciatica, knee pain and plantar fasciitis.

2. Fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue that attaches, stabilizes, encloses and separates muscles
and other internal organs. Pain can result when fascia loses it flexibility, when adhesions form or
it becomes inflamed. An osteopath uses specific techniques to loosen tight or adhered fascia in
the body. Some of the more common areas where this may happen are the rotator cuff
(shoulder), low back, elbow, ankle and foot. Our therapists also use cold laser therapy to treat
inflammation of the fascia.

3. Craniosacral Therapy. Craniosacral therapy is also provided in our clinic when appropriate. It is
a very gentle palpation technique with the goal of balancing the bones, nerves, fluids and
connective tissues of the cranium and spinal area. This technique may be used when someone
has cervical (neck) pain, ongoing symptoms from a motor vehicle accident or headaches.

4. Visceral Work. Though this isn’t used in our clinic as much as the first 3 methods, visceral work
can be beneficial for people suffering with internal organ issues such as gastrointestinal, liver
and bladder complaints.
When laser therapy is used in conjunction with osteopath techniques, you are receiving a more
complete treatment. If you have shoulder pain, plantar fasciitis, low back pain and/or sciatica, neck pain, tennis elbow or knee pain, give the clinic a call to set up an appointment.

Why is Somatics used at Laser Health Solutions?

Muscles can become chronically tight or shortened due to repetitive activity or inactivity. If muscles don’t have the opportunity to function at their full length, sensory motor amnesia (SMA) can set in. This means that the nervous system will not allow the muscles to relax and lengthen fully. Pai...

The healing effect of near-infrared light was reported decades ago and many studies have been done since then to assess how it works.

Nobody is safe from referred pain

Everybody comes into the clinic thinking they’ve got it all figured out. Even the masters are at fault in this department. Yesterday, a patient and fellow manual therapist had hurt his thigh doing some exercises to prep for the beach months. He came in with a very tight inner thigh muscle that he could put his finger right on the “spot”. He was so sure that it was the knee he completely forgot that all the muscles above and below the pain that can be feeling the strain as well. “It hurts to stand and sit” he says. Hip muscles can hurt when standing and walking, but most often are relaxed when sitting. On the other hand, the gluteus muscles and hip stabilizers need to support your weight when standing, walking and sitting. The glute medius, piriformis, and iliacus muscles can all hurt down into the thigh when cranky. He was very surprised at just how sore these muscles were too! Finishing with some light work on the “spot” and he was back to cartwheels the next morning. The next time you are in pain, try and feel the real problem instead of the just symptoms!

"At 59 years of age, and severe pain in my lower back, my life was at a standstill. Work was difficult, golf impossible; life in general was going downhill. I've tried many different things to help my pain; nothing worked or just temporarily worked. Laser treatment for me is the answer. The first 5 treatments saw
little results. Then the pain started to decrease. Now I'm almost back to 100% of my early self.

Thank you Laser Health Solutions.”

The brain can not only change itself, but it can also heal itself in ways we never thought were possible. Dr. Norman Doidge looks at how energy — light, sound, electricity and motion — awaken the brain's own capacity to heal.

Butts are the topic today. With new years just passing there is a big push for the “tush” as people try getting into new exercise regimes. Making a healthy change is great, but one of the dangers of this is pushing an under-conditioned body. This often results in injuries. If you normally spend most of the day sitting at the computer, jumping into a new routine can lead to unwanted pain and disheartening aggravation.

Sciatica is so common that our therapists can see 2-3 sciatic conditions per day in our clinic. People that have suffered from sciatica for years or just a few weeks, all have the same symptoms - Deep ache in the hip that goes down the leg after walking, driving, or sitting too long. In some cases it can it can even hurt down the front of the leg down to the knee or people can have hip pain when sleeping. Pain in the heel can also be a sign there is a possible problem with the sciatic nerve.
“Sciatica” often comes from
-Chronic sitting creating trigger points in the rump.

-Imbalance of the hips creating overworked muscles from trying to hold your body up straight.

-Impingement of the sciatic nerve, gluteus, or nerve root in the lumbar spine.

-Overworked, overtired muscles that create sciatica like pain into the butt and leg.

Which muscles are tight and which are weak, you don’t really know until you have a professional that is trained in this assessment to tell you. Take out the guess work and risk of working the wrong muscles. If you are experiencing any of these problems, it might be a good idea to get a treatment to help you resolve it sooner.

We are seeing people like Janet 2-3 times a day and we love seeing them improve. Now is the time to get treatments started before Calgary's beautiful summer gets here!

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.

Janet
