This covers everyday injuries to the skin and soft tissue: burns, cuts, scrapes, and the bruising and swelling from a fall or impact. Once any urgent medical care is done, the body heals in stages, first calming inflammation, then rebuilding tissue, then strengthening it. That can take weeks, and it's often sore along the way. Laser therapy is used to support that natural repair and help ease pain. Read about clients whose recovery included our care.

I injured my right shoulder moving washing machine. Pain increased over time as well as a loss of motion that interfered with everyday activities and sleep. Laser treatments combined with Dr. Rob's recommended exercises restored range of motion and decreased pain to a minimum. No pain at all in every day normal activities.

After completing a walking half marathon the next day I had a very, very sore backside with an intense shooting pain down my thigh. It was an inflamed piriformis which is a muscle in your buttocks which pressed on my Sciatic Nerve. Whenever I sat it was extremely uncomfortable. I would squirm to find a position that I could bear. There were times I went from the sitting to standing positions and I was totally immobilized. I tried waiting out the injury, Tylenol, ibuprofen, ice and heat. Nothing seemed to lessen the pain. I eventually had 3 treatments of low intensity laser and the pain was gone. I could not believe it! After a month of pain and trying out all the conventional methods with the exception of not wanting to start the long drawn out process of physical therapy. I was now pain free. It was truly remarkable.

\"I came into LaserHealth Solutions two weeks after being in a motor vehicular accident in late 2010 where I was rear ended twisting me in my seat. I was having back and neck pain which caused my legs to go numb. I could not sit for 10 minutes without being in major pain and could not walk long distances. My doctor prescribed muscle relaxants and I attended physiotherapy/massage as often as three times a week. I would end up leaving the physiotherapy appointments in more pain then when I entered and I was seeing little to no improvement.
I was referred to Blaine (of LaserHealth Solutions) from a family member at a point when I was in unbearable pain. I was willing to try anything to return to normalcy. I will admit that I was a little unsure about how well their treatments would work.
After my first appointment with Blaine I was feeling much better. My range of motion increased to half of what I would consider normal. I could sit stand and walk with very little to no pain. The stretching and gentle muscle work that he provided was more relaxing then any of the physiotherapy and massages I previously had. He recommended plenty of stretches for me to do at home to help this process. He even pointed out things that my fiancée could watch for and assist me in my recovery. The results were obvious and I was back to my old self (even shoveling snow) after four treatments.
The speed at which I recovered encouraged numerous coworkers to see LaserHealth Solutions as well!
**Update 2013:** I am pleased to say that after two years my neck and back remain pain free.

\"I had a surfing accident while in Mexico a few years back resulting in a severe dislocation of my shoulder with some tearing in my rotator cuff. I finally had surgery to repair the damage one year ago but the constant pain lingered causing many sleepless nights. We even purchased the best pocket coil mattress available to no avail. At the age of 66 I am aware that my body's healing capacity is significantly slower but I needed relief.
I commenced treatment at the LaserHealth Solutions 3 weeks ago where the staff administered gentle manual work to release the critical points of my shoulder and thereafter laser treatment. The relief was immediate after the first appointment and I slept without pain that night!
To this date I have had 6 treatments and I feel the results have been significant enough to compel me to write this letter with sincere thanks to Charlotte and Blaine!

Calgary Herald: Radio host Rutherford helps pull man from burning truck after crash
\"You know the other day I stopped to help a guy from a burning truck along Deerfoot. I stopped to help with some other people and it ended up that two of us had to pull the driver out of the passenger side. He was resisting he didn't want to go. He was frozen at the wheel. We had to pull with all we had to get him up.
You know I didn't notice anything that day but the next day my lower back was screaming. I couldn't even bend over it was so bad. I struggled for a couple of days thinking it would get better but it didn't it got worse and so yes I headed to LaserHealth Solutions.
Blaine examined it he poked and he prodded a bit and massaged it and stretched it and he found a couple of trigger points that were the key areas of problem and the trigger points led to pain in other places; and Blaine can always figure those things out. So he decided to put the light on those spots and the treatment began. You know he figured that it was probably a combination of jumping out of the car and running up this high embankment to where the truck was coupled with the excessive force we had to use to get him out and the difficult weird angles we were at pulling the guy through the passenger side door. It was really tough. So those two things combined to yank my back. But after the massaging and the identification of the problem and then putting the laser light pads on the areas it's great. It took a few visits but my back is fine again. I could move normally. It feels great!
Thanks Blaine thanks a lot!
