The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, which also makes it easy to injure. Common problems include rotator cuff strains and tears, tendonitis, bursitis, and frozen shoulder, where the joint capsule tightens and movement becomes very limited. Pain is often felt when reaching overhead or behind your back, and when lying on that side. Our therapists combine laser therapy and hands-on therapies to reduce pain and restore movement.

After a few minor injuries, my shoulder reacted painfully to any jarring or stressing. I tried physiotherapy and acupuncture to no avail.
Now, after a number of LASER treatments and exercises, my range of motion has improved and the pain (which was considerable) has subsided greatly.
I am grateful to have finally found something that helps.

I was introduced to Laser Therapy from my Chiropractor. My left shoulder had bothered me for quite some time. I was unable to do simple tasks such as opening doors, lifting things or reaching behind my back. After two treatments, I am all better. I am so amazed by this technology. All I can say is give Laser Therapy a try. There is nothing to lose. One thing I learned is to not ignore your injuries. Get them treated right away. The faster you treat them, the faster they will go away.
The staff here is fantastic, knowledgeable and sensational. I am very pleased with the customer service. I learned a lot about Laser Therapy and how to take care of myself in the future.

I developed a mysterious pain in my mid-back in the early spring. I can't remember how I may have gotten this problem, but oh boy did it hurt! It was nagging me for about three months before I found out about LaserHealth Solutions. The pain would start in the center of my back just below the shoulder blade, and would radiate out to the right side the more active I remained. I love to hike, and this problem was not allowing me to enjoy my favorite pass time. At times it would be so bad that I would need to sit down for up to a half-hour after only 60 minutes of walking in the mall. I was told that I may need up to 10 laser treatments to fix my condition, however, I had 6 treatments and the pain was gone! What a relief. I was very pleased that there was no pressure from the LHS staff for me to finish all 10 sessions.
I am very happy that this was a CURE for my condition and didn't require me to come back for follow up therapy. I finished my treatments eight months ago and I am still fine today. I have been on about 6 major hikes since with no problem.

I came in with chronic shoulder pain that had been a problem for about 1 years. It had started after a bike accident. Over time I was less able to do things such as painting the house and lifting my arm over my head, lateral raises at the gym, side planks etc. I had already tried physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, bought a TENS machine, anti-inflammatory medication, and of course lots of ice. As my knee improved, my shoulder started acting up. The physical therapist that I had been seeing recommended that I see a Sports Medicine Dr. and get a cortisone shot. I had already had one in my knee and it was not something that I wanted to do for my shoulder as I don't like needles and didn't like the idea of putting that into my body again. I had also been seeing a Fitness Consultant about my knee and she recommended that I try Laser Therapy. She had been getting laser treatments and saw some efficacy with the treatments and I trusted her enough to try it. After 17 treatments I am 80-85% of normal functioning. The laser treatments have viability for healing and I would recommend it to others because it is non-invasive, there are no drugs and it works.

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 am pleased to say that after a half dozen sessions, the intermittent stabs of pain that usually occurred during the night, has gone away.
Will this be a good treatment for you? I am certainly not in a position to say. I will say though, if you are tired of a nagging injury give this a try. All you have to lose is the pain!

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 so.
Having reached the end of my ability to tolerate the pain and concerned because I drive at least 150 kilometers a day to and from work, I decided to try the laser treatments. I kept hearing about it over the News 1130 radio station on my way to work every morning.
After the first treatment, I noticed a remarked difference in that the pain in my neck wasn't as bad and I could begin to move my head without flinching. After the 5th or 6th treatment, the pain in my left shoulder had dissipated to almost nothing and I had much more mobility. I then asked that the treatment be switched to my right shoulder and again within a few more treatments I now have mobility in both shoulders. I can raise my hands above my head to reach for things. My neck has greatly improved - I no longer have to stop and think before I look to the left while driving, which tells me that the change has been subtle but it is happening.
I have been telling my friends and family that if they have long-term pain and have tried everything else, they have nothing more to lose and much more to gain if they go for the laser treatments.
Now that my neck and shoulders are taken care of, I am going on to have my left hand and lower back treated. I look forward to more pain free days and have stopped carrying the Advil and Tylenol pills in my purse. My thanks to Dr. Rob and his assistant for their perseverance and tenacity with their treatments and I am looking forward to a pain-free lifestyle.

Hx: (Narrated by her daughter)
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!!!
Tusen takk (thank you)

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 of laser treatment, I am extremely happy to say that my symptoms have subsided considerably. No aggravation on a constant basis, ability to be as flexible as I used to be and a believer that I “discovered" the right process with the help of my chiropractor.

I heard about LaserHealth Solutions through a buddy of mine who plays a lot of sports like I do. I had a frozen shoulder since about February of this year (2006) and also an injury to my left elbow. I was attending tradition physiotherapy where they stretch you out. And while I had made some progress, the pain wasn't really dissipating, nor was I gaining much range of motion. I also found the exercises and stretches to be very painful while doing them and it took days to recover.
So I came into the clinic (LaserHealth Solutions) despite being a little skeptical. After the second session I noticed a huge improvement. After several sessions within days I was having almost no pain and a quite a lot more range of motion. I was able to go about my routine and sports virtually pain free. I would highly recommend Laser Therapy because it works.

I was somewhat disappointed after 6-7 months of severe pain, 3 trips to physio and 6 trips to a sports chiropractor - shifting the pain, but not reducing it. After seeing your newspaper ad and coming in for a consultation I was becoming optimistic. After just two sessions of laser treatment I could feel a reduction of pain and more freedom to use my arm and shoulder. Now after a total of nine treatments even on an intermittent basis (due to my work travel) the pain is almost non-existent. At least 98% gone! In November I went on vacation and played 6 rounds of golf in 1 days and no pain. I have recommended your services to many people and will continue to do so. Thank you.

Having suffered with the pain of tendonitis for about six months and not having success with physiotherapy I heard about Laser Therapy.
As a result of the pain in my elbow, I lost strength in my arm and hand to the extent that I could not grasp a jar to take off the lid, or lift my arm and bend my elbow. I also lost range of motion in my shoulder and neck and had pain in my shoulder and neck.
I had fast relief from the pain in my elbow and quickly started to regain the strength in my arm and hand. The treatment is painless and effective.
I can strongly recommend Laser Therapy.

I accidentally hurt my right shoulder while playing with my cousin. I can't lift my arm and I can't play in the snow.
My mom treated it with LASER and after 6 treatment, it doesn't hurt anymore and I can lift my arm again.
