What is Low Level Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy operates on the principle similar to acupuncture, but without needles. Here at Calgary Laserworks we use a low level laser (cold laser) instead of needles to target key energy points on the body. The procedures are non-invasive, non-thermal, safe, pain-free, affordable, and have great results!

Here are the answers to a few common questions asked by first-time laser clients.

How does low level laser therapy feel?

During treatment patients always say that they do not feel anything. Low level laser therapy is, in reality, very safe and painless. Low power lasers do not have the effect of warming the skin, but there are few who might perceive a very slight heat during the treatment. Other patients do experience a very light tingling feeling while having the therapy, but these patients usually have a more severe condition.

Where do you place the laser?

The laser is placed on the body around the ears, nose, hands and wrist.

How long is the first appointment?

The first appointment takes approximately one hour, however if you have any questions it can take a little more than an hour.

How long does each subsequent treatment take?

Subsequent treatments depend upon the history and severity of the condition. Treatments can be as short as 5 minutes or as long as 15 to 30 minutes. Usually the treatment is being administered in small or short quantities over time.

How do you feel once you are treated?

Most people feel relaxed and calm. The points around the ears, nose, hand and wrist are stimulated, and with stimulation, endorphins are released. Endorphins are the body’s natural feel-good hormones that  trigger a positive feeling in the body.

Are these results permanent and when will you feel the results?

Initial results can be felt hours after each session and you will feel the results for days. With every scheduled visit there is a cumulative effect so a whole new relief will be noticed.

Results are permanent for acute conditions where there is lesser damage to tissues or body organs. However, for some serious conditions, there is a possibility that some symptoms may reoccur. In these more severe cases it is suggested that a booster treatment be given twice a year.

With respect to smoking, because of the complexities of the psychological side of the addiction, no one can force you to stop smoking. We can however, help you eliminate the withdrawal and physical cravings with the use of the low level laser, allowing you to become a non-smoker in the easiest possible way. We will give you information to help eliminate your emotional desire to smoke and some nutritional guidelines to help you body to detoxify quickly. As long as you want to quit we can make it easy for you.

How many treatments should you undergo?

Of course, this depends upon the severity of the condition, your age, your general health and the length of time you’ve had the problem. The more serious the condition is, the more treatment will be required. Each client’s situation is unique and will usually require a number of treatments over a period of time. At the initial appointment and assessment, a number of sessions will be recommended.

Is it guaranteed?

We guarantee that we will provide our services as promised, however, we DO NOT offer a money back guarantee.

Need Stress & Anxiety Relief?

Almost everyone experiences stress at some point in their lives. Excessive stress is directly linked to anxiety and depression. The emotional effects of anxiety may include feelings of irritability, restlessness, trouble concentrating, feeling tense or jumpy, anticipating the worst, or even apprehension or dread.
Sound familiar?

When your stress levels become overwhelming your physical, psychological and emotional health are greatly compromised. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body and can lead to serious health problems. It can raise your blood pressure, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, and suppress your immune system.

Low level laser therapy is a most effective tool to help deal with stress and anxiety.

Low level laser therapy (LLLT) reduces feelings of stress and its associated physiological effects. It has a wonderfully calming and relaxing effect on the central and peripheral nervous systems and it promotes a feeling of relaxation and well-being by triggering the brain to restart the natural, normal release of endorphins in an easy and very consistent manner. The treatment also reduces unnecessary and potentially harmful over production of cortisone and adrenaline.

Low level lasers have been proven to be a remarkably safe, painless, and medication-free therapy option for many decades now. Isn’t it time for you to consider a new option?

Calgary Laserworks will help you jump-start your new, relaxed, centered life with low level laser therapy. Call at 403-301-3730 to learn more!

Does Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Work?

Low level lasers have been proven to be a remarkably safe, effective, painless, and medication-free therapy option for many decades now.

With low level laser, a visible coherent light is applied to specific acupuncture points of the body (ears, hands, feet, etc.). Acupuncture points are access points to the body’s energy path ways called “meridians”. This light energy passes through the layers of the skin at these points and is received within the cell membrane by specific receptors. This causes an increase in the energy in the cell which jump-starts changes that positively stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms to restore energy and re-balance the body.

Low level lasers are also known as “cold” lasers, meaning that they do not have a thermal effect and are used to stimulate tissue rather than destroy it. The “cold” laser does not cause any tissue damage because healthy cells exhibit weak or no effects from the low-power laser while unhealthy cells exhibit strong effects. Low level lasers have been in use since the 1960’s to help relieve a variety of conditions and no adverse side effects or negative impacts have been recorded.

Low Level Laser therapy promotes healing. It’s as simple as that!

Migraine Relief

Most of us have experienced a headache or two, but for those suffering from migraine headaches, life can be unbearable for the length of time the attack lasts. In fact for many, these intense migraine headaches can be debilitating to the point of not being able to participate in every day activities because of the severity of the pain.

Migraines are not normal headaches. Migraine is considered a neurological disease.

“Migraines are caused when blood vessels in the brain expand and press against nerves.”

There are many contributing factors and triggers of migraine from certain foods, alcohol (especially wine) medications, and missing sleep, to bright lights, intense physical exertion, weather or barometric pressure changes, and emotional factors such as stress, anxiety and depression, to name a few.

Calgary Laserworks Can Help with Low Level Laser Therapy (Cold Laser)

LLLT is more and more in demand for treating migraine headaches. Low level laser, instead of needles, targets key energy points on the body helping patients heal more quickly and with longer lasting results, allowing them to get back to their daily lives.

Low level laser therapy is a safe and non-drug alternative for pain control! Call 403-301-3730 for relief today.

Quit Smoking with Low Level Laser Therapy

Kick the habit – renew your life!

Low level laser operates on the principle similar to the 5,000 year old ancient Asian healing art of acupuncture. By focusing the laser to target energy points on the body, the intention is that this will stimulate the nerve endings so that the body is able to release natural chemicals called endorphins.

Endorphins have a calming, relaxing effect on the body that helps reduce nicotine and withdrawal symptoms. If the cravings produced by the cigarette addiction are reduced or eliminated the ability to withdraw without significant stress is improved.

Because of the complexities of the psychological side of the addiction, no one can force you to stop smoking, but we can help you eliminate the withdrawal and physical cravings with the use of the low level laser, allowing you to become a non-smoker in the easiest possible way. We will also give you information to help eliminate your emotional desire to smoke and some nutritional guidelines to help you body to detoxify quickly.

There are many ways to give up smoking, but low level laser therapy is a safe, easy, affordable and effective option to consider.

If you long to live a normal, healthy and smoke free lifestyle, it’s never too late to get started. Call Calgary Laserworks at 403-301-3730. As long as you want to quit we can make it easy for you. We’re here to help you succeed.

Are You Tired of Your Smoking Addiction?

If you’ve been smoking for many years and have tried to quit time and again, but now believe that there’s little or no chance that you ever could, PLEASE contact Calgary Laserworks. There actually is a way…

Low Level Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a non-medical procedure that uses low level laser beams to help promote the release of endorphins (brain chemicals) in the body helping to lower tensions and stress levels, as well as eliminate cravings for nicotine.

During the laser treatment energy points on the hands, face, and ears will be stimulated. The treatment is very calming, pain-free and leaves you with a sense of well-being.

Calgary Laserworks will help with the key aspects of nicotine addiction and the common symptoms associated with withdrawal – physical, psychological, appetite suppression and detoxification:

  • Physical – block the need for nicotine and eliminate most, if not all, of the physical cravings for nicotine
  • Psychological – reduce stress and anxiety by providing tools and techniques to help you deal with the psychological issues
  • Appetite Suppression – hunger is caused by the body adjusting to lack of appetite suppression from nicotine
  • Detoxification – eliminate the dangerous nicotine and toxins from your body quickly and safely

At Calgary Laserworks we do not prescribe, we only suggest. We provide a list of supplements that will help the body eliminate nicotine and other toxins. The sooner all the poisons are removed from your body the sooner any residual cravings will disappear. The first 72 hours of quitting are considered to be a crucial detoxification period.

Technology has improved to the point where laser therapy is a safe, highly effective and affordable way to quit smoking once and for all.

If you long to live a normal, healthy and smoke free lifestyle, it’s never too late to get started. Regain control…call 403-301-3730. We’re here to help you succeed.

Health & Happiness

HealthHow can Calgary Laserworks and Reflexology help with your health?

You’ve heard the expression, “If you don’t have your health you have nothing.”

Take it from those that are bed ridden or restricted to a wheel chair because of their health that this statement is true.

Studies have shown that stress has a huge effect on your health. Stress and worry can lead to immune system breakdown and heart related issues.

Smoking is another big factor in the state of your health. It causes lung disease, cancer, emphysema and coronary breakdown.

Studies also show that being thankful and happy can reduce stress.

It is known that 50% of our inclination to be happy is genetic, something you can’t effect very much, 10% is based on surroundings (job, money and family) and 40% is “deliberate action”. Deliberate actions are things we can control through behaviour.

We asked the question, how can Calgary Laserworks and Reflexology help with your health?

It can help you stop smoking, reduce stress, it can help you relax, it can improve your immune system and much more.

Be grateful you are improving your health.
