Calgary Laserworks can help with stress & anxiety relief

Stress and anxiety can interrupt the smooth flow of energy throughout the body. Laser therapy has been shown to help the energy flow smoothly. By targeting energy points associated with stress and anxiety, you will feel the tension leave your body as the laser stimulates the release of endorphins – those natural “feel-good” chemicals – creating a feeling of well-being.

The calming nature of laser therapy is known to:

  • decrease heart rate
  • lower blood pressure
  • relax the muscles
  • ultimately…
    reducing stress & lowering anxiety

It’s important to keep in mind that stress is part of all our lives. It’s when it becomes chronic and out of control that it can become a problem. How you manage your stress and anxiety is what will make the difference to a happier, healthier life.

Let Calgary Laserworks help you manage the overwhelming effects of stress and anxiety. Contact us today for a FREE consultation at 403-301-3730.

According to the Canadian Lung Association COPD is short for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. COPD is an umbrella term used to describe progressive lung diseases including emphysema, chronic bronchitis and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. This disease is characterized by increasing breathlessness.

While COPD is a disease commonly caused by smoking, and there is currently no cure, you can slow the progression of COPD and improve your lung function by quitting smoking.

Some COPD facts:

  • Six times as many men as women die of COPD
  • There are over 1.5 million Canadians who are diagnosed with COPD
  • As many as 1.6 million Canadians may have COPD but remain undiagnosed
  • The primary cause of COPD is long-term cigarette smoking
  • Other irritants can cause COPD , including  secondhand smoke, cigar smoke, pipe smoke, air pollution and workplace exposure to dust, smoke or fumes

The good news is that laser treatments can help you quit smoking and help you get on with the important business of improving your quality of life.

Don’t suffer any longer. Laser therapy is safe, easy, affordable and effective.

Seek wellness…

“Health is a state of body. Wellness is a state of being.” – J. Stanford

The best approach to wellness is to seek options that contribute to an optimal state of well being, not just a state of ‘survival’. Here at Calgary Laserworks we have found great long-term success using Low Level Laser (cold laser) for treatments such as smoking cessation, migraines, stress, anxiety and more. We are 100% committed to helping you reach your goals and in motivating you to live a healthier, happier life.

Laser therapy operates on the principle similar to acupuncture, the 5000 year old ancient art of healing, but without needles. We use a Low Level Laser instead of needles to target key energy points on the body. These points are found around the ears, nose, hand and wrist and when stimulated endorphins (the body’s natural feel-good hormones) are released. Endorphins have a natural calming, relaxing effect on the body which enhance the chance of healing success.

The procedures are non-invasive, non-thermal, safe, pain-free, affordable, and research indicates that Low Level Laser therapy has great results! The number of treatments will vary with regard to the individual problem. Since each patient and condition responds to laser therapy differently, some patients feel improvement right from the start, but it is common that lasting improvement is noticeable after a series of visits.

Contact us today to discuss how we can help you improve your life. We look forward to treating you!

LLLT therapy promotes healing – simple as that!

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

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.

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

If you’re struggling with migraines, stress and anxiety, weight control, or if you’ve been trying to quit smoking without any success, we can definitely help.

Get in touch today. Call 403-301-3730 for a free consultation and discover how low level laser therapy can be put to work so that you can get control over your life again!

Calgary Laserworks & Reflexology = Improved Health

You’ve heard the expression, “If you don’t have your health you have nothing.” Take it from those who are bedridden or restricted to a wheelchair 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.

Studies also show that being grateful and happy can reduce stress and anxiety. For example, it is known that 50% of our inclination to be happy is genetic (something you can’t affect very much), 10% is based on your surroundings/life circumstances (family, career, finances), and 40% is “deliberate action”. Deliberate actions are things we can control through our behaviour.

So how can Reflexology therapy with Calgary Laserworks help improve your health? By providing the following benefits!

Stress Reduction

When we are stressed our body’s defences break down and we become more susceptible to illness and disease. Reflexology can assist in reducing stress by generating deep tranquil relaxation, helping the body balance itself and allowing healing energy to flow.

Improved Circulation

Blood needs to flow freely throughout the body carrying oxygen and nutrients to all the cells and removing the waste products of metabolism and other toxins. By reducing stress and tension, reflexology allows the cardiovascular vessels to conduct the flow of blood naturally and easily.

Improved Immune System

Reflexology stimulates the lymphatic system thus reducing risk of infection. It cleanses the body of toxins and impurities and also stimulates the production of endorphins, leading to an improved immune system and sense of well-being.

Increased Energy

Reflexology revitalizes energy throughout the body by relaxing and opening up the energy pathways.

By taking deliberate action and choosing reflexology you can begin improving your health today! Give us a call today at 403-301-3730 to discover how laser treatments can help.

Cold laser therapy – alternative method of pain relief

Cold laser therapy or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used for years on patients seeking effective, alternative methods of pain relief. In fact, cold laser procedures are an excellent option for patients who require treatment, but who prefer to avoid medication or invasive treatments.

Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive procedure meaning that it does not heat or cut the tissue, unlike high intensity lasers. This means that there is no prolonged recovery time. The laser works at a cellular level by utilizing specific wavelengths of light to interact with your tissue which helps to accelerate your body’s natural healing mechanism.

Cold laser therapy has been used to treat a broad range of both acute and chronic conditions including migraine headaches, neck, back and knee pain, arthritis, sports injuries, frozen shoulder, tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, to name a few.

Cold laser therapy does not mask pain or only address the symptoms of the disease like many pharmacological treatments. It treats the underlying condition to promote healing. This means that the benefits of cold laser therapy gives maximum opportunity for repairing damaged tissue in the shortest amount of time.

Cold laser therapy can be easily administered. The cold lasers are handheld devices often the size of a flashlight. Clinicians place the laser directly over the affected area for 30 seconds to several minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated and the dose provided by the cold laser unit. It is quick and painless!

Please note that cold laser therapy has definitely shown major benefits for chronic pain sufferers, but the healing response time may not be as quick as when compared to acute sufferers. While each session only takes a few minutes, it may take a series of treatments before you can gauge its effectiveness.

Overall, cold laser therapy can help eliminate pain, swelling, reduce spasms and increase functionality, thereby relieving those pain-filled days and sleepless nights, ultimately giving you your life back.

Call us here at Calgary Laserworks today to discuss how we can help alleviate your pain.
