Is Low-Intensity Laser Therapy Right for You?

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also referred to as Cold Laser Therapy, is a CSA-approved low-intensity laser treatment that operates on the principle similar to acupuncture.

Each treatment typically takes approximately an hour. The total number of treatments is dependent upon many factors which will be evaluated by your certified laser technician. During treatment you’ll feel the laser device touching your skin, but the procedure is painless and noninvasive.

LLLT is as safe as it is effective and no serious side effects have been reported with this form of light therapy. It can be a good alternative for people who want to avoid invasive treatments.

Make 2019 your best year yet!

So, deep breathe through the nose, long exhale through the mouth and repeat…

Ahhhh…another holiday season has come and gone. So much love and laughter, but so much work and stress and worry that it can knock the life right out of you, taking a detrimental toll on your health.

If you find yourself searching for an easy-to-keep resolution this new year to help you improve your overall health, low level laser therapy may be just what you need. LLLT is:

  • Safe
  • Easy
  • Affordable
  • Effective

Studies have shown that any number of things can have a detrimental effect on your health but stress and anxiety are in the top 5 and can lead to immune system break down.

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

So how can Calgary Laserworks help with your health?

We can help you take deliberate actions! We’ll help you reduce stress and anxiety, reduce headaches, help you relax, all which can improve your immune system and much, much more.

Choose healthy goals and feel good about meeting them this year by calling 403-301-3730!  You’ll be so grateful and proud of yourself for taking the steps to improve your health and well-being!

Time to try an alternative therapy for stress & anxiety relief?

If you’re struggling with stress and anxiety and have tried many different therapies without any success, here at Calgary Laserworks we can definitely help.

Low level laser therapy does not mask stress and anxiety symptoms like many pharmacological treatments. It treats the underlying condition to promote healing.

Low level lasers have been in use since the 1960’s to help relieve a variety of conditions. They have been proven to be a remarkably safe, effective, painless, and medication-free therapy option with no adverse side effects or negative impacts 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 pathways 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!

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!

10 Benefits of Reflexology

What is Reflexology anyway?

Reflexology is an ancient Chinese technique that uses pressure-point massage usually on the feet (but also on the hands and ears). It deals with the underlying principle that these pressure points or reflexes relate to every single cell of the body. Working these reflexes restores the flow of energy throughout the entire body and assists it in regaining or maintaining balance.

Reflexology was developed into a skillful, manual therapy thousands of years ago bringing many people relief and many benefits in their often fast-paced and stressful lifestyles. It is now considered a great form of preventative medicine. Since at least 75% of all our health problems can be linked to nervous stress, reflexology is a valuable tool for supporting the well-being of anyone.

10 Benefits of Reflexology:

  1. Improves circulation & nerve supply
  2. Releases physical & emotional stress
  3. Provides pain relief
  4. Helps the body eliminate toxins
  5. Decreases the number of headaches
  6. Relieves allergy symptoms
  7. Lessens fatigue & enhances energy
  8. Stimulates a healthier immune system
  9. Improves sleep & decreases insomnia
  10. Gives an overall sense of well-being

Reflexology is a very gentle, non-invasive form of healing and can bring immense relief and dramatic changes oftentimes in only a couple of sessions.

Isn’t it time to take care of “you”? Call 403-301-3730 today. You’ll discover that life can still be amazing.

Are the holidays already leaving you feeling stressed-out, tense or anxious?

Perhaps a little pre-Christmas treatment will help to ease the tension. Reflexology therapy is based on the principle that specific points and areas on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to specific organs and body systems. It is performed by applying thumb pressure to these points for healing.

Since your body is symmetrical, your left and right feet have reflex points corresponding to each side. For example, the left foot corresponds to the left side of the body and all organs and systems found there. The right foot corresponds to the right side of the body and all organs and systems found there.

By applying pressure to those specific areas, the reflexology practitioner is working to release congestion or stress in the nervous system and balance the body’s energy to promote benefits such as relaxation, improved circulation and normalized function in the related area of the body.

Consider a Reflexology appointment as a relaxing time-out or a preventative measure to support your overall wellness. Call 403-301-3730 to arrange your appointment today.

Suffering from stress & anxiety?

Stress and anxiety can interrupt the smooth flow of energy throughout the body. Low level laser therapy has actually been shown to help energy flow smoothly again, helping to reduce stress and lower anxiety.

The calming nature of laser therapy is known to decrease heart rate, lower blood pressure
and relax muscles. The laser stimulates the release of endorphins, those natural “feel-good” chemicals, creating a sense of overall well-being.

Low level laser treatments involve a cold, soft laser beam applied to specific energy points on the body (ears, hands, arms, wrist and feet). By targeting the energy points associated with stress and anxiety you will feel the tension leave your body.

While everyday stress is part of all our lives, and how we manage it contributes to our quality
of life, sometimes life’s circumstances can make stress and anxiety difficult to deal with on our own. Before your stress becomes chronic (long term) perhaps low level laser therapy is worth
a try. Once the dark & heavy feelings of stress are relieved you will feel more confident in your ability to cope with the challenges of life, and ultimately, a happier, healthier existence will be restored.

Call Calgary Laserworks at 403-301-3730 today so that we can help you jump-start the rest of your life!
