At West Henday Physical Therapy, laser therapy in Edmonton is more than a high-tech tool it’s a comfortable, non-invasive treatment designed to help relieve pain, minimize inflammation, and promote healing at the cellular level. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or dealing with post-surgical stiffness, this safe, targeted approach can be a meaningful part of your recovery journey.
We often hear questions like:
“Can laser therapy help with my chronic pain or inflammation?”
“What does the treatment feel like—will it hurt?”
“How many sessions will I need to see results?”
“Is this safe for my joint or surgical site?”
“Is laser therapy in Edmonton covered by insurance or physiotherapy benefits?”
If you’re asking similar questions, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place to find answers.
Laser therapy, also called low-level light therapy (LLLT) or class IV laser therapy, uses focused light energy to induce cellular repair and accelerate the body’s natural healing response. It targets tissues deep beneath the skin’s surface—reaching muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints—without breaking the skin or causing discomfort.
This is a painless treatment. Most people feel a mild warmth or tingling during the session, but many leave feeling more relaxed and less tense.

At West Henday Physical Therapy, we use Class IV laser therapy as part of a customized care plan focused on tissue healing, pain relief, and inflammation reduction. These proven laser techniques are tailored to your condition:
Our high-powered Class IV laser penetrates deeply into muscle and joint tissues. This promotes faster healing by stimulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and encouraging cellular repair—ideal for both acute injuries and chronic pain.
Your therapist selects the appropriate mode based on the nature and depth of your condition.
Laser energy is applied using a handheld device that targets the exact area of concern. We adjust the dosage, depth, and duration based on your tissue type and treatment goals. Sessions usually last 5 to 15 minutes per region, ensuring a safe and efficient experience.
Laser therapy is effective when combined with other therapeutic approaches. At West Henday Physical Therapy, we incorporate it alongside:
This well-rounded model ensures you’re not just relieving symptoms but also building a path toward long-term recovery.
From the moment you walk in, your comfort and care come first.
We begin by assessing your condition, symptoms, and goals. This helps determine how laser therapy fits into your recovery plan.
The handheld laser is applied directly to the skin over the affected region. You may feel a mild, soothing warmth, but there is no pain or downtime afterward.
We track your response and adjust intensity or frequency as needed. Most clients feel relief within 2–6 sessions, though chronic conditions may benefit from a longer course.
