Laser Therapy

Gentle Light. Deep Relief. Real Results.

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.

Wondering If Laser Therapy Can Help?

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.

What Is Laser Therapy, and How Does It Work?

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.

Conditions Treated With Laser Therapy

We use laser therapy in Edmonton to support clients with a broader range of concerns, including:

  • Tendonitis and tendinopathy (e.g., Achilles, rotator cuff, tennis elbow)
  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
  • Arthritis and joint degeneration

  • Sprains, strains, and repetitive stress injuries

Techniques We Use in Laser Therapy

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:

Class IV Laser Technology

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.

Pulsed and Continuous Wave Modes

  • Pulsed Mode is used for sensitive or recently injured areas, minimizing thermal buildup while delivering effective energy.
  • Continuous Wave Mode allows deeper penetration and is beneficial for widespread or stubborn inflammation.

Your therapist selects the appropriate mode based on the nature and depth of your condition.

Delivering Laser Therapy with Care and Precision

Precision-Guided Application

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.

Integrated Into a Broader Recovery Plan

Laser therapy is effective when combined with other therapeutic approaches. At West Henday Physical Therapy, we incorporate it alongside:

  • Manual therapy to improve mobility
  • Exercise therapy to support tissue strength
  • Taping or dry needling for added muscle balance
  • Education to help you manage pain and movement at home

This well-rounded model ensures you’re not just relieving symptoms but also building a path toward long-term recovery.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

From the moment you walk in, your comfort and care come first.

Consultation & Assessment

We begin by assessing your condition, symptoms, and goals. This helps determine how laser therapy fits into your recovery plan.

Safe, Painless Treatment

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.

Ongoing Monitoring

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.
