Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Low Intensity Laser Therapy or photobiostimulation is healing with light. Laser Therapy has repeatedly demonstrated that it can alleviate pain and promote tissue repair, without affecting normal tissue.

At Achieve Wellness Centre, we use Bioflex Laser Therapy systems, considered to be the industry gold standard with its scientifically developed and clinically tested protocols. The unique design of the arrays allows treatment of a large surface area. It is fully customizable to fit a patient’s specific needs. It is FDA and Health Canada approved and is used in over 52 countries.

The special light arrays are placed directly on the body. The light energy penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by photoreceptors within the mitochondria. The light energy is converted into biochemical energy by creating ATP (adenosine triphosphate), causing restoration of normal cell function. This also enhances the body’s natural healing processes. Laser Therapy reduces pain and is curative rather than modulating symptoms.

Laser is used to treat muscles, tendons, cartilage, nerves, bones, skin, connective tissue and joints. Most professional sports teams have practitioners who use lasers to help their athletes perform optimally and recover faster from injuries.

More recently, we have been treating patients with long Covid symptoms with very good results. Headaches, brain fog, swallowing difficulties, congestion and fatigue symptoms have cleared.

Laser is non-invasive, highly effective, non-toxic and safe. Some conditions treated include:

* Muscle / Ligament Tears * Long Covid
* Contusions
* Osteoarthritis
* Calcifications (e.g. bone spurs)
* Degenerative Disc Disease
* Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
* Rotator Cuff Injuries

Laser Therapy Testimonials

Laser Therapy Testimonials

I have been using laser treatment from Marilyn for 2 ½ years. Her treatment has kept me going whether it’s my knees, lower back or neck. Marilyn’s treatments have been amazing for me. I have had calcium deposits on the back of my heels for years, the laser treatments have totally removed them! For me laser has worked.


- Ken M.

I have been receiving laser treatments from Marilyn for about two years. I have been suffering from intense lower back pain. Marilyn suggested I try laser treatments. I feel that adding laser treatments to my exercise program and massage therapy helped to significantly reduce my back pain. I can presently walk two miles pain free and am able to sleep through the night without being awakened by back pain.


- Anne N.

I was recovering from two knee replacement surgeries in the last two years. I was so thankful to be able to walk free of the pain I had for a long time. It was very disappointing when I started having pain in the heel area of my foot, affecting my walking. I mentioned my pain to Marilyn when there for a massage and she said my problem is plantar fasciitis and suggested laser treatments. I agreed to try it and healing took place within six treatments. Thanks Marilyn for caring and introducing me to laser treatments.


- Karen B.

For over two years I suffered with pain in my right hip and down my right leg, not able to sit for more than a few minutes at a time, and always had nagging pain. After trying everything we could think of, someone told us about Marilyn and her laser treatments. At this point, I had nothing to lose. After only 8 treatments with Marilyn, I have almost no pain and can sit endlessly. I would highly recommend Marilyn's laser treatments for anyone suffering from chronic pain.


- Mike W.


Cold sore life span is noticeably decreased by Marilyn’s laser treatment. But this time we caught it while it was still in that itchy, burning, below the surface stage. Now I know that two quick treatments over two days can actually kill the cold sore before it even erupts. Amazing, Marilyn! Thanks for squeezing in those last minute treatments.
