Laser therapy repairs on a cellular level.

Targets inflammation in shoulder joints and surrounding tissue.

Increases cellular energy (ATP) to support tissue repair.

Improves blood flow, accelerating recovery and reducing stiffness.

“Laser therapy is exceptionally well documented at the cellular level. When applied at the right wavelength, it stimulates mitochondrial activity, increases ATP production, and supports natural healing processes that can be measured and demonstrated in the lab.”

Scott Sigman, MD Orthopedic Surgeon Chief Medical Officer and Founder of OrthoLazer

“I genuinely believe an integrated treatment strategy using laser therapy—both after surgery and during conservative care—can dramatically impact recovery.”

Ryan Krupp, MD Orthopedic Surgeon OrthoLazer Surgeon Advisory Board Member

“In my practice, I’ve seen how integrating laser therapy into a treatment plan can help patients regain strength and mobility faster—often with less reliance on narcotics and other medications.”

Asheesh Gupta, MD Orthopedic Surgeon OrthoLazer Surgeon Advisory Board Member

“By applying laser therapy before a physical therapy session, we can significantly reduce pain and the pro-inflammatory cytokines that contribute to swelling.”

Mark Klaassen, MD Orthopedic Surgeon OrthoLazer Surgeon Advisory Board Member

“As part of my post-operative care, I encourage all of my patients to receive OrthoLazer PBM Therapy, the most advanced laser therapy, which helps patients recover faster from surgery by accelerating the body's natural healing response.”

William Pennington, MD Orthopedic Surgeon OrthoLazer Surgeon Advisory Board Member

“There is a growing body of evidence supporting the use of PBMT in musculoskeletal and orthopedic settings, and it is widely used in sports medicine to support recovery and rehabilitation. I have found it to be a valuable addition in helping athletes stay on track during the recovery process. ”

Ronak Patel, MD Orthopedic Surgeon OrthoLazer Surgeon Advisory Board Member

“In our patients that use laser therapy post surgery they come in with significantly less pain, swelling, bruising.”

TOP FAQS FROM OUR PATIENTS

Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Visit

We know you may have questions about how OrthoLazer PBM Therapy works, what to expect, and if it’s right for you.

How can laser therapy help with shoulder pain?

Laser therapy is a non-invasive shoulder pain treatment designed to reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and stimulate cellular repair. By targeting damaged tissue in the shoulder joint and surrounding muscles, it supports natural healing and provides long-term shoulder pain relief without drugs or surgery.

Why is my shoulder pain getting worse over time?

When shoulder pain is left untreated, inflammation and tissue irritation can worsen. Over time, this may lead to stiffness, reduced range of motion, and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm. Early shoulder therapy for pain can interrupt that cycle and support healing before the condition progresses.

What makes laser therapy effective for shoulder pain relief?

Unlike treatments that only mask symptoms, laser therapy works at the cellular level. It stimulates energy production within cells, enhances tissue repair, and reduces inflammation — helping provide lasting shoulder pain relief instead of temporary symptom suppression.

Why does my shoulder hurt even when I’m not using it?

Shoulder pain that occurs at rest may indicate chronic inflammation, rotator cuff irritation, or joint degeneration. Laser therapy supports deep tissue healing and helps reduce inflammation in the shoulder joint, which can relieve pain whether it occurs during activity or while resting.

Can laser therapy help with rotator cuff injuries or tendon inflammation?

Yes. Rotator cuff injuries and tendon inflammation are common causes of shoulder pain. Laser therapy improves circulation and stimulates tissue repair in the affected tendons and muscles, which may help reduce pain and restore shoulder mobility.

What causes shoulder pain when lifting my arm or reaching overhead?

Pain during lifting or overhead movement may be caused by rotator cuff strain, shoulder impingement, tendonitis, or joint inflammation. Laser therapy targets the inflamed tissues in the shoulder to help reduce swelling and support faster recovery.

Is laser therapy a good shoulder pain treatment alternative to injections or surgery?

Yes. For many patients, laser therapy serves as a conservative shoulder pain treatment option before considering injections or surgery. It’s non-invasive, requires no downtime, and works with the body’s natural healing process.

Who is a good candidate for laser shoulder pain treatment?

You may be a good candidate if you experience:

Rotator cuff injuries or tendonitis
Shoulder arthritis or joint inflammation
Pain when lifting or reaching overhead
Shoulder pain from sports or repetitive strain
Chronic shoulder stiffness or reduced mobility

How much does laser therapy cost?

The cost of laser therapy varies depending on severity, treatment plan length, and the number of sessions needed. During your consultation, we’ll assess your shoulder pain and create a personalized plan. Many patients find it more affordable long-term than injections or surgery.

Can I use my HSA on laser therapy for my shoulder?

In many cases, yes. Laser therapy for shoulder pain treatment may qualify as an eligible medical expense under HSA or FSA plans. We recommend checking with your provider, but we can provide documentation if needed.
