Shoulder pain can affect everyday activities such as reaching, lifting, exercising, getting dressed, or sleeping comfortably. Common causes include rotator cuff tendinopathy, shoulder bursitis, muscle strains, and other conditions affecting the shoulder joint and surrounding tissues.
Can cold laser therapy help with shoulder pain? What does the research say?
Cold laser therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to influence cellular processes within targeted tissues.
Research suggests that cold laser therapy may help reduce pain and improve shoulder function in certain musculoskeletal conditions, particularly some tendon-related problems. However, results vary depending on the condition, treatment settings, and individual response.
Cold laser therapy may be considered alongside other management strategies, including:
Shoulder mobility exercises
Rotator cuff strengthening
Activity and workload modifications
Rehabilitation and movement advice
