Muscle pain is one of the most common physical complaints among adults, affecting everything from work to sleep to everyday movement. While many causes of muscle pain resolve on their own, persistent soreness or tightness often leads people to seek non-drug support. At ReliefNow Laser Center–Plantation, Dr. Robert Hanopole, DC, says muscle pain is one of the top issues patients bring into his office.
Why Muscle Pain Happens
Muscle discomfort may arise from overuse, stress, injuries, posture imbalances, exercise strain, or soft-tissue irritation.“People often say, ‘I must have slept wrong,’ or ‘I pulled something,’ without realizing that muscle tension can build gradually and eventually affect mobility,” Dr. Hanopole shared. “A thorough evaluation helps identify whether the strain is simple or whether compensation patterns are contributing to ongoing irritation.”
How Medical Laser Therapy Fits Into Conservative Care
Some providers incorporate high-intensity medical laser therapy — a warm-light, non-invasive modality sometimes described as a regenerative laser approach and referenced in scientific literature as photobiomodulation — to help support local circulation and tissue metabolism.Peer-reviewed research, including publications in Lasers in Medical Science and the Journal of Clinical Medicine, notes that laser-based treatments may offer comfort for certain musculoskeletal conditions when used appropriately within a conservative plan.¹ ²
“People are often surprised that laser sessions are gentle and soothing,” Dr. Hanopole said. “The goal isn’t to override the body but to support natural recovery while reducing tension.”
What Patients Most Often Ask
“How do I know if it’s just muscle soreness or something more serious?” Muscle soreness that improves with gentle movement is common. Persistent sharp pain, swelling, or reduced function should be evaluated.
“Can laser therapy help muscle knots or tight areas?” Some individuals report improved comfort after laser sessions, though responses vary.
“How quickly does it work?” Many people notice gradual relief over several sessions, but timing depends on the cause and how long symptoms have been present.
When to Seek Evaluation
Dr. Hanopole recommends that patients seek prompt evaluation if muscle pain follows a fall or injury, includes sudden weakness, or does not improve with rest.“Muscle discomfort is common, but ongoing pain shouldn’t be ignored,” he advised. “A careful assessment helps determine whether the issue is simple strain or if deeper structures are involved.”
