Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints among adults, often affecting sleep, work, and everyday movement. Many patients seek options that do not involve medication or invasive procedures, and some chiropractic providers are incorporating high-intensity medical laser therapy as part of a conservative care plan. At ReliefNow Laser Center–Plantation, Dr. Robert Hanopole, DC, says he frequently meets patients who are simply looking for something that feels safe, gentle, and focused on restoring mobility.
Shoulder pain can arise from overuse, rotator cuff irritation, tendonitis, arthritis, or general soft-tissue strain. “Most people just want to understand why their shoulder hurts and what they can try that doesn’t involve jumping straight to medication or surgical talk,” Dr. Hanopole explained. “Part of my role is to evaluate the pain, rule out red flags, and help patients understand all of their conservative options.”
One option some providers use is high-intensity medical laser therapy — a warm-light, non-invasive treatment sometimes described as a regenerative laser approach and referred to in research as photobiomodulation. According to peer-reviewed studies in Lasers in Medical Science and the Journal of Clinical Medicine, laser-based modalities may support circulation and local tissue metabolism for some patients experiencing musculoskeletal discomfort.¹ ²
Dr. Hanopole notes that while laser therapy is not a cure for underlying structural damage, many patients appreciate that the sessions are generally comfortable and drug-free. “People want to know what to expect. Sessions are typically brief, relaxing, and focused on comfort. For many, the biggest benefit is being able to move a little more easily afterward,” he said.
Common questions patients often ask include:• “Is shoulder pain normal as I age?” Not necessarily — persistent pain should be evaluated.
• “Can a laser really help with shoulder issues?” Some providers use medical lasers within a broader conservative plan; individual responses vary.
• “How long until I feel something?” Some patients notice changes quickly, while others experience gradual progress depending on the cause of the pain.
ReliefNow Laser Center–Plantation combines chiropractic assessment with evidence-informed, non-drug therapies. Dr. Hanopole emphasizes that any patient with severe pain, unexpected weakness, or a suspected tear should be evaluated promptly and may require diagnostic imaging.
