In a word: Lasers!  While I cannot treat your shoulder, I can tell you that nothing has worked better on my shoulder to relieve my muscular pain than laser treatment!

Lasers. One thing I have found out about lasers is that there is a lot of hype about lasers. It is extremely difficult to separate what is advertising hyperbole from what is fact. I think laser manufacturers can get away with a lot of advertising hype because of the way lasers work. I have found there are few immediate  results from the laser. Laser treatment is completely comfortable – just a mild warmth is felt. A day or two after laser treatment you start to notice that the pain you had is now gone.  Many medical treatments we get show a quicker result. When you get an injection to put something to sleep for example the results are  quick and dramatic. The laser produces results that are gradual and also cumulative. If the laser treatment is done several times a week it seems to be much more effective. There is also an art to applying laser therapy. If too high a dose of laser energy is used it seems to not work at all - or even make the area more painful. Too  little laser energy does nothing.

We have been using what I consider to be the most versatile and one of the most powerful lasers on the market. We have tested other lasers but found the one we use to be the most effective.

Currently, Laser treatment is considered “experimental” by insurance companies and they do not pay for it. Laser has worked for my patients’ plantar fascitis, neuromas etc. – and my shoulder. I strongly believe in laser therapy and want anyone who needs laser therapy to be able to afford to get it.  We are offering laser therapy to our established patients for a limited time at  $20  per foot per treatment. (Only feet please!)
