Shoulder pain and injuries
Testimonials
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, which also makes it easy to injure. Common problems include rotator cuff strains and tears, tendonitis, bursitis, and frozen shoulder, where the joint capsule tightens and movement becomes very limited. Pain is often felt when reaching overhead or behind your back, and when lying on that side. Our therapists combine laser therapy and hands-on therapies to reduce pain and restore movement. Read what clients with shoulder problems have to say below.

I came to LaserHealth Solutions complaining about right shoulder pain that gradually developed over a 4 week period. I was having difficultly with raising my arm above my head and lying on my right side at night would keep me up when sleeping. I tried to fix the problem by taking Advil, which only temporally relieved the problem. I listened to the Doctors and the Laser Therapists and started icing and using the Traumeel that was prescribed to me. After my 5th laser treatment I noticed some improvement. I had a total of 10 treatments and now I can happily report that I am 100% better and I can get a decent nights sleep without waking up in pain.
Thanks to everyone at LaserHealth Solutions. I know exactly where I am going to go if something starts to pain me again.

On December 2, 2007 I was in a car accident and ended up injuring my right shoulder. I soon found it difficult to sleep at night because of the pain from lying on my shoulder. I love my grand kids and soon found it very difficult to lift them up without my shoulder hurting.
My wife had some laser treatment at LaserHealth Solutions and so I thought I would give it a try. After a series of 16 treatments the healing in my shoulder has been remarkable. I am not 100%, but at about 80%. I am able to sleep at night and most importantly I am able to pick up my grand kids without hesitation. My shoulder is less tender and my mobility has improved as well. I would like to say thanks to all those who helped me at LaserHealth Solutions.

Ironically, to avoid a carpal tunnel wrist injury my "ergonomic position" resulted in a chronic shoulder injury. At times I could hardly lift my right arm without significant pain. I sought medical advice and it came in the form of x-rays, medicated lotions, extensive physiotherapy and steroid injections. After three years it became manageable but never disappeared off my "pain radar screen".
My personal wake up call came after I semi-retired with my new found youth and decided to do 2 days of landscaping around the yard. Big mistake! My neck was injured from lifting sod and I felt my head was going to fall off!
Living with a shoulder injury is one thing but the prospect of living with a neck injury was a real wake up call for me! It was no different than if I had had a heart attack!
I got medical advice in the form of a neck x-ray which showed minor joint deterioration in two joints. I left the doctors office dejected with advice to take Tylenol for Arthritis Pain!
It was at this time, I decided to chart a new course for my soft tissue injuries with therapy at LaserHealth Solutions. It started with an assessment and a recommended plan to undergo 12 therapy sessions covering both my neck and shoulder. The large number of treatments was based on the chronic nature of the neck injury and the nerve linkage with my injured shoulder.
The frequency of my 45 minute therapy sessions included:
- 3 treatments/week during the first 2 weeks
- 2 treatments/week for next 2 weeks
- 1 treatment/week for last 2 weeks.
There was a noticeable improvement in my shoulder in the first week and a real breakthrough on my neck pain on the 9th treatment. It gave me the confidence to schedule a week‘s holiday at the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. It was the 12th treatment that left me with no lingering fears of not being able to sustain my new healthy state. So I am off snorkeling!
I have no doubts that I will be back for "tune-up" treatments over time as further joint deterioration is a reality with natural aging. But I know I have a team of professionals at LaserHealth Solutions working in my best interests and capable of responding to my long term soft tissue and pain health needs!
I would like to thank Blaine, Cheryl, Janet and Suzanne for their skills and motivation to get me back on the course to recovery!

I dislocated my shoulder playing flag football and was recommended by a friend to try LaserHealth Solutions. My experience with LaserHealth Solutions has been excellent, not only do they have great staff, but also a great product. My recovery time has been quick and much appreciated as I have very little down time due to my job in the fire service. Thanks Dr. Rob and staff for my speedy recovery.

My right shoulder has been causing me pain after intense long runs and during heavy lifting such as bench press. After a few weeks of Laser Therapy my shoulder has improved a lot, allowing me to double the length of my runs and feeling less than half the pain I used to. Bench press no longer stands as a problem as well.

One Saturday morning in November of 2000, I was perched on top of an extension ladder painting the cathedral ceiling in my living room. I suddenly felt the ladder begin to slip off the beam that it was resting against. I fell 10 feet, sustaining a compound fracture in my left wrist as well as a dislocated elbow and shoulder. My orthopedic surgeon warned me to expect a future of limited mobility and arthritis. I never regained full range of motion and experienced constant dull pain in my shoulder and numbness in my left hand.
In September, I slipped and stopped short of hitting the ground by breaking my fall with, you guessed it, my left arm. I really thought that I had broken it all over again. I mentioned my fall to Dr. Rob during a subsequent visit for a chiropractic adjustment. He recommended that I try some laser treatments on my shoulder.
My progress was slow and subtle, but by the tenth treatment I felt like I had great range of motion, less pain and numbness, and significantly better blood flow in my left arm. My left hand, which had always seemed cold, is now as warm as my right hand. The technicians were very considerate and eager to answer questions that I had concerning the treatment. It was a very positive experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laser Therapy.

Back in March 28, I started experiencing pain in my right shoulder. I have no idea what had triggered or caused it. It was a mystery. My family doctor only gave me pain killers. I got an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon who thought it was rotator cuff inflammation. He gave me 2 cortisone shots that had no effect. He scheduled me for an MRI which is not until March 29. I got tired of taking pain killers for 9 months. After 3 treatments at LaserHealth Solutions, I stopped taking pain killers. I just hope that these treatments will give me some respite for sure in the short term and hopefully in the long term.

I was suffering for 3 days with left shoulder pain when I first came in to see Dr. Rob at LaserHealth Solutions. The acute pain was so intense that it limited my movement in most directions and sleeping was horrible. Advil didn't help at all. Because it was an acute injury they suggested 3 - 6 treatments. After my second the pain was almost gone. After my third, the pain was eliminated and I had full range of motion again.
Thank You LaserHealth Solutions!

I had pain in my shoulder for about 7 months before my first appointment at LaserHealth Solutions. I was unable to sleep on my left side and had difficulty golfing. After 22 treatments on my left shoulder, I can spend pretty much an entire day and not notice my shoulder. All the therapists are caring, thorough and have an excellent approach to treatment. The ambiance in general at LaserHealth Solutions is very patient friendly.

Nearly 3 weeks ago I dislocated my shoulder playing hockey. I was told by the ER doctor to keep my arm in the sling for about 3 weeks and to not do any physical activity for at least 6 weeks. Already knowing about the success of Laser Therapy from a past injury I started with Dr. Rob right away. After 5 treatments over about a week and a half my arm was out of my sling and starting to regain mobility. With no pain, I plan to return to hockey after only missing 2 weeks. It WORKS!!!! Thanks Dr. Rob and everyone at LaserHealth Solutions!

I would like to take this opportunity to highly recommend LaserHealth Solutions. Prior to commencing treatment I was having recurring pain in my shoulder, which left me unable to perform even the most routine daily chores. My physician prescribed medication which did not solve the problem. Since undergoing Laser Therapy I now find my shoulder is back to normal and I am even back to doing my regular exercise regime. I cannot thank the staff at LaserHealth Solutions enough.
