70% of our clients experience relief in as little as ONE session, such as reduced inflammation, pain, and tingling. Most often, results are experienced within 1-4 sessions.

Our Class IV, high, powered, infrared light laser therapy can dramatically help to relieve your pain and actually heal your tennis elbow. The laser stimulates the cells of your soft tissues (including tendons, muscles, nerves, and ligaments) to function more efficiently and heal themselves through a series of reactions. Laser therapy helps to:

Increase blood flow
Decrease inflammation and pain
Correct nerve damage and signaling
Break down scar tissue
Regenerate cells to heal tissue damage

Laser Therapy & Rotator Cuff

Rotator cuff tears are a common injury that can cause significant pain, weakness, and restricted movement in the shoulder. While traditional treatments such as rest, physical therapy, injections, and surgery can help, they often require lengthy recovery times and may not fully restore function. At Healios Laser Therapy, we offer a cutting-edge solution—a Class IV cold laser device that delivers advanced, non-invasive treatment for faster healing and lasting relief.

This state-of-the-art device combines multi-wavelength technology, deep tissue penetration, and enhanced cellular stimulation to target pain and inflammation at the source, accelerating recovery and improving shoulder function without surgery or medication.

Understanding Rotator Cuff Tears

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and help lift and rotate the arm. Tears can occur due to trauma, repetitive stress, or degeneration from aging. Common symptoms include shoulder pain, weakness, limited range of motion, and difficulty with overhead activities.

Rotator cuff tears are classified into two main types:

Partial Tears – The tendon is frayed or damaged but not completely severed.
Full-Thickness Tears – The tendon is completely torn, often requiring more extensive treatment.

How Our Laser Device Works

Our FDA-cleared Class IV cold laser device delivers high-powered, continuous wave infrared light that penetrates deep into tissues without overheating or damaging the skin. This multi-wavelength system combines various light frequencies to optimize tissue penetration and maximize cellular stimulation. The laser’s primary goal is to enhance mitochondrial activity, which increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production—the energy source for cells—thereby accelerating tissue repair and reducing inflammation (Hamblin, 2017).

Key Benefits of Laser Therapy for Rotator Cuff Tears

Deep Tissue Penetration for Rotator Cuff Tendons
The laser penetrates up to 7 inches deep, reaching the rotator cuff tendons, surrounding muscles, and ligaments. This ensures that the treatment targets the specific damaged structures in the shoulder, addressing the root cause of pain and dysfunction—not just surface-level symptoms.
Reduces Inflammation and Swelling in the Shoulder
Inflammation in rotator cuff injuries can cause significant pain and impair movement. The laser reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, helping to calm inflamed tendons and muscles, improving shoulder mobility and accelerating recovery (Aimbire et al., 2006).
Non-Invasive Pain Relief for Rotator Cuff Tears
The cold laser provides fast pain relief without the need for painkillers, injections, or surgery. It modulates nerve activity, reducing pain perception while stimulating the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain relievers.
Promotes Tendon Healing and Regeneration
By increasing ATP production, the laser enhances cellular repair and promotes collagen synthesis in the damaged rotator cuff tendons. This accelerates tissue regeneration, improving the healing process for both partial and full-thickness tears.
Improves Blood Flow and Oxygenation in the Shoulder Joint
Enhanced circulation delivers critical nutrients and oxygen to the injured tendons and muscles, promoting healing while flushing out cellular waste. This improved blood flow also helps reduce joint stiffness and restores range of motion (Khanna et al., 2010).

Why Our Laser Device is Different

This advanced laser system is specifically designed for safe, comfortable, and efficient treatment. Each session lasts just a few minutes, making it easy for patients to incorporate into their busy schedules. Unlike other devices, which may only provide surface-level relief, our laser’s super-pulsed technology ensures deep penetration without overheating the skin, allowing for powerful therapeutic effects while remaining painless and side-effect-free.

The device’s versatility allows it to treat not just rotator cuff injuries but also a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, nerve damage, and post-surgical recovery.

The Healios Laser Therapy Experience

At Healios Laser Therapy, we personalize every treatment plan based on the patient’s specific condition and needs. Our Class IV cold laser device combines the best in modern technology to reduce pain, restore mobility, and support long-term healing. 70% of our clients experience noticeable relief after just one session, with most patients seeing significant improvement within 1 to 4 sessions.

Our advanced system’s fast, efficient treatments mean less time in therapy and more time returning to the activities you love. Whether it’s lifting, reaching, or performing overhead tasks, our goal is to help you regain full function of your shoulder.

Conclusion

If shoulder pain from a rotator cuff tear is holding you back, Healios Laser Therapy offers a non-invasive, highly effective solution. Our Class IV cold laser device promotes faster healing, reduces inflammation, and restores function, helping you get back to your life pain-free.
