Class 4 Laser Therapy: The #1 Advanced Treatment for Shoulder Pain in Christchurch
When shoulder pain starts limiting your daily life — whether it’s reaching overhead, lifting weights, or even sleeping comfortably — you need more than generic exercises or temporary pain relief.
At Musculoskeletal Solutions Christchurch, we specialise in advanced Class 4 Laser Therapy, the most powerful non-invasive treatment for musculoskeletal shoulder pain available today.
This cutting-edge technology delivers deep, penetrating light energy into injured tissues — accelerating cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and restoring mobility faster than conventional methods.

Why Shoulder Pain Happens
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body — but also one of the most vulnerable. Common issues include:
Rotator cuff tears or inflammation
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Bursitis and tendonitis
Arthritic degeneration
Postural strain or overuse injuries
Each of these involves inflammation, restricted blood flow, and microscopic tissue damage — exactly what Class 4 Laser Therapy is designed to reverse.
Why Class 4 Laser Therapy Outperforms Other Treatments
Traditional pain management often focuses on suppressing symptoms.Class 4 Laser Therapy when in the hannds of Musculoskeletal Professional (should never be used by untrained individual less than medical - very powerful machine can do damage if technician has no indepth understanding of Musculoskeletal system) treats the source — deep within muscles, tendons, and connective tissue — stimulating the body’s own repair mechanisms.
Clinical benefits include:
Rapid reduction in inflammation and swelling
Enhanced tissue regeneration and collagen production
Restoration of range of motion
Accelerated healing of shoulder tendons, ligaments, and joints
Noticeable pain reduction after just one or two sessions
Unlike drugs or injections, laser therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and has no downtime — making it ideal for both athletes and chronic pain sufferers.
How It Works
During treatment, the Class 4 laser emits precise wavelengths of red and near-infrared light into the shoulder. These photons penetrate deep into tissue layers — up to 10 cm — where they trigger photobiomodulation, a process that:
Increases ATP energy within cells
Boosts microcirculation and oxygen delivery
Reduces nerve sensitivity
Accelerates the repair of damaged tissue
The result?Pain fades, stiffness decreases, and mobility returns naturally.
