Shoulder pain is a common complaint caused by muscle strain, tendonitis, borsite, artrite, or rotator cuff injuries. It can limit mobility and affect daily activities. Traditional treatments include pain medication, physical therapy, or steroid injections.
Recently, terapia con luce rossa (RLT) has gained attention as a non invasivo, drug-free option for reducing shoulder pain and promoting healing. But is it effective?
How Red Light Therapy Works for Shoulder Pain
Usi della terapia con luce rossa specific wavelengths of red (630–660 nm) e luce a infrarossi vicino (810–850 nm) that penetrate deep into tissues. This light is absorbed by mitocondri, enhancing Produzione ATP and promoting cellular repair.
For shoulder pain, RLT can help:
- 🌿 Ridurre l'infiammazione in muscles, tendini, e articolazioni
- 💡 Alleviare il dolore by modulating nerve activity
- 🔋 Accelerate tissue repair, helping damaged muscles or tendons heal faster
- ❤️ Migliora la circolazione sanguigna, supplying oxygen and nutrients to affected areas
Scientific Evidence
Clinical studies support red light therapy for musculoskeletal pain:
- 📚 A study in Lasers in Medical Science found that terapia laser a basso livello (LLLT) significantly reduced shoulder pain and inflammation in patients with tendonitis.
- 🔬 Red light therapy has been shown to enhance healing of soft tissues, including rotator cuff injuries and muscle strains.
- 💡 RLT is commonly used in physical therapy clinics, sports medicine, and rehabilitation centers to support recovery from chronic or acute shoulder injuries.
How to Use Red Light Therapy for Shoulder Pain
- Durata della sessione: 10–20 minutes per affected shoulder
- Frequenza: 3–5 times per week until pain relief is achieved
- Device type: Red light pads, dispositivi portatili, or MERICAN professional therapy beds
- Combination: Abbinare stretching, physiotherapy, or gentle exercise for best results
MERICAN’s red light therapy systems provide precise, medical-grade wavelengths for deep tissue penetration, offering safe and effective relief.

Red light therapy is non invasivo, UV-free, and drug-free, making it safe for most users. Precautions include:
- Avoid use on open wounds or infections
- Consult a doctor for severe shoulder injuries or underlying conditions
- Follow device guidelines for exposure time and distance
Conclusione
COSÌ, is red light therapy good for shoulder pain?
SÌ. By riducendo l'infiammazione, relieving pain, e promuovere la riparazione dei tessuti, red light therapy is a safe and effective complementary therapy for shoulder discomfort.
