OrthoLazer

What OrthoLazer does

OrthoLazer operates a national network of orthopedic wellness centers delivering photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy to reduce musculoskeletal pain and inflammation without drugs, injections, or surgery. Founded in 2018-2019 by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Scott Sigman in response to the opioid epidemic, the company serves individual patients suffering from acute injuries, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, and arthritis, as well as orthopedic surgeons and physical therapy practices that refer patients as part of conservative care protocols. Treatment modules are organized by body area (knee, hip, shoulder, neck and back, foot and ankle, hand and elbow) and the company has reported 32,000+ patients treated and 337,000+ treatments delivered with a 4.94 average rating.

The company's core technology is the FDA-cleared M8 Robotic Laser, a Class IV device designed exclusively for OrthoLazer that delivers synchronized therapeutic wavelengths of light to penetrate deep tissue structures and stimulate mitochondrial activity and ATP production. Treatment protocols are standardized across all locations and overseen by a 7-member Surgeon Advisory Board of orthopedic specialists, with OrthoLazer-certified technicians delivering 5-15 minute sessions. The company offers structured treatment packages — 6 sessions for acute/post-surgical cases at less than $500 and 12 sessions for chronic pain — priced as pay-as-you-go, not covered by insurance, but HSA/FSA eligible.

OrthoLazer launched as a franchise model that produced its first 17 centers, then transitioned to a company-owned model in 2024 to strengthen quality control and accelerate expansion. As of late 2025 the network includes 18+ centers across 15 U.S. states, with a stated goal of surpassing 100 locations nationwide. The company has raised approximately $10.15 million across two disclosed funding rounds in 2024 and 2025, appointed a new CEO (Kenny Hancock) in December 2025, and opened a new corporate headquarters and flagship center in Warsaw, Indiana — known as the 'Orthopedic Capital of the World.' Go-to-market relies on direct-to-consumer digital marketing, free consultations, and physician referral networks.
