If you’re tired of dealing with pain and inflammation, you’ve probably wondered: does MLS Laser Therapy really work?
This cutting-edge treatment is gaining attention as a painless and non-invasive alternative to surgeries and injections. With its ability to deliver fast, lasting results for a variety of conditions, MLS Laser Therapy could be just what you need to get back on your feet.
What Is MLS Laser Therapy?
Using a patented robotic laser system, MLS Laser Therapy reduces pain, decreases inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair. Two synchronized wavelengths are used for optimal results.
- One wavelength is a continuous laser at 808 nanometers. It addresses the root cause of pain and discomfort by reducing swelling and inflammation.
- The other wavelength, pulsed at 905 nanometers, is known for its potent analgesic effects. It blocks pain signals at the cellular level, providing immediate relief.
Delivering these wavelengths simultaneously creates an energetic synergy that enhances the overall treatment efficacy and minimizes the risk of thermal damage. The ability to deliver controlled laser energy for consistent, repeatable results, combined with its enhanced power, sets MLS apart from other Class IV lasers.
Is MLS Laser Therapy Effective?
MLS Laser Therapy has proven safe and effective in treating acute and chronic conditions. The lasers penetrate deep into tissue and accelerate cellular healing, causing tendons, ligaments, and muscles to repair themselves faster.
This innovative treatment can be effectively applied to a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including:
- Achilles tendonitis, inflammation of the Achilles tendon, a thick, fibrous cord that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone.
- arthritis, the inflammation of one or more joints.
- muscle sprains and strains, which occur when muscles or tendons are stretched or torn.
- nail fungus, an infection caused when fungi enter through small cracks in the nail or nearby skin.
- neuroma, an irritated and compressed nerve that usually causes a benign overgrowth of nerve tissue to form in the feet.
- occupational injuries, which may occur from slips, trips, and falls.
- peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage that develops when there’s a problem with the peripheral nervous system.
- plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the plantar fascia, the ligament that runs from the heel to the toes.
Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy
Patients benefit from MLS Laser Therapy in several ways. If you’re experiencing any of the conditions listed above, this painless therapy is here to provide rapid pain relief and healing with little to no downtime. This nonsurgical option has no associated side effects. It also enhances blood flow in the feet, promoting recovery and reducing inflammation.
What You Can Expect at Your Appointment
Sessions last 8 minutes on average, though the exact duration depends on the area affected and reason for treatment.
- Once you’re sitting or lying down on the table comfortably, the device will be positioned over the treatment area and programmed to your unique treatment plan.
- A continuous laser beam will make multiple passes over the treatment area. All you have to do is stay still and relax.
- The number of treatments prescribed will be determined by the severity and type of your condition. Make sure to complete the course of treatments recommended by your doctor to prevent symptoms from reoccurring.
