What is MLS?
What is MLS Laser Therapy?
The FDA-cleared MLS Therapy Laser uses concentrated light energy to stimulate the body’s own healing process to minimize pain, inflammation and arthritis and reduce recovery time so you can return to a pain-free life. By using specific wavelengths and a patented delivery system, MLS Laser Therapy can speed up the process of relieving inflammation and pain associated with many conditions, including arthritis. The MLS Therapy Laser has a unique pain-relieving effect, which can be dramatic. Many patients feel significantly better in just a few treatments.

Will MLS Laser Therapy Work For Me? What does it treat?
For 85-90% of patients with musculoskeletal pain, inflammation or arthritis, the answer is “Yes!” Most patients with pain, inflammation or arthritis report significant pain relief from MLS Laser Therapy treatments.
Whether you have:
- shoulder and neck pain
- rotator cuff
- back pain
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- sciatica
- aching knees
- Achilles tendonitis
- plantar fasciitis
- neuropathy or restless legs
- or any other musculoskeletal pain
You are likely to benefit from MLS Laser Therapy. As a matter of fact, many patients who were scheduled for surgery because of MLS Laser Therapy alleviated their condition and reduced or eliminated their pain.
-
Will it Hurt?
That’s a great question. Through years of research and development, the MLS Laser was designed to treat conditions without an excessive thermal effect, often felt as heat. Most people report that they do not feel anything during the treatments. Occasionally, you may feel a slight warming sensation at the treatment site, which is normal and is an indication that the inflammation is being relieved and that your body is responding properly.
-
Is the Effect Long lasting?
For most patients the answer is “Yes”. While each person and each condition varies, many patients receive tremendous relief from their pain and inflammation when they go through a series of MLS Laser Therapy treatments. While most patients may not need additional treatments in the future, some conditions, like arthritis, are degenerative. The great thing about MLS Laser Therapy for arthritic patients is that once you feel better, you can be more active an it is this increased activity that helps minimize the long term effects of arthritis. Even so, you may need an occasional single MLS treatment every 4 to 6 weeks over the course of the year just to hold the inflammation at bay and keep the arthritic pain in check.

Benefits from laser therapy
The many benefits of MLS Laser Therapy include:
Anti-inflammatory: MLS Laser Therapy has an anti-edema effect in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.
Analgesic: MLS Laser Therapy has a beneficial effect on nerve cells that decreases nerve sensitivity, edema, and pain.
Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth: The light from MLS lasers penetrates deeply into tissue and accelerates cellular reproduction and growth; damaged cells are repaired faster.
Improved Vascular Activity: Laser light significantly increases the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue, which speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly, and reduces scar tissue.
Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points: MLS Laser Therapy stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a noninvasive basis to provide musculoskeletal pain relief.
Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: MLS Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or surgery.
Improved Nerve Function: Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection and optimizes muscle and nerve healing.
Immunoregulation: Laser light stimulates immunoglobulins and lymphocytes and enhances cell energy.
Faster Wound Healing: Laser light stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue. As a result, MLS Laser Therapy is effective post-surgically and in the treatment of open wounds and burns
