What is MLS Laser Therapy, exactly?
IN A NUTSHELL
The Science behind the MLS Therapy Laser
MLS stands for MultiWave Locked System. It uses two lasers at once: one to ease pain and the other to reduce inflammation and swelling.
The MLS Therapy Laser generates two very specific wavelengths of light. The concentrated light energy is able to penetrate deeply to stimulate inter-cellular activity of your damaged cells; thereby, speeds up recovery. Once your damaged cells recover, the healing process is complete.
This technique is called cold laser therapy because your body tissue doesn’t need to be heated in order to stimulate healing. Cleared by the FDA in 2002, the MLS Therapy Laser uses a patented delivery system. The treatment is safe, non-invasive, painless and comfortable.
Up to 90% Effective
MLS Laser Therapy has been clinically proven to be highly effective for patients who complete their course of therapy. 85-90% of all patients will experience significant relief of their pain and inflammation.
A VERY SHORT VIDEO
Will MLS Laser Therapy work for me?
Most patients with musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, or arthritis report significant relief from treatments. Many who were scheduled for surgery were able to delay or cancel it because the therapy alleviated their condition and reduced or eliminated their pain. It also reduces post-operative pain and inflammation allowing you to heal much faster.
MLS Laser Therapy Packages
If your condition is minor, three treatments might be all you need. For most though, six are recommended. But if it's chronic, 10 are optimal. Sessions are scheduled once or twice a week.

Minor
3 SESSIONS
E.g. Ankle Sprains, Joint Sprains, Post-Surgical Pain, Shin Splints

Acute
6 SESSIONS
E.g. Bursitis, Plantar Fasciitis, Sesamoiditis, Tendinitis
Acute conditions can turn into chronic ones.

Chronic
10 SESSIONS
E.g. Arthritis, Joint & Muscle Pain, Morton’s Neuroma, Neuropathy
