MLS Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment that uses focused light to treat a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. This revolutionary treatment allows deeper penetration without heat, incisions, or negative side effects. Since it was cleared by the FDA in , MLS Laser Therapy has been helping patients by relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting wound healing and soft tissue repair.
The MLS Laser converts light into biochemical energy. The result is a reduction in edema swelling and a faster rate of healing.
Studies have shown that MLS Laser Therapy is equal to or more effective than other forms of physical therapy. These studies were performed at multiple prestigious institutions, including Harvard University.
You will feel little to no sensation during this pain-free treatment. In fact, some people even fall asleep during their treatment sessions! A laser treatment typically lasts about 10 - 15 minutes, depending on the size of the area needing treatment. We usually recommend that patients receive treatment two or three times per week, although it will vary based on your individual needs. The total number of visits for laser therapy will also vary, depending on the type and severity of your condition.
Commonly, patients need between six and twelve visits, although some conditions such as severe arthritis undergo ongoing periodic care to control pain. For some patients, we may recommend that you combine MLS Laser Therapy with another form of therapy or treatment to maximize your results.
