Our facility is happy to announce our investment in state-of-the-art Fully Robotic Laser Technology.
MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy utilizes specific therapeutic beams of light to help jump start the body’s innate ability to heal itself. From long-term pain associated with issues such as arthritis to recent injuries, the results of this treatment are amazing.
When talking about MLS Laser Therapy, there are three main factors that come to mind:
1. Efficacy – MLS Laser Therapy is patented technology that is cleared by the FDA and has an 85-90% efficacy rate in relieving pain and inflammation. It can potentially eliminate the risk and need of surgery along with prescription pain killers. It can improve the quality of life and restore patients’ lives.
2. Safety – The unique combination and synchronization of the two wavelengths allow for MLS Laser Therapy to enter the body with no risk of thermal damage, meaning it cannot cause collateral damage and has NO KNOWN NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS!
3. Consistency – Unlike early-generation Class IV lasers, MLS Laser Therapy has the capability to deliver controlled laser energy. This unique feature provides more accurate therapeutic dose delivery, which means consistent and repeatable results.
When we talk about the benefits of MLS Laser Therapy, we typically break it down into four major areas:
- Analgesic (eliminate pain)
- Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Edema (reduce inflammation)
- Improved Vascular System & Nerve Function (increase blood flow)
-
Accelerated Tissue Repair & Cell Growth (cellular activity)
Conditions treated include but not limited to:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Neuromas
- Neuropathies
- Arthritis
- Wounds

MLS Laser FAQs
What does laser therapy have over other forms of therapy?
It does not require the use of drugs or surgery, there are no known side effects, and it is quick/convenient. Studies have shown that it is equal to or more effective than other forms of physical therapy. These studies were performed at many prestigious institutions including Harvard University.
Does it hurt? What does the treatment feel like?
There is little or no sensation during treatment. There is no pain associated during laser application. Laser treatment is relaxing and some people even fall asleep.
How long does the treatment take?
The typical course of treatment is 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Treatments are typically received 2 to 3 times a week. Treatment plans are determined on an individual basis.
How many treatments does it take?
This depends on the nature of the condition being treated. The typical treatment protocol is between 6 and 12 visits. Conditions such as severe arthritis may require ongoing periodic care to control pain.
How long before results are felt?
You may feel improvement in your condition (usually pain reduction) after 1 to 3 treatments. For some more chronic conditions it may take up to 6 visits to feel the benefits of laser therapy. Not everyone responds to laser therapy and results cannot be guaranteed.
Are the results long lasting?
MLS Laser Therapy is about healing. It’s not about masking or covering up a condition. When you feel better from this therapy… it’s because you are better. Therefore results have been found to be quite long lasting.
Can it be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment?
Yes, MLS Laser Therapy is sometimes more effective when combined with other forms of therapy, including physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, soft tissue mobilization, electrotherapy, and following surgery.
How do I know if laser therapy is right for me?
We will evaluate your condition and perform a complete laser therapy examination to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure. Call us to schedule your evaluation or a consultation with one of the doctors. Consultations are always at no cost to the patient.
Can laser therapy be used over medical implants or over metal?
Yes, laser therapy is a light treatment. No heating is involved with surgical or metal implants. It can be used safely with no side effects. It is extremely effective for post-operative wound healing. Many hip and knee replacement patients see us for care.
