What is MLS Laser Therapy?
When a physical condition or injury affects mobility and quality of life, there is one goal: A rapid return to everyday activities!
Multiwave Locked System® (MLS) Laser Therapy is an innovative approach that uses light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
How can light help with pain?
Light is energy, and energy in the form of light is essential to almost all forms of life. Every day, the cells in our bodies use light energy in many different ways to function. For example, light from the sun is an important source of Vitamin D.
Decades of research have found that certain wavelengths of light can also help our cells better perform healing processes.
By using these specific wavelengths of light, the patented MLS Laser energy delivery system helps the body simultaneously manage pain, improve blood flow, and decrease inflammation for a wide range of painful conditions. MLS Laser Therapy is safe, painless, noninvasive, cleared by the FDA, and backed by decades of research at state-of-the-art research facilities around the world.
What are the benefits of MLS Laser Therapy?
- Rapid relief of pain
- Strong anti-inflammatory effects
- Timely healing of sprains & strains

- Rapid recovery of the structural integrity of injured region
- Avoid unnecessary and expensive drugs and/or surgeries
Common Indications
MLS Laser Therapy effectively treats the pain and inflammation associated with:
- Acute Injuries
- Arthritis & Bursitis
- Back & Neck Issues
- Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Neuropathy
- Occupational & Sports Injuries
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Post Orthobiologic/Regenerative treatment
- Post-Surgical Recovery
- Sprains & Strains
- Tendon & Ligament Injuries
What makes the MLS Laser unique?
MLS Laser Therapy is a unique laser system designed to offer better clinical outcomes by simultaneously reducing pain, contracture, inflammation, and edema in a short period of time. The patented system is unlike any other, and we are proud to offer this remarkable laser solution to our patients!
This advanced technology is the only therapy laser to precisely synchronizes continuous and pulsed wavelengths of light in a way that allows photons (particles of light energy) to penetrate deep into the body while remaining safe and painless. As your body responds to the light energy, multiple therapeutic effects will begin to take place at the same time and work together to enhance your outcomes:
- Anti-Inflammatory:Reduces inflammation and edema by stimulating lymphatic drainage and vasodilation.
- Analgesic: Stimulates the production of endorphins and enkephalin to block the transmission of painful sensations to the bran. Reduced pain is also a secondary result of reduced inflammation and edema.
- Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth: Photons penetrate deep into the tissue and accelerate cellular growth and reproduction. Laser increases the energy available to cells so they can take nutrients, remove waste, and repair themselves faster.
- Improved Vascular Activity: Increases the formation of capillaries in damaged tissue to accelerate the healing process. Additional benefits include temporary vasodilation and an increase in blood vessel diameter.
- Increases Metabolic Activity: Creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.
- Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points: Stimulates acupuncture and trigger points to non-invasively provide musculoskeletal pain relief.
- Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: Reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or surgery.
- Improved Nerve Function: Accelerates the process of nerve cell re-connection and increase the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle healing.
- Immunoregulation: Stimulates immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. Activates the enzyme flavomononucleotide to start the production of ATP—the major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells
- Faster Wound Healing: Stimulates the development of fibroblast—an essential protein for tissue repair. As a result, MLS Laser Therapy is effective for post-surgical healing and the treatment of open wounds and burns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS Laser Therapy is drug-free, non-invasive, and non-addictive, and there are no known dangerous side effects.
What does a treatment feel like?
MLS Laser Therapy is painless. In fact, most patients report no sensation at all while receiving laser therapy.
Is treatment safe?
Yes, there are no known negative side effects associated with treatment.
How long does a typical treatment take?
The length of a typical treatment is 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and the number of areas treated.
What can I expect from treatment?
Most patients experience positive results within 1-3 treatments. These initial improvements may include relief of pain, decreased swelling, improved range of motion, etc.
The effects are cumulative, therefore, expect to see improvement as you proceed through your treatment plan. It is critical that once you start, you complete the course of treatments recommended by your doctor.
How many treatments are needed?
A treatment plan is based on each patient and their unique condition. Acute conditions typically need 6 sessions, while chronic conditions take longer and require 10 to 15 sessions.
Are the results long lasting?
For most patients, the answer is yes. While each patient and condition are unique, many receive tremendous long-term relief from their pain and inflammation after completing the recommended treatment plan. Some patients may benefit from the occasional supportive treatment to maintain their positive outcomes. Frequency of these types of treatments will be determined by you and your doctor.
Can it be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment?
Yes, MLS Laser Therapy can sometimes be even more effective when combined with other forms of treatment.
