What Can Laser Therapy Help With?

MLS Laser Therapy may be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for many painful musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Back and neck pain
• Arthritis and joint pain
• Knee pain
• Shoulder pain
• Hip pain
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Tennis elbow and other elbow pain
• Plantar fasciitis and foot pain
• Muscle pain and tightness
• Sports and activity-related injuries
• Pain associated with inflammation

How Does MLS Laser Therapy Work?

The laser delivers carefully controlled light energy into the tissues being treated. Photobiomodulation is thought to influence cellular processes involved in pain, inflammation, and tissue repair.

Patients often describe the treatment as comfortable and relaxing, with little to no sensation during the treatment. Because MLS Laser Therapy is non-invasive, it can be incorporated alongside other therapies when appropriate.

Potential Benefits

Depending on the condition being treated, MLS Laser Therapy may help:

Reduce Pain
Laser therapy may help decrease pain and improve comfort, allowing patients to move more comfortably.

Reduce Inflammation
Photobiomodulation may help regulate inflammatory processes in irritated or injured tissues.

Support Tissue Recovery
Laser therapy may support cellular activity involved in the body’s normal repair and recovery processes.

Improve Function
By helping reduce pain and inflammation, laser therapy may make it easier to participate in movement, exercise, rehabilitation, and other aspects of your treatment plan.

Laser Therapy as Part of Your Treatment Plan

We don’t view laser therapy as a stand-alone solution for every condition. Instead, we use it as one tool within a comprehensive approach to care.

Depending on your condition, MLS Laser Therapy may be combined with chiropractic care, spinal decompression, exercise and rehabilitation, soft-tissue therapies, or other treatments recommended by your provider.

If you’re experiencing pain or an injury that isn’t improving, ask us whether MLS Laser Therapy may be appropriate for you.
