MLS Laser Therapy

Advanced Pain Relief.

MLS Laser Therapy is a cutting-edge medical treatment harnessing the power of synchronised wavelengths of light to accelerate healing and provide relief from chronic pain. This innovative therapy offers a non-invasive approach to address a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.

What is MLS Laser Therapy?

MLS Laser Therapy, or Multiwave Locked System Laser Therapy, is a state-of-the-art medical treatment that employs specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity. It stands out for its dual-action approach, targeting both inflammation and pain relief simultaneously. This unique feature enhances its therapeutic benefits, resulting in faster and more comprehensive results compared to traditional laser therapies.

How Does MLS Laser Therapy Work?

The therapy works by increasing cellular metabolism, which in turn accelerates the body’s natural healing processes. The synchronised wavelengths of light penetrate deep into the affected tissues, activating cellular processes that reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. This not only alleviates pain but also addresses the underlying causes of discomfort, providing a holistic solution to chronic musculoskeletal issues.

Who Can Benefit from MLS Laser Therapy?

Arthritis and Joint Disorders

Provides relief for individuals suffering from arthritis, aiding in pain management and improving joint function.

Tendinitis and Soft Tissue Injuries

Accelerates healing for conditions like tendinitis, strains, and sprains, reducing recovery time.

Post-Surgical Recovery

Aids in post-operative healing, minimising pain and inflammation, and accelerating the recovery process.

Sports Injuries

Helps athletes recover from injuries by promoting faster healing and reducing pain, allowing for quicker return to activity.

Chronic Pain Management

Offers a non-invasive alternative for individuals dealing with persistent pain, enhancing their quality of life.

Seniors

Aids in post-operative healing, minimising pain and inflammation, and accelerating the recovery process.

MLS Laser Therapy represents a groundbreaking advancement in pain relief and tissue regeneration. Its non-invasive nature, coupled with its remarkable efficacy, makes it a preferred choice for individuals seeking an alternative to conventional treatments.

MLS Laser Therapy in Wound Management:

Revolutionizing Healing

MLS Laser Therapy, known for its remarkable efficacy in pain management, extends its transformative benefits to wound care. This innovative treatment modality harnesses synchronised wavelengths of light to accelerate the healing process, making it a game-changer in wound management.

The Science Behind MLS Laser Therapy:

MLS Laser Therapy works by stimulating cellular activity through specific wavelengths of light. In wound management, this is particularly crucial. The synchronised wavelengths penetrate deep into the affected tissues, enhancing cellular metabolism and promoting the production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), the energy currency of cells. This heightened cellular activity accelerates wound healing, reducing inflammation, and aiding in tissue regeneration.

10 Benefits of MLS^® Laser Therapy

Anti-Inflammatory

MLS Laser Therapy has an anti-oedema effect as it causes vasodilation, but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system which drains swollen areas. As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.

Analgesic

MLS Laser Therapy has a beneficial effect on nerve cells. It blocks pain transmitted by these cells to the brain which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to the decreased inflammation, there is less oedema and less pain. Another pain blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalin from the brain and adrenal gland.

Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth

Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. As a result of exposure to laser light, damaged cells are repaired faster.

Improved Vascular Activity

Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue which speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue. Additional benefits include acceleration of angiogenesis, which causes temporary vasodilation and increase in the diameter of blood vessels.

Increases Metabolic Activity

MLS Laser Therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.

Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points

MLS Laser Therapy stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a non-invasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.

Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation

MLS Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns or surgery.

Improved Nerve Function

Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection and increase the amplitude of action potentials to optimise muscle healing.

Immunoregulation

Laser light has a direct effect on immunity status by stimulating immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. Laser emissions are absorbed by chromophores (molecule enzymes) that react to laser light. Upon exposure to the laser, the enzyme flavomononucleotide is activated and starts the production of ATP (adenosine- triphosphate), which is the major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.

Faster Wound Healing

Laser light stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue. Fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen, which is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, MLS Laser Therapy is effective post surgically and in the treatment of open wounds and burns

FAQ’s

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.

There is little or no sensation during treatment. There is no pain associated during laser applications. Laser treatment is relaxing, and some people even fall asleep

The typical course of treatment is 20 to 30 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.

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.

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.

Yes, MLS Laser Therapy is sometimes more effective when combined with other forms of therapy, including physical therapy, chiropractic, massage, soft tissue mobilisation, electrotherapy and following surgery.
