What is MLS® Laser Therapy?
MLS® meaning multi-wave locked system is a laser therapy combining and synchronizing the use of continuous (808nm) and pulsed (905nm) laser light for therapeutic benefits at a cellular level. One laser wavelength treats swelling and inflammation, and the other treats pain.
Benefits of Laser Therapy
The combined impact of using two types of laser in a single treatment session means immeasurable benefits for Centennial, CO residents needing MLS® laser therapy, including:
Laser Therapy Is Non-invasive and Painless
Laser therapy is non-invasive. The treatment itself is pain-free and not at all uncomfortable, and it acts quickly. There is no post-operative recovery when using laser therapy and almost no side effects. In fact, laser therapy can help speed up post-operative recovery.
Laser Therapy Acts as an Analgesic and Is Anti-Inflammatory
Laser therapy reduces pain by blocking nerve pain transmitters from the damaged cells and increasing the body's manufacture of natural pain killers. Inflammation is reduced by stimulating blood flow to the affected area and promoting drainage of the lymphatic system. This may lessen reliance on pain medications in the long run.
Laser Therapy Promotes Quicker Tissue Repair
Laser light photons have been shown to speed up tissue repair by improving cellular reproduction and growth, meaning you can quickly recover from your injuries and wounds. This is particularly beneficial for sportsmen and women or people who have physically demanding jobs.
Laser Therapy Can Be Used to Treat Multiple Conditions
One of the greatest benefits of MLS therapy is that it can successfully treat a host of acute and chronic conditions. Conditions such as arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, sprains and strains, nerve entrapment, and a host of musculoskeletal disorders, allowing you alternatives to invasive surgery in some instances.
