MLS Laser Therapy Q & A
What is the MLS Laser?
Lasers can be designed to use different wavelengths of light and pulse rates, qualities that are important because they determine the effect on your body.
Some wavelengths treat the outer skin, specific colors like reddish-purple veins absorb others, and yet others are designed to penetrate deep below the surface. Lasers can be hot enough to perform precise surgery or cool enough to promote healing.
The MLS therapy laser is specially designed to send out pulses of two therapeutic wavelengths. One wavelength reduces inflammation and edema, while the other relieves pain and promotes healing. Both wavelengths safely pass through your skin to reach damaged tissues.
What Benefits Do I Gain from MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS Laser Therapy delivers health benefits, such as:
- Alleviates Pain: The laser’s ability to reduce inflammation and stop nerves from sending pain signals leads to significant pain relief.
- Accelerates Healing: As the laser penetrates deep below the skin’s surface, it boosts energy production inside cells, accelerates cellular growth, and stimulates collagen synthesis.
- Triggers New Blood Vessel Growth: The laser stimulates the regeneration of new blood vessels, which speeds up healing and reduces scar tissue.
What Foot Conditions Can MLS Laser Therapy Treat?
The MLS laser treats a wide range of soft tissue injuries and diseases. Your doctor at Sacramento Foot and Ankle Center may recommend laser therapy for:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Neuromas
