What Is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS (Multiwave Locked System) laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses synchronized wavelengths of light to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote tissue healing. Studies have shown that it enhances the effectiveness of orthobiologic treatments. It is commonly used for musculoskeletal conditions affecting joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
How Does MLS Laser Therapy Work?
MLS laser therapy combines two specific wavelengths of light:
- A continuous wave that reduces inflammation
- A pulsed wave that targets pain signals
These wavelengths penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular activity, increasing circulation, and accelerating the body’s natural healing processes.
What Conditions Can MLS Laser Therapy Treat?
MLS laser therapy is effective for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Back and neck pain
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Sports injuries
- Sprains and strains
- Neuropathy
- Post-surgical recovery
Is MLS Laser Therapy Safe?
Yes, MLS laser therapy is FDA-cleared and considered very safe when performed by trained professionals. It is non-invasive, drug-free, and has minimal risk of side effects.
What Does MLS Laser Therapy Feel Like?
Most patients feel a gentle warming sensation during treatment. The procedure is painless, and many patients find it relaxing.
How Long Does a Treatment Session Take?
A typical MLS laser therapy session lasts between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
We typically provide 12 sessions after an orthobiologic procedue. Patients usually come in 3 times a week for 4 weeks.
How Quickly Will I See Results?
Some patients experience relief after the first treatment, while others notice gradual improvement over several sessions. Results often include reduced pain, improved mobility, and faster recovery.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Side effects are rare. Occasionally, patients may experience mild soreness after treatment, which usually resolves quickly.
Who Is a Good Candidate for MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS laser therapy is ideal for individuals who:
- Want to avoid surgery or medications
- Have had an orthobiologic procedure
- Have chronic pain or inflammation

Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting treatment.
Does MLS Laser Therapy Help with Arthritis?
Yes, MLS laser therapy can reduce joint inflammation and stiffness associated with arthritis, helping improve mobility and decrease pain.
Can MLS Laser Therapy Speed Up Healing?
Yes. MLS laser therapy enhances cellular repair and increases blood flow, which helps accelerate the healing of soft tissue injuries.
Is MLS Laser Therapy Covered by Insurance?
MLS Laser Therapy is not covered by insurance.
Why Choose MLS Laser Therapy Over Other Treatments?
MLS laser therapy stands out because it is:
- Non-invasive
- Drug-free
- Fast and convenient
- Clinically proven to reduce pain and inflammation
Is There Any Downtime After Treatment?
No. Patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
