What is MLS Laser Therapy?

Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser Therapy is a form of Photobiomodulation Therapy, otherwise known as Low Level Laser Therapy or PBMT. Our MLS Laser is an innovative and patented method that delivers therapeutic and analgesic wavelengths simultaneously. This has an efficient effect on pain, inflammation, and oedema.

 

MLS Laser Therapy is a safe, quick and painless treatment to improve tissue repair, reduce pain and inflammation, and overcome symptoms typical of musculoskeletal pathologies. It has no known side effects and can assist in recovery after surgery, traumas or fractures. MLS Laser Therapy can shorten the time taken to return to the normal activities of everyday life such as work, sports and social life.

​

Our system is a Class 4 Laser that consists of a pulsed and a continuous emission, simultaneosly treating pain, inflammation and oedema. It requires fewer treatments and has longer lasting results. Laser Therapy is a non-thermal process involving endogenous chromophores eliciting photophysical and photochemical events at cellular, sub-cellular or mollecular levels. This process results in beneficial therapeutic outcomes.

 

We offer this treatment to patients with painful acute or chronic conditions. 

​

Conditions Treated:

• Osteoarthritis and Joint Pain

• Shoulder, Back, Hip, Knee, Ankle and Heel Pain

• Bursitis and Sciatica 

• Acute Sprains and Strains

• Tendinopathies

• Traumas and Tissue Bruising

• Lower Limb Oedema

• Post Orthopaedic Surgery Inflammation 

​

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Light energy enters damaged cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area and speeds recovery of the damaged cells. Once the cells recover, the healing process is complete.

 

WHAT ARE THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF LASER THERAPY?

Analgesic

·      Blocking of pain stimulus condition

·      Hyperemia and “wash out” of allogenic substances

·      Increase in endorphin synthesis

·      Pain threshold modulation

 

Anti-inflammatory

·      Increase in the caliber and modulation of lymphatic and capillary vessel permeability

·      Hyperemia and “wash out” of the pro-inflammatory molecules.

 

Bio Stimulating

·      Increase in the supply of nutrients, oxygen, and growth factors

·      Modulation of cell proliferation and differentiation (i.e. nerve regeneration)

·      Cellular function activation

·      Increase of matrix protein synthesis

·      Reduction of scar tissue formation
