MLS^® Laser Therapy is a revolutionary treatment being used by doctors across the nation to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

D. How does it work?
R. That light triggers metabolic reactions in the cell that stimulate healing, that stimulate reduced inflammation and stimulate pain reduction.

D. What will I feel during the treatment?
R. You as a patient feel nothing. You don’t feel warmth, you don’t feel needles jabbing, you don’t feel itching, you feel nothing. When I focus the machine, the machine shines a light and, and then you get up and get dressed and you leave. And hopefully after that you feel better.

D. How many treatments will I need?
R. If you see some improvement within the first 2 or 3 treatments I would definitely recommend that you continue on with treatment. For an acute condition maybe 5 treatments will do the trick. For a longer chronic problem, as many as 10 treatments. Following that, it’s, it’s reasonable to expect that you need some maintenance treatments down the road, but that’s the initial protocol.

D. Is it possible that MLS^® laser therapy won’t work for me?
R. There’s always that chance, and nothing works for everything and I don’t ever promise anybody anything, but the results we’ve seen so far have been well over 70% responders.

D. Why do you consider MLS^® a valid therapy?
R. It’s always better to be able to treat patients faster get them, you know get the results in the shortest amount of time possible, with the, with the latest and the best technology.
