What MLS Laser Therapy Does
MLS laser therapy is a form of low-level laser therapy that uses a combination of pulsed and continuous wavelengths to promote healing and reduce pain at a cellular level. The light laser interacts with cellular receptions, decreasing inflammation and blocking pain signal transmission to the brain. Due to this, the majority of patients note significant relief from pain, sometimes even after just a few initial treatment sessions. Contact us if you would like to know more information!
How Treatment Benefits Foot Conditions
When you arrive for your treatment session, you will be asked to remove your socks and shoes, the area will be cleaned, and we will have you sit or lay down comfortably. The laser device will be held a few inches away from your foot and moved around the painful site. The laser sends out wavelengths of light that get absorbed by your tissues. There will be a slight warming sensation but it will not cause you pain or adverse side effects. Our doctors often recommend treatment to patients who suffer from:
- Ankle sprains: the laser can accelerate healing of sprained ligaments by increasing blood flow, promoting tissue regeneration, and reducing swelling.
- Achilles tendinitis: laser therapy can stimulate collagen for tendon repair, reduce inflammation, and improve range of motion.
- Arthritic conditions: the light laser offers relief from arthritic foot conditions like rheumatoid and hallux rigidus by increasing joint flexibility, reducing inflammation, and promoting cartilage repair.
- Neuropathy: the laser can stimulate nerve regeneration, making it an effective treatment for diabetic neuropathy and other forms of peripheral neuropathy impacting the feet.
- Heel spurs: the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects can reduce pain associated with heel spurs.
- Bunions: by decreasing inflammation and pain, MLS laser therapy can offer relief from bunion pain by improving mobility while recovering or waiting for corrective surgery.
- Neuromas: laser therapy can reduce compression of the nerves and associated numbness or pain.
- Plantar fasciitis: light therapy can assist patients with plantar fasciosis by reducing pain and inflammation, increasing blood flow, and promoting microtear healing.
- Wound healing: laser therapy can quicken the healing process for post-surgical wounds, foot ulcers, and slow-healing foot wounds.
Dynamic Foot And Ankle Center
At the Dynamic Foot and Ankle Center, our MLS laser therapy treatment triggers cellular energy production and releases cellular substances, promoting regeneration and repairing of damaged tissues, including ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. This stimulates the creation of new blood vessels and enhances circulation. Healing is aiding by delivering more nutrients and oxygens to the affected area.
