Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser Therapy is an innovative technology that is quickly becoming a sought-after treatment for patients with acute and chronic pain, inflammation, and edema. In fact, laser therapy has an 85% – 90% efficacy rate in relieving pain and inflammation.

 

Laser therapy uses light to accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. The laser beam is moved over the skin so that the light energy (photons) penetrates the tissue, where it interacts with various molecules to repair the function of cells and regenerate tissue that had been damaged.
