MLS® Laser Therapy

Unlock the Full Healing Potential of Your Body

MLS Laser Therapy is quickly becoming the standard of care in alleviating both acute and chronic pain. This patented, FDA-cleared technology has an 85% – 90% efficacy rate in relieving pain and inflammation, eliminates risk from surgery and prescription pain killers, has no negative side effects, and restores patients’ lives.

MLS Laser Therapy effectively treats pain and inflammation associated with the following conditions:

  • Plantar Fasciitis                                

  • Neuromas

  • Neuropathies

  • Arthritis and Bursitis

  • Sports injuries

  • Tendon & ligament injuries

  • Back & joint pain

  • Muscle sprains & strains

  • Tendonitis

  • Wounds

  • Post-surgical swelling

  • Disc disease

  • Sciatic

  • Knee Conditions

  • Migraines

10 Benefits of MLS® Laser Therapy:

  • 1. Anti-Inflammatory: MLS® Laser Therapy has an anti-edema effect as it causes vasodilation, but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system which drains swollen areas. As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.

    2. Analgesic: MLS® Laser Therapy has a beneficial effect on nerve cells. It blocks pain transmitted by these cells to the brain which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to the decreased inflammation, there is less edema and less pain. Another pain blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalin from the brain and adrenal gland.

    3. Accelerated Tissue Repair and Cell Growth: Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. As a result of exposure to laser light, damaged cells are repaired faster.

    4. Improved Vascular Activity: Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue which speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue. Additional benefits include acceleration of angiogenesis, which causes temporary vasodilation and increase in the diameter of blood vessels.

    5. Increases Metabolic Activity: MLS® Laser Therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.

    6. Trigger Points and Acupuncture Points: MLS® Laser Therapy stimulates muscle trigger points and acupuncture points on a noninvasive basis providing musculoskeletal pain relief.

    7. Reduced Fibrous Tissue Formation: MLS® Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns or surgery.

    8. Improved Nerve Function: Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection and increase the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle healing.

    9. Immunoregulation: Laser light has a direct effect on immunity status by stimulating immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. Laser emissions are absorbed by chromophores (molecule enzymes) that react to laser light. Upon exposure to the laser, the enzyme flavomononucleotide is activated and starts the production of ATP (adenosinetriphosphate), which is the major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.

    10. Faster Wound Healing: Laser light stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue. Fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen, which is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, MLS® Laser Therapy is effective post surgically and in the treatment of open wounds and burns.

  • MLS (Multiwave Locked System) laser therapy is a patented, FDA-cleared laser treatment for pain and inflammation. It is non-invasive and drug-free, and it helps your body heal without surgery or prescription pain killers.

  • MLS is an advanced form of low-level, or "cold," laser therapy. Its patented system synchronizes two laser wavelengths to target pain and inflammation at the same time, which is why it is often used for both acute injuries and chronic pain.

  • MLS laser therapy treats pain and inflammation from plantar fasciitis, neuromas, neuropathy, arthritis and bursitis, sports injuries, tendon and ligament injuries, tendonitis, back and joint pain, muscle sprains and strains, sciatica, disc disease, knee conditions, migraines, wounds and post-surgical swelling.

  • MLS laser therapy is non-invasive and drug-free, and it has no negative side effects. Most patients feel little to nothing during a session and can go right back to their day.

  • Yes. Knee conditions, back and joint pain, and plantar fasciitis are some of the most common problems we treat with MLS laser therapy. It reduces inflammation and swelling, eases pain and speeds tissue repair.

  • We are at 15000 S Cicero Ave, Suite 100, in Oak Forest, IL, a short drive from Tinley Park, Orland Park, Midlothian, Crestwood and the rest of the south suburbs. Call (708) 907-0700 to schedule your MLS laser therapy visit.

  • It depends on your condition. An acute injury may need a package of as few as 6 sessions, while chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis or more severe inflammatory problems typically call for 12 or 24 sessions. We will recommend a plan after evaluating you.

  • No. MLS laser therapy is not covered by insurance and is self-pay. We offer session packages and will go over costs with you before you start.

  • To get the most out of your laser treatments, you can add an anti-inflammatory diet plan, evidence-based supplements for joint health or peripheral neuropathy, and targeted exercises for knees, shoulders and other problem areas.
