How Laser Therapy For Pain Works

MLS laser therapy is an FDA-cleared, class IV technology that synchronizes dual wavelengths with continuous and pulsed emissions to provide the most advanced laser pain therapy system available today. Unlike other lasers and early-generation laser pain technology, MLS laser therapy can deliver controlled, targeted laser energy for a more accurate therapeutic dose and delivery with highly consistent and replicable results when performed by our Altamonte Springs chiropractor.

With high levels of effectiveness, safety, and consistency, the laser delivers therapeutic wavelengths 808nm and 905nm for anti-edemic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects that minimize risks of thermal damage. When these laser light therapy wavelengths deeply penetrate damaged cells in the body, the light stimulates surrounding tendons, ligaments, and muscles, prompting the natural healing process to work at a more rapid rate. This from-within repair means the damage causing the pain starts to reverse for less pain and discomfort with each laser deep tissue therapy session.

Reap The Benefits Of MLS Laser Therapy

Patients suffering from chronic pain can benefit from laser pain treatment in various ways, in addition to its healing capabilities. The following comprises a number of the benefits to patients who undergo MLS multiwave locked system treatment from Roach Family Wellness.

What To Expect During Laser Pain Therapy

MLS laser treatment for pain and inflammation is virtually painless. Patients report feeling little-to-no sensation from the treatment. Most session take 10–15 minutes to complete, yet this depends on the size of the area affected and the patient’s reason for treatment. Depending on your individualized treatment plan, you might undergo 2 or 3 MLS laser therapy sessions weekly.

Most patients take up to three treatments before they notice an improvement to their condition. Patients with chronic or severe cases may require 10–12 treatments before experiencing full benefits. It is critical that once patients start MLS laser therapy, they complete the course of treatments recommended by our chiropractor or the pain is likely to reoccur.

Recovering After Laser Therapy

The majority of patients who undergo laser therapy for pain report minimal-to-no side effects following their sessions. The most common side effect for the patients who experience them is a temporary, subtle increase in pain directly following the session, which dissipates soon after that. Some patients may experience swelling or redness at the treated sites, which should also dissipate quickly.

Among the numerous benefits of laser therapy is that no downtime is associated with this treatment. Patients may be asked to avoid exercising, strenuous activity, and direct exposure to sunlight in the days following each session. Otherwise, patients may resume their normal activities after their laser treatment for back pain in Altamonte Springs, FL.
