MLS Laser Therapy

MLS Laser Therapy: A Complete Guide to Pain Relief and Recovery

Chronic pain affects millions of Americans, disrupting daily life and diminishing quality of life. At Performance Pain and Sports Medicine, Dr. Suzanne Manzi and Dr. Matthias Wiederholz offer MLS laser therapy, a groundbreaking, non-invasive approach that accelerates healing and alleviates pain. With expertise in advanced pain management and sports medicine, our team provides patients with a powerful, drug-free solution to chronic pain and injury recovery.

What is MLS Laser Therapy and How Does it Work?

MLS Laser Therapy is an advanced treatment that uses synchronized dual wavelengths to penetrate deep into tissues, promoting cellular regeneration and reducing inflammation. By utilizing continuous and pulsed laser wavelengths, MLS therapy enhances the body’s natural healing processes, making it an effective, non-invasive solution for managing chronic pain, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal conditions.

How MLS Laser Therapy Works

MLS Laser Therapy operates on the principle of photobiomodulation, where specific light wavelengths stimulate cellular activity. This therapy increases ATP production, enhances circulation, reduces oxidative stress, and promotes endorphin release. These effects accelerate healing and provide lasting pain relief, helping patients return to their daily lives faster and with less discomfort.

Benefits and Safety of MLS Laser Therapy

Unlike traditional laser treatments, MLS Laser Therapy synchronizes dual wavelengths, providing rapid pain relief and accelerated healing with minimal side effects. Key benefits include:

• Reduced Inflammation: Decreases oxidative stress and inflammation, promoting faster recovery.
• Enhanced Circulation: Blood flow to the treated areas can improve by up to 400%, aiding in tissue repair.
• Improved Mobility: Patients often experience greater range of motion and reduced stiffness.
• Non-Invasive and Drug-Free: A safe alternative to medications and invasive procedures.

Supporting Research and Evidence

MLS Laser Therapy has been supported by numerous studies, highlighting its effectiveness in reducing pain and accelerating healing:

•Chronic Pain Reduction: Studies on MLS laser therapy in chronic pain conditions, such as neuropathic pain, report significant decreases in pain scores. A multicenter study demonstrated MLS therapy’s efficacy in reducing chronic pain symptoms by 50% or more in patients with long-term neuromusculoskeletal pain  [1].

•Enhanced Healing for Soft Tissue Injuries: Research in sports medicine and physical rehabilitation shows that MLS laser therapy promotes faster healing times, reducing recovery periods for soft tissue injuries by up to 60% by stimulating cellular repair processes and reducing inflammation [2].

•Improvement in Musculoskeletal Conditions: Long-term follow-up studies indicate a sustained 75% improvement in chronic pain conditions like low back pain, as MLS laser therapy supports better range of motion and a reduction in pain levels over time [3].

These findings reinforce MLS Laser Therapy as an effective, non-invasive option for reducing pain and accelerating recovery in patients with various chronic pain and soft tissue conditions.

Safety Standards and FDA Approval

MLS Laser Therapy has a proven safety record:

• FDA-Cleared: Approved following rigorous clinical trials for efficacy and safety.
• Global Compliance: Meets standards in the U.S. and internationally.
• Low Side Effect Rate: Less than 0.001% of patients report mild, non-severe side effects.

Performance Pain and Sports Medicine uses the latest MLS devices, ensuring optimal safety and effectiveness for every patient.

Conditions Treated with MLS Laser Therapy

MLS Laser Therapy is highly effective for a range of musculoskeletal, soft tissue, and neurological conditions. Patients at Performance Pain and Sports Medicine have seen impressive results for conditions such as:

• Musculoskeletal Pain and Arthritis: Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, back pain, neck pain, and joint pain
• Sports Injuries: Tendon and ligament injuries, muscle sprains and strains
• Neurological Conditions: Neuropathies, neuromas, sciatica, shingles
• Soft Tissue Disorders: Plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, Morton’s neuroma, and wounds
• Post-Surgical Recovery: Reduces post-surgical swelling and promotes healing
• Disc-Related Conditions: Helps manage pain and inflammation associated with disc disease

Dr. Manzi and Dr. Wiederholz use personalized treatment plans to target each condition’s unique pain points, achieving faster and more effective results.

What to Expect During MLS Laser Therapy

Each MLS laser therapy session is quick and comfortable. Here’s what patients can expect:

Pre-Treatment

• Medical Review: Your doctor will review your medical history and conduct a focused examination.
• Treatment Goals: The provider will discuss your pain management and healing goals.

During Treatment

• Session Length: Treatments are typically 10-15 minutes.
• Pain-Free Application: The procedure is entirely non-invasive and pain-free.
• Real-Time Monitoring: A trained specialist will monitor the treatment to ensure comfort and effectiveness.

Post-Treatment

• Immediate Activity: Patients can return to daily activities right away.
• No Recovery Time: MLS therapy requires no downtime.
• Progress Tracking: The benefits are cumulative, with progressive improvement after each session.

The M6 MLS Laser System

Our clinic uses the M6 MLS laser system, an advanced device that combines dual wavelengths in a robotic application for precise, targeted treatment. This technology allows us to deliver consistent results, ensuring optimal therapeutic outcomes for our patients.

Limitations, Side Effects, and Contraindications

While MLS Laser Therapy is generally safe, there are a few limitations and considerations:

• Mild Side Effects: Some patients may experience temporary redness, tingling, or warmth, which usually resolves quickly.
• Contraindications:
• Pregnancy: Laser therapy should be avoided over the abdominal area during pregnancy.
• Active Cancer: MLS therapy should not be used near active tumors.
• Pacemakers or Implants: Patients with electronic implants should consult their healthcare provider.

In cases of advanced degenerative conditions or severe acute injuries, more critical interventions, such as surgery, may be required.
