Laser Therapy
What is MLS laser therapy?
Laser therapy can be used to treat muscle spasms, inflammation, bruising, soft tissue, sports injuries and more. Here at Your Feet First, we use MLS laser therapy as part of our treatment plans for lots of common foot and ankle problems, such as Achilles Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis and even to assist in post-operative wound healing.
Laser therapy safely and painlessly uses light to help to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling and to promote healing.
How does MLS laser work?
Laser therapy involves directing light energy into inflamed or damaged tissue to accelerate the body’s natural healing process.
The laser is placed in direct contact with the skin which enables specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the tissue and interact with molecules within the cells to cause several biochemical effects.
Laser therapy also increases blood flow to the injured area, encourages lymphatic drainage and accelerates the production of cellular energy to speed up the healing process.
What are the benefits of laser therapy?
Reduced symptoms
Laser treatment reduces symptoms and speeds up the healing process, often from your very first treatment.
Quick Treatment Time
Laser treatments are quick. Typically each treatment takes no more than 30 minutes.
Pain Free Treatment
Treatment with the laser is pain free and safe. Very few people experience any side effects at all.
What type of things can you treat with MLS laser?
MLS Laser Therapy has a wide variety of applications. It can improve symptoms and/or speed up healing in almost all musculoskeletal conditions, such as sprains, strains and tendonitis. Often, patients feel the benefit from the very first treatment and laser therapy can be a really valuable part of your treatment plan even in the case of chronic injuries/pain. Additionally, MLS Laser Therapy has benefits when utilised as part of treatment plans for wound healing and for lymphatic drainage, pain reduction and skin quality in patients with lympoedema/lipoedema.
