Unlocking Relief and Healing with MLS Laser Therapy
In the ever-evolving landscape of pain management and wellness, laser-focused inflammation recovery, or MLS Laser Therapy, has emerged as a revolutionary non-invasive treatment option. This cutting-edge technology has gained popularity for its remarkable ability to provide relief from a wide range of ailments, from chronic pain to muscle recovery, migraines, degenerative discs, and so much more.
Understanding the Technology
What is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment modality that utilizes laser light therapy to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue healing. It’s often referred to as “cold laser therapy” due to the absence of heat during the procedure. Multi-wave Locked System (MLS) Therapy uses focused infrared light energy to stimulate the body’s own healing process, accelerating recovery, and significantly alleviating pain, inflammation, and arthritis. The laser reduces recovery times and is your gateway to return to a pain-free life.
How it Works
Through three decades of research and development, the MLS Laser was designed to treat conditions without the need for excessive heat treatment, physical contact, or injections, and stimulate healing and recovery with no pain or discomfort. This creates an Analgesic Effect in the body. This means that the laser uses specific wavelengths of light to decrease inflammation/edema. As inflammation/edema decreases, pain subsides quickly. This changes the way nociceptors (nerve endings) perceive pain which acts like painkillers, without the unpleasant side effects that pharmaceutical painkillers often evoke. MLS Laser treatment also has a therapeutic effect as it uses specific wavelengths to penetrate deep into tissue-activated injured cells. Mitochondria are activated, releasing ATP for quicker cellular repair and healing. As a result tendons, ligaments, and muscles repair faster. In simple terms, laser energy kick-starts the healing process, thereby speeding recovery.
Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy
MLS Laser Therapy offers a plethora of benefits for individuals seeking pain relief, headache management, muscle recovery, and more.
-
Pain Relief
Highly effective in managing various types of pain, including chronic pain, arthritis, and post-surgery discomfort. The laser light penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating the release of endorphins and promoting natural pain relief mechanisms. The laser light penetrates between 4-6 cm based on a variety of factors including skin thickness and target area. Often reverberated deeper to stimulate some of the effects associated with lasers at a deeper level than just 5 cm.
-
Headache and Migraine Relief
For those plagued by debilitating headaches and migraines, MLS Laser Therapy offers a drug-free alternative. By reducing inflammation and improving blood flow, it can alleviate the frequency and intensity of these painful episodes.
-
Accelerated Muscle Recovery
Athletes and active individuals can benefit from MLS Laser Therapy’s ability to speed up muscle recovery. It helps reduce inflammation and enhance tissue repair, allowing for faster healing after strenuous workouts or injuries.
-
Reduced Inflammation
Inflammation is a common factor in many health issues, and MLS Laser Therapy excels at reducing it. By decreasing inflammation, the treatment can improve overall comfort and mobility.
- Releases endorphins and enkephalins, as if you were out for a run
- Reconnects nerves and regenerates nerve connectivity
- Brings blood flow to the area and opens up capillaries
- Reduces scar tissue and accelerates healing by 40-50%
- Increases the osteoblast in the bone, in the first ten days only
- Increases ATP production (cell growth)
- Blocks the nociceptors to the brain (the gate theory)
- Allows oxygen and food loads into the cell
- Gets rid of the histamines and cytokines out of the cell
Applications of MLS Laser Therapy
MLS Laser Therapy has a diverse range of applications, making it a versatile tool for healthcare professionals. It treats pain and inflammation associated with neck and back injuries, work/sports injuries, arthritis, bursitis, tennis/golf elbow, sprains, strains, disc degeneration, spinal stenosis, knee conditions, herniated disc, plantar fasciitis, spondylosis, neuropathy, sciatica, and more.
-
Herniated/Degenerative Discs
Specifically made to target issues such as arthritis, herniated or degenerative discs, shoulder and neck pain, knee pain, spinal stenosis, or any other musculoskeletal pain. Many patients have been able to delay or cancel their surgeries because MLS Laser Therapy was able to alleviate their condition and reduce or eliminate their pain.
-
Orthopedic Conditions
It’s commonly employed to treat orthopedic conditions like osteoarthritis, tendonitis, and sprains. It can reduce inflammation and built-up scar tissue while encouraging regenerative blood flow back into the surrounding areas. The therapy can even alleviate pain and improve joint function.
-
Neurological Disorders
It's increasingly used for neurological conditions such as neuropathy, where it aids in pain management and nerve regeneration.
-
Wound Healing
In dermatology and wound care, MLS Laser treatments can accelerate the healing process by stimulating collagen production and tissue regeneration. It is utilized nationwide by many national sports teams for rapid recovery from injuries.
Combining Chiropractic Care and MLS Laser Therapy for Better Recovery Support
While MLS Laser Therapy can be a valuable standalone therapy, many people benefit from combining different approaches that support the body from multiple angles. Chiropractic care focuses on helping the body function and move more efficiently, while MLS Laser Therapy provides additional support for areas experiencing discomfort, inflammation, or slower recovery.
At Sound Corrections Chiropractic, we often look at how different therapies can work together as part of a personalized wellness plan. For individuals who may benefit from a more comprehensive approach, our Recovery Combo combines MLS Laser Therapy with PEMF Heat Mat Therapy to support relaxation, recovery, and overall body function.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with ongoing discomfort, or simply looking for additional support for your wellness goals, a customized approach can help determine which therapies best fit your needs.

Exploring Additional Recovery Therapies
Every person’s recovery needs are different, which is why having access to multiple supportive therapies can be valuable when creating a personalized plan. While MLS Laser Therapy focuses on supporting the body’s natural recovery processes, other advanced therapies may provide additional options depending on your goals and needs.
For individuals looking for additional support with stubborn areas of discomfort or recovery challenges, advanced regenerative healing therapy options like SoftWave Therapy may be worth exploring as part of a broader recovery-focused approach.
