How MLS® Laser Therapy Works
Injuries to the feet could transform even basic activities into painful experiences.
With MLS® Laser Therapy, beams of light energy are targeted to the part of your body that needs healing.
This is done in order to aid the natural healing process of the body while managing symptoms like pain and inflammation.
You can view treatment as a kind of kick start to the body’s own healing process.
How It May Support Injury Recovery
MLS® Laser Therapy could prove beneficial in helping to relieve pain and inflammation that might occur because of specific injuries in your muscles and skeleton. This will make daily movements easier while the injury is being treated.
Ultimately, the recovery depends on the specific injury, its degree, and patient’s health status. MLS® Laser Therapy cannot substitute the medical care that you might need in such situations.
In our clinic Bellagio Foot & Ankle, the therapy can become a component of a more comprehensive treatment.
Which Foot and Ankle Problems May Benefit?
Treatment using MLS® laser therapy can be used for selected medical cases of pain and inflammation such as some tendon issues, sprains, arthritis pain and other musculoskeletal pains.
The podiatrist will need to identify the cause of the pain first. This is because an ankle sprain, stress fracture, tendon pain, and nerve pain can all feel alike.

MLS® Laser Therapy is non-invasive. Patients don’t need an incision or surgical procedure for the laser treatment itself.
The treatment is designed to target the affected area without breaking the skin. Your podiatrist can explain how many sessions may be appropriate based on your condition and response to treatment.
