How It Works

The Science Behind MLS Laser Therapy

MLS stands for Multiwave Locked System. It uses two specific laser wavelengths — 808nm and 905nm — working simultaneously and synchronously to produce a therapeutic effect that neither wavelength can achieve alone.

1
Laser energy penetrates deep tissue
The dual wavelengths penetrate 3 to 5 centimeters below the skin — deep enough to reach muscles, tendons, nerves, and joints in virtually any area of the body.
2
Reduces inflammation at the cellular level
The 808nm continuous wavelength generates a localized anti-inflammatory effect by reducing prostaglandins and cytokines — the chemical messengers that drive inflammation and pain.
3
Accelerates tissue repair
The 905nm pulsed wavelength stimulates mitochondrial activity in damaged cells — accelerating ATP production and speeding up the body's natural tissue repair process.
4
Provides analgesic (pain-blocking) effect
The combined wavelengths increase nerve conduction thresholds — producing a measurable analgesic effect that relieves pain both during and after treatment.

Conditions Treated

What MLS Laser Therapy Can Help With

MLS Laser Therapy is effective for a wide range of both acute and chronic conditions — especially those that haven't responded fully to other treatments.

Acute Sports & Activity Injuries
Sprains, strains, muscle tears, and overuse injuries — laser therapy accelerates healing time significantly compared to rest alone.
Chronic Back & Neck Pain
Long-standing pain that hasn't responded to other treatments often responds well to MLS laser — reducing inflammation in deep spinal tissues.
Arthritis & Joint Pain
MLS laser reduces joint inflammation, improves circulation to cartilage, and provides significant pain relief for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Nerve Pain & Neuropathy
Laser therapy has shown strong clinical results for nerve pain conditions — improving nerve conduction and reducing the burning, tingling sensation of neuropathy.
Post-Surgical Recovery
Accelerates tissue healing and reduces post-operative inflammation — helping patients recover faster from surgery and return to normal activity sooner.
Auto Accident Injuries
Excellent for soft tissue injuries, whiplash, and inflammation from car accidents — often combined with chiropractic care for comprehensive recovery.
Why Choose MLS Laser

What Makes MLS Different from Other Laser Treatments

Not all laser therapy is created equal. Here's what sets Class IV MLS Laser apart from lower-powered alternatives.

Class IV — Maximum Therapeutic Power
Class IV lasers deliver significantly more energy than Class III (cold laser) devices — enough to penetrate to the depths needed to treat deep muscle and joint conditions effectively.
Dual-Wavelength Synchronized Technology
The patented MLS system delivers two therapeutic wavelengths simultaneously — providing both anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects that single-wavelength devices cannot match.
Completely Safe & FDA-Cleared
MLS Laser Therapy is FDA-cleared for safety and efficacy. There are no known side effects and no recovery time — patients typically return to normal activities immediately.
Clinically Proven Results
Multiple peer-reviewed clinical studies confirm the effectiveness of MLS Laser Therapy — making it one of the most evidence-based advanced treatments in musculoskeletal care.
Common Questions

MLS Laser Therapy FAQ

Does MLS Laser Therapy hurt?
No — MLS Laser Therapy is completely painless. Most patients feel a gentle warming sensation during treatment, which many find quite pleasant. There are no needles, no pressure, and no discomfort. Sessions typically last 10 to 20 minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition. Acute injuries may respond well in 4 to 6 sessions. Chronic conditions often require 8 to 12 sessions for optimal results. Dr. Addess will give you a recommended course of treatment after your initial evaluation. Many patients notice improvement after just 1 to 3 sessions.
How quickly will I feel results?
Many patients experience noticeable pain relief within 24 to 48 hours of their first session. Acute injuries often respond faster than chronic conditions. The full anti-inflammatory and tissue repair effects build progressively over the course of treatment — so results continue to improve with each session.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
No downtime whatsoever. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after their session. Unlike surgery or invasive procedures, there's no recovery period. You can drive yourself to and from appointments and resume your day as normal.
Can MLS Laser be combined with chiropractic or physical therapy?
Absolutely — and this is often our recommendation. MLS Laser Therapy works synergistically with chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy. The laser reduces inflammation and enhances tissue healing, which helps the body respond better to chiropractic care and makes physical therapy exercises more effective and comfortable.
