MLS Laser Therapy harnesses the healing power of light energy. The MLS Laser uses two synchronized wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and underlying tissue of the affected area, relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and stimulating the healing process.  Simply put: Laser therapy triggers metabolic reactions in the cells that can help you recover faster and with less pain. If you've tried other treatments without success, our laser for pain has helped many patients get better, faster. Laser for pain is suitable for all ages, providing a safe and painless option for managing chronic discomfort.
