At our practice, we're proud to offer one of the most advanced laser treatment systems available today—the revolutionary MLS (Multi-Wave Locked System) laser. This cutting-edge technology represents a significant breakthrough in non-invasive pain relief and healing for foot and ankle conditions, delivering unprecedented results for our patients suffering from heel pain, plantar fasciitis, sports injuries, and chronic foot pain.

State-of-the-Art Laser Technology

Our new MLS laser is among only a handful of these advanced systems currently available in the United States. This represents the latest generation of therapeutic laser technology, capable of producing up to 1,000 watts of peak power—a remarkable advancement compared to previous laser systems that typically generate only 50 to 75 watts. This means our new laser delivers 14 times more therapeutic power than earlier technologies, allowing for deeper tissue penetration and significantly enhanced healing potential.

Dual Wavelength Innovation

What makes MLS laser therapy truly unique is its dual wavelength system. The laser utilizes two synchronized wavelengths working together in perfect harmony:

  • 808 nanometer wavelength – Provides anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effects
  • 905 nanometer wavelength – Delivers analgesic (pain-relieving) effects

The system features six 905 nanometer diodes synchronized together, creating an extraordinary amount of therapeutic energy. This multi-wave locked system ensures that both wavelengths work in perfect synchronization to maximize treatment effectiveness.

How MLS Laser Therapy Works

MLS laser therapy delivers concentrated light energy deep into damaged tissues, triggering natural healing processes at the cellular level. When treating conditions like heel pain and plantar fasciitis, we apply the laser across the entire plantar fascia (the thick band of tissue on the bottom of your foot), the intrinsic foot muscles, and the affected nerves.

Cellular-Level Healing

The therapeutic mechanism works by:

  • Increasing ATP Production: The laser energy penetrates to the mitochondria—the powerhouses of your cells—and accelerates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production. ATP is the fundamental energy molecule that powers cellular repair and regeneration.
  • Improving Blood Flow: Enhanced circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues, accelerating the healing process.
  • Reducing Edema: The anti-inflammatory effects help reduce swelling and fluid accumulation in injured areas.
  • Relieving Pain: The synchronized wavelengths provide rapid pain relief by reducing inflammation and stimulating natural pain-blocking mechanisms.

Safe, Painless, and Effective Treatment

Despite its tremendous power, MLS laser therapy is completely safe and painless. The laser operates using a pulsed delivery system, which prevents heat buildup and eliminates any risk of burns or tissue damage. Patients typically experience only a gentle warming sensation during treatment, making it an ideal option for those seeking effective pain relief without invasive procedures or medications.

Conditions Treated with MLS Laser Therapy

Our advanced MLS laser system is highly effective for treating a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including:

  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Sports injuries and strains
  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Neuromas and nerve pain
  • Post-surgical healing
  • Chronic foot and ankle pain
  • Tendon and ligament injuries

Experience the Difference

If you're suffering from chronic foot or ankle pain, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, or any other lower extremity condition, our advanced MLS laser therapy may provide the relief you've been seeking. This revolutionary technology offers a non-invasive, medication-free approach to healing that works at the cellular level to address the root cause of your pain.
