MLS Laser Therapy at Hackney Podiatry
MLS® Laser Therapy is a safe, non invasive and painless therapy for the treatment of pain, inflammation and swelling.
Laser therapy can be used to treat muscle spasm, pain
and injury.
Laser therapy uses light to help to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling and to promote healing. Light energy is directed into inflamed or damaged tissue to accelerate the body's natural healing process. The laser is placed in direct contact with the skin which enables specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the tissue and interact with molecules within the cells to cause several biochemical effects.
How is MLS Laser used?
To begin with, you may have some laser as an addition to your initial assessment. Going forward it will be used in conjunction with other treatment modalities such as massage, exercise therapy and orthoses.
The laser is delivered using a hand piece which is applied to the body and some people report the movement of the hand piece over the skin is relaxing.
The number of treatment sessions varies from between 3-6 sessions and each episode of laser varies in length depending on the pathology and area being treated.
