Regenerative medicine has expanded rapidly in recent years, inspiring new therapies that support your body’s natural healing processes. In podiatry, one therapy that aligns with these principles is Multiwave Locked System (MLS) laser therapy, a noninvasive treatment designed to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair.
You cut yourself and a scab forms, or you develop a fever as a result of a virus — both are examples of your body doing what it should to heal itself. Regenerative therapies maximize, enhance, and speed up this process.
Over the past several decades, beginning with advances in stem cell research, regenerative treatments have been used to address orthopedic conditions. Ongoing research is now exploring how regenerative medicine could help with serious health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, and vision impairment.
At Premier Foot & Ankle, we offer MLS therapy, a noninvasive treatment that supports your body’s natural healing processes. Our team believes in providing our patients with the most advanced, cutting-edge treatments, and we’re excited to offer this game-changing therapy for an array of podiatric issues.
Put simply, MLS therapy is a highly targeted laser treatment that simultaneously directs two powerful energy wavelengths to stimulate tissue healing. This treatment offers many benefits, including:
MLS therapy raises cell turnover levels and reduces scar tissue development and inflammation — two things that hinder healing.
Another significant benefit is that MLS therapy helps a variety of foot and ankle issues, including plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the plantar fascia that causes heel pain), arthritis, tendinitis, and more. It’s also proven helpful for post-surgical healing and recovery, as well as supporting recovery after demanding sporting events, like marathons.
When you visit us for MLS therapy, we ensure you’re comfortable. Next, your podiatrist uses a small handheld device to deliver laser therapy to your targeted treatment area during a brief office visit.
Not only do patients report significant pain reduction in a short amount of time, but you can return to your normal activities as soon as you leave our office.
Typically, we recommend you come in for treatment 2-3 times a week. Your provider advises you about the duration of your treatment, depending on your condition or injury and its severity.
If you’re dealing with pain, discomfort, and mobility challenges, contact Premier Foot & Ankle to schedule a consultation to learn more about MLS therapy. Call one of our five convenient Texas locations today or book your appointment online anytime.
