Robotic Laser Therapy

The science behind Robotic Laser Therapy

Robotic laser therapy uses light to promote and accelerate the body’s natural healing responses. In doing so, a laser beam is moved over the skin, allowing the light energy (photons) to penetrate the tissue where it interacts with various molecules (chromophores). This process produces a beneficial photochemical, photothermal, and photomechanical effect.

When administering laser therapy to patients, the Orthohealing Center’s elite team uses the world’s first and most advanced robotic laser system—the innovative Multiwave Locked System® (MLS ®) Therapy Laser. This patented, FDA-cleared Class IV technology synchronizes dual wavelengths with continuous and pulsed emissions to efficiently and simultaneously address pain, inflammation, and edema. It is this unique combination and synchronization of continuous and pulsed emissions that characterizes MLS® and distinguishes it from other Class IV lasers. Unlike early-generation Class IV technology, MLS® Laser Therapy has the capability to deliver controlled laser energy. This unique feature provides more accurate therapeutic dose delivery and therefore more consistent treatment outcomes.

Conditions treated with Robotic Laser Therapy

MLS® Laser Therapy is administered to address the symptoms associated with the following conditions:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Neuromas
  • Neuropathies
  • Arthritis
  • Sports, tendon, and ligament injuries
  • Back and joint pain
  • Muscle sprains and strains
  • Tendonitis
  • Wounds
  • Postsurgical swelling
  • Disc disease

Benefits of Robotic Laser Therapy

The MLS® robotic laser allows us to treat our patients’ pain, inflammation, and edema safely, efficiently, and simultaneously. With no associated risks, side effects, medications, downtime, or recovery time, it’s an attractive modality for individuals hoping to delay or avoid surgery. Additional benefits include:

  • Protection against thermal damage
  • Potential analgesic effects
  • Potentially accelerated tissue repair, cell growth, and wound healing
  • Accuracy of therapeutic dose delivery to enhance treatment results
  • A demonstrated ability to improve vascular activity and metabolic activity
  • A capability to target trigger points and acupuncture points
  • A demonstrated ability to reduce fibrous tissue formation
  • The potential to improve nerve function
  • The potential to repair / improve immunoregulation

Is Robotic Laser Therapy safe?

The Orthohealing Center’s advanced MLS® laser delivers therapeutic wavelengths that exceed the treatment limitations of traditional low power lasers while simultaneously minimizing the risk of thermal damage. This nonsurgical approach is well-tolerated and has no affiliated risks, side effects, drugs, or medications.

Is Robotic Laser Therapy painful?

Most patients experience a warm, often soothing feeling when receiving MLS® Laser therapy. And many treated individuals report immediate improvements related to range of motion, pain, muscle tension and tightness, and inflammation. With minimal post-procedure restrictions, patients are generally able to return to their regular activities and routines immediately after sessions. (However, overexertion should be avoided for a few days.)

How long are Robotic Laser Therapy sessions?

This drug-free, noninvasive procedure lasts five to 10 minutes long, on average. Actual session times depend on the condition being addressed, the size of treatment area, and the depth of penetration needed.

How many Robotic Laser Therapy sessions are typically needed?

Diagnosis and individual response to treatment inform the number of sessions ultimately required to maximize outcomes. Please note that a series may be necessary for optimal results.

Can Robotic Laser Therapy be combined with other treatments?

Our physicians customize treatment plans based on each patient’s specific diagnosis, tolerance to treatment, and condition. Laser therapy may be combined with other modalities such as:
