What is Laser Therapy?

Monday, 14 January 2019 00:00

Among various podiatrists, MLS Laser Therapy is often used as a successful alternative to surgery or prescription medication for treating foot pain caused by various podiatric conditions.  Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser Therapy uses light to accelerate the body’s healing processes.  During the treatment, a laser beam is moved over the skin, allowing the light energy to enter the tissue and cause the desired effect.  Despite being a “laser” treatment, MLS Laser Therapy does not hurt or burn.  A slight warming sensation at the site of application is normal and is a sign that inflammation is being alleviated.

MLS Laser Therapy is a successful alternative for treating any pain you may be experiencing related to certain podiatric conditions.  If you are interested in MLS Laser Therapy, consult with Dr. Ronald K. Olm from Grand Traverse Foot & Ankle Center. Our doctor will assess your condition and provide you with quality foot and ankle treatment.
