At Northside Osteopathy in Aspley, we offer MLS Laser Therapy, one of the most advanced non-invasive treatments for muscle, joint, and tendon pain. This evidence-based therapy uses synchronised dual-wavelength light to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and accelerate the body's natural healing process.
What Is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS Laser Therapy (Multiwave Locked System) uses two synchronised wavelengths — 808 nm (continuous) and 905 nm (pulsed) — to treat both pain and inflammation simultaneously. The continuous wave targets inflammation and oedema, while the pulsed wave focuses on pain reduction and tissue repair. This dual action allows deeper tissue penetration without generating heat or discomfort.
How MLS Laser Therapy Works
The MLS laser stimulates biological activity at the cellular level, enhancing oxygenation, circulation, and tissue regeneration. It helps by:
- Blocking pain signals between nerves and the brain
- Stimulating endorphin release for natural pain relief
- Reducing inflammation through improved lymphatic drainage
- Increasing blood flow and capillary formation in damaged tissues
- Accelerating cell repair and reducing scar tissue formation
Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy
Key benefits include:
- Pain Reduction: Decreases nerve sensitivity and boosts natural pain-relieving chemicals.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Promotes vasodilation and lymphatic activity to reduce swelling.
- Enhanced Healing: Accelerates cell growth and encourages faster repair of muscles and tendons.
- Safe and Non-Invasive: Pain-free, drug-free, and safe for patients of all ages including over metal implants.
