We offer MLS Laser Therapy as a stand alone treatment or in conjunction with any ongoing chiropractic, osteopathic or acupuncture care.
How does it work?
MLS Laser therapy involves directing laser light energy into inflamed or damaged tissues to accelerate the body’s natural healing process.
The laser is placed in direct contact with the skin which enables light photons to penetrate the tissue and interact with molecules within the cells to cause several biochemical effects.
MLS Laser Therapy has the following effects:
Inhibits the sensory nerve impulses associated with pain
Decreases inflammatory cells
Relaxes muscle spasms
Increases vascular supply and restores normal blood flow
Provides energy for the cells within the tissue allowing them to repair
MLS Laser Therapy is a safe, non-invasive and painless treatment for the reduction of pain, swelling and inflammation.
Can help manage the following conditions:
Muscle spasm and pain
Arthritis
Sprains & strains
Back pain
Hip pain
Knee pain
Sciatica
Bursitis
Tendonitis
Haematoma and oedema
What to expect at your first appointment
After a full clinical assessment of your condition, we will tailor make a treatment protocol just for you provided laser therapy is suitable for your condition. Dedicated MLS Laser appointments last approximately 15 minutes.
The number of sessions you will require will depend on your condition – this will be discussed in your initial appointment.
Treatments are quick and painless and often you will feel the results during the first treatment. For chronic conditions it may take a few sessions for you to feel the effects, but the cellular benefits will be immediate.
We offer dedicated MLS Laser treatment appointments or treatment can be booked in conjunction with a normal follow up appointment. If you have not visited us before and would like MLS Laser Therapy, you must book a standard new patient appointment.
*Please note there are some contraindications to the use of laser which include: pregnancy, pacemaker, over active growth plates in children, epilepsy and active cancer. There are also some restrictions in use and relative contraindications in patients who are taking anti-coagulants or are diabetic. For recent trauma including bruising it is advised to wait 48 hours after the event before commencing laser therapy. This is one of the reasons your practitioner will ask you to complete a detailed medical history prior to commencing treatment.
