Chronic foot and ankle pain can interfere with every part of daily life—from walking comfortably to enjoying your favorite activities. At New Canaan Podiatry, we are committed to offering advanced, evidence-based treatments that help our patients heal faster and feel better. One of the most effective non-invasive treatments we offer is MLS Laser Therapy, a state-of-the-art solution for pain relief and tissue healing.
Whether you’re suffering from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, arthritis, or lingering sports injuries, MLS Laser Therapy may be the breakthrough treatment you’ve been looking for.
What Is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses synchronized laser wavelengths to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and accelerate healing at the cellular level. Unlike traditional cold laser systems, MLS technology combines continuous and pulsed laser emissions, allowing for deeper tissue penetration and more effective results.
This advanced therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes without the need for surgery, injections, or medications.
How MLS Laser Therapy Works
MLS Laser Therapy works by delivering concentrated light energy directly to injured or inflamed tissues. This energy is absorbed by cells, increasing cellular metabolism and improving circulation in the affected area. As a result:
- Inflammation is reduced
- Pain signals are diminished
- Tissue repair and regeneration are accelerated
- Swelling decreases
- Mobility improves
Each treatment session is quick, painless, and requires no downtime.
Conditions Treated with MLS Laser Therapy
At New Canaan Podiatry, MLS Laser Therapy is commonly used to treat:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Heel pain
- Arthritis of the foot and ankle
- Neuropathy
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Sports injuries
- Chronic foot and ankle pain
- Post-surgical pain and inflammation
Your podiatrist will evaluate your condition and determine if MLS Laser Therapy is appropriate for your specific needs.
Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy
Patients choose MLS Laser Therapy because it offers numerous advantages, including:
- Non-invasive and drug-free treatment
- No injections or surgery required
- Minimal to no side effects
- Short treatment sessions (typically under 15 minutes)
- No recovery time or activity restrictions
- Safe and effective for both acute and chronic conditions
Many patients experience noticeable pain relief after just a few sessions.
What to Expect During Treatment
During an MLS Laser Therapy session, the laser device is placed over the affected area. You will feel little to no sensation—most patients describe the experience as relaxing and comfortable. Treatments are typically performed multiple times per week over several weeks, depending on the severity of the condition.
Your treatment plan will be customized to ensure optimal results.
