MVMT utilizes a specific Laser to treat a widespread ailments. Our doctors may recommend this therapy for specific conditions, pain management, inflammation or swelling, or increased healing. Class 4 laser therapy has increased the effectiveness in our treatments

Why choose MLS Laser therapy

MLS Laser technology has an 85% – 90% efficacy rate in relieving pain and inflammation, eliminates risk from surgery and prescription painkillers, has no negative side effects, and restores patients’ lives. The MLS technology created is a result of over three decades of research based on varying wavelength emissions and their biological and chemical therapeutic effects.

How it Works:

Continuous laser emissions act fast on inflammation, stimulating blood and lymphatic circulation and inducing fast re-absorption of fluid build up; however they only have a secondary effect on pain, which is diminished after reducing the inflammatory process.

Pulsed laser emissions, on the other hand, have a practically immediate effect on pain, since they are able to induce analgesia (pain relief), interfering with the very transmission of the pain impulse to the higher brain centers, but they are less effective at treating inflammation and edema.

MLS laser therapy combines both continuous and pulsed laser emissions at alternating wavelengths. This ensures the area treated does not adapt to these laser emissions, and healing continues throughout the duration of the treatment protocol.

This treatment is available at all of our Houston offices and we have years of experience treating a variety of conditions with MLS laser therapy.

Benefits to using MLS Laser Therapy

  • Anti Inflammatory – MLS Laser Therapy has an anti-edema effect as it causes vasodilation, but also because it activates the lymphatic drainage system which drains swollen areas. As a result, there is a reduction in swelling caused by bruising or inflammation.
  • Analgesic – MLS Laser Therapy has a beneficial effect on nerve cells. It blocks pain transmitted by these cells to the brain which decreases nerve sensitivity. Also, due to the decreased inflammation, there is less edema and less pain. Another pain blocking mechanism involves the production of high levels of pain killing chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalin from the brain and adrenal glands.
  • Tissue repair and cell growth – Photons of light from lasers penetrate deeply into tissue and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can take on nutrients faster and get rid of waste products. As a result of exposure to laser light, damaged cells are repaired faster.
  • Improved vascular activity – Laser light will significantly increase the formation of new capillaries in damaged tissue which speeds up the healing process, closes wounds quickly and reduces scar tissue. Additional benefits include acceleration of angiogenesis, which causes temporary vasodilation and increases the diameter of blood vessels.
  • Increased metabolic activity – MLS Laser Therapy creates higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.
  • Reduced scar tissue formation – MLS Laser Therapy reduces the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns or surgery.
  • Improved nerve function – Slow recovery of nerve functions in damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. Laser light speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection and increases the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle healing.
  • Faster wound healing – Laser light stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue. Fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen, which is the essential protein required to replace old tissue or to repair tissue injuries. As a result, MLS Laser Therapy is effective post surgically and in the treatment of open wounds and burns.
MVMT Chiropractic Uses MLS Laser Therapy effectively to treat pain and inflammation associated with the following conditions:

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Neuromas
  • Neuropathies
  • Arthritis
  • Sports injuries
  • Tendon & ligament injuries
  • Back & joint pain
  • Muscle sprains & strains
  • Tendonitis
  • Wounds
  • Post-surgical swelling
  • Disc disease

How many treatments are necessary to see results?

Some patients may see immediate results. The majority of patients will require between 6 and 12 sessions depending on the region and severity of injury. Each treatment takes anywhere between 8-12 minutes and is cumulative. The recommended frequency is generally 2-3 times per week for 2-3 weeks.
