MLS Laser Therapy

Post-Operative Use of MLS Laser Therapy

In situations where surgery is necessary—say after a bunion reconstruction—MLS laser therapy can be used as part of a post-surgical plan extremely effectively. The laser therapy helps surgical wounds heal faster, minimizes swelling, and reduces post-surgical pain—which in turn will reduce your reliance on painkilling medications.

What Is Treatment Like? What Can I Expect?

MLS laser therapy sessions are painless and can be completed in just a few minutes. You may experience a slight warming sensation in the area being treated, but there should be no discomfort.

You don’t need to do anything to prepare for a treatment session, and there is no downtime afterward.

The number of treatment sessions required varies from person to person, and also depends on the condition being treated. A program of six sessions spaced out over a few weeks is typical for post-surgical applications. For some conditions, fewer sessions may be required; for others, more.

One important thing to note is that MLS therapy sessions provide more than just temporary relief. It is not like a painkiller or cortisone shot. The treatment is actually stimulating your body’s repair mechanisms and healing the injury, so the sessions have a cumulative effect. Many people report significant improvement after just one or two sessions, with results getting better and better each time.

As we stated earlier, it’s normal for patients to see their recovery times slashed by almost half when using MLS laser therapy. Studies have shown a very high overall success rate, too, with as much as 90 percent of patients saying that MLS laser therapy worked for them. That said, it’s important to note that effectiveness will always vary from person to person.
