Frequently Asked Questions

What is MLS laser therapy?

Laser therapy has long been used to help treat conditions related to chronic pain. Targeted light allows photons to penetrate tissue and create specific biological effects. The multiwave locked system (MLS) laser addresses symptoms related to inflammation, pain, and edema, providing more benefits than traditional low-power lasers without the dangers of high-power laser therapy. The MLS laser can penetrate about 3-4 centimeters into the tissue, delivering a therapeutic effect that’s more accurate and effective than other methods.

At Gershon Pain Specialists, the team uses MLS laser therapy to address a wide range of symptoms and conditions related to the musculoskeletal system, including:
