10 Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy

Benefits 1-5

1. ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Reduces inflammation and edema by stimulating lymphatic drainage and vasodilation

2. ANALGESIC

Stimulates the production of endorphins and enkephalin to block the transmission of pain signals to the brain. Reduced pain is also a secondary result of reduced edema and inflammation.

3. ACCELERATED TISSUE REPAIR AND CELL GROWTH

Photons penetrate deep into the tissue and accelerate cellular growth and reproduction. Laser increases the energy available to cells so they can take on nutrients, remove waste, and repair themselves faster.

4. IMPROVED VASCULAR ACTIVITY

Increases the formation of capillaries in damaged tissue to accelerate the healing process. Additional benefits include temporary vasodilation and an increase in blood vessel diameter.

5. INCREASED METABOLIC ACTIVITY

Create higher outputs of specific enzymes, greater oxygen and food particle loads for blood cells.

Benefits 6-10

6.TRIGGER AND ACCUPUNCTURE POINTS

Stimulate accupuncture and trigger points to non-invasively provide musculoskeletal pain relief.

7. REDUCED FIBROUS TISSUE FORMATION

Reduce the formation of scar tissue following tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns, or surgery.

8. IMPROVED NERVE FUNCTION

Accelerate the process of nerve cell reconnection and increase the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle healing.

9. IMMUNOREGULATION

Stimulate immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. Activate the enzyme flavomononucleotide to start the production of ATP - the major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.

10. FASTER WOUND HEALING

Stimulate the development of fibroblast- an essential protein for tissue repair. As a result, the MLS Laser Therapy is effective for post surgical healing and the treatment of open wounds and burns.

The team might utilize manual therapy as part of your treatment for:

Which techniques does manual therapy use?

The team can personalize your physical therapy care plan using various manual therapy techniques. These evidence-based practices can target muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and other soft tissues. Dallas Orthopedic and Shoulder Institute uses manual therapy techniques like: Joint manipulation

Joint manipulation specifically targets your joints, including your spine. These hands-on techniques place joints into proper alignment, so they’re less painful and stiff. You might benefit from joint manipulation if you have arthritis or a herniated disc. . Soft tissue massage

A soft tissue massage varies in tissue depth with a variety of strategies, including stretching, compression, kneading, percussion, and stroking.
