Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy using MLS Laser – Q & A with Kate Perkins
What is PBM Therapy using MLS laser?
Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy, using MLS Laser, helps to overcome the painful symptoms typical of musculoskeletal disorders, post operative inflammation, side effects of cancer related treatments and more, so that patients can return to everyday activities faster.
Why did you introduce the laser into the clinic?
The new technology to the clinic, backed by 30 years of research, enables us to open services to a wider patient population including, post orthopaedic surgeries, accelerating wound healing and surgical sites, and enhance our current treatment cancer rehab and lymphoedema practices. Based on current evidence, PBM Therapy using MLS Laser, prevents and significantly reduces radiation dermatitis.
How does it work?
MLS Laser uses two light wavelengths, synchronising pulsed and continuous light wavelengths to reduce inflammation, reduce pain symptoms, reduce swelling, and accelerate healing of wounds and surgical sites.
MLS Laser Therapy is a medical breakthrough therapeutic device with unparalleled applications and treatment outcomes. The laser works by converting light into biochemical energy, resulting in normal cell function, which causes symptoms (PAIN) to reduce significantly.
The primary biological action of PBM Therapy results from stimulation of cellular transport mechanisms in the mitochondria, cell membranes and epithelial tissues. This action causes the release of vasodilating chemicals, the stimulation of DNA and RNA (building blocks) synthesis, an increase in enzyme production, normalisation of tissue Ph and increased ATP production (healing of the cells from the inside).
What conditions can benefit from laser?
- Lymphoedema
- Prevents radiation dermatitis
- Surgical and radiation scar tissue
- Arthritis
- Bursitis
- Chronic and acute pain
- Degenerative joint and disc disease
- Foot, ankle, hip, and knee pain
- Hand, wrist, and elbow pain
- Muscle sprains, strains, and spasms
- Plantar fasciitis
- Post–surgical pain and inflammation
- Sciatica
- Sports injuries
- Tendonitis
- TMJ dysfunction and craniofacial pain
Who is PBM therapy suitable for?
It is suitable for use before, during and after a wide variety of procedures to enhance outcomes and improve patient satisfaction and comfort. We will evaluate your condition and perform a complete laser therapy examination to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.
What results can patients expect to experience?
PBM Therapy using MLS Laser is about healing. It’s not about masking or covering up a condition. When you feel better from this therapy it’s because you are better. Therefore, results have been found to be quite long lasting.
Is PBM therapy painful?
Treatment in non–invasive, pain free, and highly effective.
Do patients need a referral?
No a referral is not required.
