MLS Laser Therapy | Long Island, NY Podiatrist

When foot or ankle pain interferes with your mobility, comfort, or ability to stay active, recovery becomes the top priority. Unfortunately, soft tissue injuries—such as sprains, tendon issues, or ligament damage—can take weeks or even months to heal on their own. Thanks to modern advances in medical technology, that healing process can now be accelerated.

At Restore Podiatry, we’re proud to offer MLS Laser Therapy, a breakthrough treatment that helps reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and provide long-lasting relief for foot and ankle pain—without surgery or medications.

What Is MLS Laser Therapy?

MLS Laser Therapy is an FDA-cleared, Class IV medical laser that uses dual infrared light wavelengths to penetrate deeply (up to 2 inches) into tissue. By targeting the root cause of foot and ankle pain, it stimulates natural healing while reducing inflammation.

This therapy works by:

Calming inflammation around injured tissues
Repairing damaged ligaments, tendons, and joints
Restoring healthy circulation
Regenerating cells for faster recovery

How MLS Laser Therapy Works

MLS stands for Multiwave Locked System, which combines two synchronized laser wavelengths:

808 nm wavelength → Reduces swelling and promotes healing
905 nm wavelength → Provides fast pain relief

Together, they target injured areas in the feet and ankles, restoring function and easing discomfort at the source.
