Get to Know MLS Laser Therapy
At Intouch Chiropractic in San Diego, we make it our business to provide our patients with the highest caliber of chiropractic care and pain relief, which includes access to our revolutionary, custom combinations of NUCCA adjustments, spinal decompression treatments, shockwave therapy, and cutting-edge laser therapies. Our doctors provide Class IV Laser Therapy using the Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser for our many patients in Southern California with outstanding clinical results. MLS Laser is a multi-target medical device designed to treat patients suffering from a variety of health conditions. We selected this top-of-the-line piece of equipment specifically because it treats large areas instantaneously, providing exponential relief for the treated tissues.
MLS Laser Therapy for Enhanced Healing
MLS laser therapy is a non-invasive, safe, and effective laser treatment option. Laser therapy can be used to promote tissue healing, reduce inflammation, relieve chronic pain, and promote soft tissue repair and wound healing.
The laser therapy works by converting light into biochemical energy, promoting normal cell function, which causes symptoms (pain) to lessen or disappear. The primary biological action of the laser results from the stimulation of cellular transport mechanisms in the mitochondria, cell membranes, and epithelial tissues. This causes:
- The release of vasodilating chemicals
- The stimulation of DNA and RNA
- An increase in enzyme production
- An increase in superoxide dismutase activity
- Normalization of tissue pH
- Increased ATP production
Increased blood flow and improved microcirculation increase cellular nutrition, promoting tissue repair and remodeling. Significant reduction in swelling is also noted in many patients undergoing MLS Laser Therapy.

What Should I Expect During San Diego Laser Therapy?
The MLS laser is one of the most advanced therapeutic lasers available and is the only 1000-watt medical laser designed specifically for musculoskeletal care.
This powerful technology delivers precise, synchronized laser energy deep into injured tissues to help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and accelerate the body’s natural healing process. Treatments are completely non-invasive and typically take just 10–20 minutes, with most patients feeling little to no sensation during the session other than mild warmth.
Because the MLS laser can safely deliver higher power than traditional therapy lasers, it can treat larger areas of the body more efficiently while still providing targeted, controlled energy where healing is needed most. Patients often begin to notice improvements within the first few treatments, making the MLS Laser an effective option for conditions such as back pain, sciatica, joint injuries, tendonitis, and other soft-tissue problems.
What Are the Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy?
These are some of the benefits of our MLS laser therapy in San Diego:
- Anti-inflammatory: Laser therapy causes a reduction of swelling through increased vasodilation. It also activates the lymphatic drainage system, which drains excess fluid from soft tissues.
- Pain Reduction: The laser allows for decreased nerve sensitivity and increased levels of endorphins and enkephalin in the brain and adrenal gland.
- Faster tissue repair and cell growth: Photons of light from the laser accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. The laser light increases the energy available to the cell so the cell can absorb nutrients and release waste products more efficiently.
- Improved vascular activity: Laser therapy causes the acceleration of angiogenesis, the formation of new capillaries, and temporary vasodilation (an increase in blood vessel diameter.)
- Increased metabolic activity: The laser stimulates higher amounts of specific enzymes, greater oxygen, and more food particle loads for blood cells.
- Reduced fibrous tissue formation: With laser therapy, we see less scar tissue buildup following soft tissue damage from cuts, scratches, burns and even surgical incisions.
- Improved nerve function: Damaged tissue can result in numbness and impaired limbs. MLS speeds the process of nerve cell reconnection and increases the amplitude of action potentials to optimize muscle healing.
- Immunoregulation: MLS stimulates immunoglobulins and lymphocytes. The enzyme flavin mononucleotide is activated by the laser and starts the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the major carrier of cell energy and the energy source for all chemical reactions in the cells.
- Faster wound healing: MLS stimulates fibroblast development in damaged tissue. Fibroblasts are the building blocks of collagen, which is the essential protein required to repair tissue injuries.
MLS laser therapy is a genuine medical breakthrough therapeutic device with unparalleled applications and excellent treatment outcomes. It is the only multi-wave locked system on the market. MLS laser therapy can penetrate 3-4 cm and heals soft tissues, reduces pain and encourages damaged cells to repair. Deep penetration with this class IV laser allows for faster healing and has been cleared by the FDA since 2009.
