Robotic MLS (Multiwave Locked System) laser therapy is the most advanced form of therapeutic laser treatment available, and Kosterman Chiropractic Center in Clinton, NC is proud to offer this cutting-edge technology to our patients. The robotic MLS laser system delivers simultaneous, synchronized emission of two specific laser wavelengths in a patented locked pattern — producing synergistic anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and biostimulative effects that far exceed what any single-wavelength laser can achieve.
The robotic delivery system ensures precise, consistent, and reproducible treatment across the entire target area — taking the guesswork out of laser application and maximizing therapeutic outcomes.
What Is MLS Laser Technology?
MLS stands for Multiwave Locked System — a patented technology developed in Italy that combines:
- 808nm continuous wavelength — for deep tissue penetration and powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects
- 905nm pulsed wavelength — for biostimulation and tissue regeneration
These two wavelengths are emitted simultaneously and synchronized in a patented pattern that creates synergistic effects significantly more powerful than either wavelength alone. The MLS system is FDA-cleared and has been the subject of extensive peer-reviewed clinical research demonstrating its effectiveness for pain, inflammation, and tissue repair.
The Advantage of Robotic Delivery
The robotic arm of our MLS system ensures that the laser is delivered at the precise distance, angle, and speed required to achieve optimal therapeutic dosing across the entire treatment area. This eliminates the variability inherent in hand-held laser application, ensuring every session is consistent, reproducible, and maximally effective. For conditions involving large or geometrically complex areas — such as the entire lumbar spine, a shoulder joint, or a knee — robotic delivery is particularly advantageous.
Conditions Treated with Robotic MLS Laser Therapy
MLS laser therapy has demonstrated clinical effectiveness for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain
- Arthritis and degenerative joint disease
- Disc herniations and sciatica
- Peripheral neuropathy and nerve pain
- Tendinopathies (rotator cuff, Achilles, patellar)
- Plantar fasciitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Sports injuries — sprains, strains, and muscle tears
- Post-surgical healing and scar tissue remodeling
- Soft tissue injuries from motor vehicle accidents
- Wound healing
What to Expect During Treatment
MLS laser therapy sessions are painless and relaxing. You may feel a gentle warmth in the treatment area during delivery. The robotic arm moves systematically over the target area while you simply rest comfortably. Sessions typically last 8–15 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. No special preparation is needed, and there is no recovery time. Protective eyewear is provided for both patient and clinician.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is MLS laser different from other laser therapies?
MLS laser’s dual-wavelength, synchronized emission creates synergistic effects not achievable with single-wavelength lasers. The robotic delivery system ensures consistent, precise treatment — making it the most advanced therapeutic laser system commercially available.
How many treatments will I need?
Most acute conditions show significant improvement within 6–10 sessions. Chronic or degenerative conditions may benefit from additional treatments. We will design your laser therapy protocol based on your diagnosis and clinical response.
Is robotic MLS laser therapy safe?
Yes. MLS laser therapy is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and has an excellent safety profile across thousands of clinical applications worldwide. The most important safety measure is wearing the provided protective eyewear during treatment.
Can MLS laser therapy be used with other treatments?
Absolutely. MLS laser therapy combines exceptionally well with chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, electrical stimulation, and soft tissue therapies — often enhancing the results of the overall treatment plan significantly.
Does MLS laser therapy hurt?
No. MLS laser therapy is completely painless. Most patients find sessions comfortable and pleasant, with some reporting a mild warming sensation in the treatment area.
