MLS Laser Therapy FAQs

How does MLS Laser therapy work?2022-10-20T12:49:20+00:00

By directing the laser light energy directly into the inflamed or damaged tissues, your body’s natural healing process is accelerated. This direct contact enables light photons to penetrate the tissues and interact with molecules within the cells, this causes multiple biochemical effects including the permeability of the cell which allows for a sharp decrease in swelling, pain and inflammation that our clients experience.

High powered photons react with the chromophores in the mitochondria of the targeted cells to produce Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP), the chemical energy required for healing and cell rejuvenation. In simple terms, MLS Laser therapy accelerates healing and restoration by turning the light energy from the laser into healing energy that your body harnesses.

How many sessions of MLS Laser therapy will I need?2022-10-20T12:49:19+00:00

After a full clinical assessment of your condition, SO Podiatry will make a tailor made treatment plan for you. The number of sessions in your plan will depend on your condition, but this will be discussed at your initial appointment.

We usually advise a course of treatment of 6 sessions, 2 per week for 3 weeks. However one-off sessions can be booked. Please see our price list for details.

Are the results long lasting?2022-10-20T12:49:19+00:00

Masking or covering up a condition doesn’t work, this is where MLS Laser therapy is different, Therapeutic Laser Therapy is all about healing. When you feel better, you are better. Many of our patients feel the results immediately and have gone on to report long lasting pain relief, especially when a full course of treatment is booked. This is because each treatment is cumulative and the best results are often felt after 2 to 4 sessions.

Treatments take no longer than 20 minutes but the therapeutic benefit continues to soothe and heal long after you leave the clinic.

Does MLS Laser therapy hurt?2022-10-20T12:49:19+00:00

During this quick therapy which usually lasts between 5-20 minutes, there is very little or no sensation. Some patients describe feeling a mild, soothing warm sensation. Often results can be felt during or very soon after the first treatment. For chronic conditions it may take a few treatments for you to feel the effects, but on a cellular level the benefits will be immediate.

For some people there can be a slight pain which can begin roughly 6-24 hours after a treatment session, this is due to the healing process beginning. All healing begins with inflammation. This type of pain is particularly likely to arise when the health problems are chronic in nature and the nerves are highly sensitised. It usually subsides after a few days but can, in rare cases, last longer.

What conditions can be treated with MLS Laser therapy?2022-10-20T12:49:19+00:00

At SO Podiatry we have seen success with a variety of conditions, including but not limited to; arthritis, knee pain, low back pain, hip pain, foot and ankle pain, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, skin conditions, and inflammatory conditions.

When you visit the clinic we will discuss the best plan of action relevant to your condition to get you back on your feet again.

What should I wear for my treatment?2022-10-20T12:49:19+00:00

As the laser needs to have direct skin contact it would be best to wear loose fitting clothing that can be rolled back or easily removed. Shorts are always a good idea. Don’t worry, your privacy will be respected throughout your treatment.

For your safety, both you and your therapist will wear safety goggles which will be sterilised after use.

Testimonials

My 13yr old son first saw Stephanie for a biomechanics appointment. He had frequent calf strains/pulls, and had been injured for 8 weeks. As well as prescribing some insoles, Stephanie recommended specific strengthening exercises. He is now back to playing football 4 times a week, stronger than ever!

Mrs N Parkin

I found the service I got from Stephanie of SO Podiatry was excellent. She was very professional, knowledgeable and seemed to genuinely care about getting a good outcome. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and using her again.

S Gray, Worcester

Six months ago I visited So Podiatry and Steph was absolutely amazing in assessing my stance, posture, walking and running gait and then arranging for my custom orthotic insoles to be made by a leading UK supplier. She was informative, knowledgeable and communicative throughout, and I felt that the service was excellent value for money. The orthotics are amazingly comfortable and it took no time at all to get used to wearing them. I recently ran my first marathon, Steph’s advice, treatment and the custom made orthotics made all the difference.

Neil Dixon, Worcester

I can certainly rate Stephanie. My painful verrucae have totally gone, It is such a relief to be able to be on my feet without any pain after all these years.

A A, Worcester

After two treatments by Stephanie it was gone! No sign of the verruca on my heel at all. Everybody asks does it hurt. Yes, it does for a very short time. Pay affects people in different ways, for me it was so worthwhile that if I had another verrucae, I would be straight in to see Stephanie. The Swift microwave therapy causes a very short burst of pain, which makes one jump, but is over in seconds. It is no worse than needling. As the treatment progresses the discomfort level decreases to the point where at the end, I could hardly feel it. It really is no big deal ad I would recommend SO Podiatry and the Swift microwave treatment to anyone.

JRW

Knowing how Stephanie had helped a friend to be able to continue her professional dancing career, I knew I was seeing the right person for my injury. My expectations were more than satisfied in just three weeks and I have been able to walk pain-free after two sessions, the third visit just a check up. The healing and comfort level in my foot continues. Initially fearing I might be virtually house-bound and hobbling to get anywhere, I am able to forget any injury and lead my usual busy life with great joy … and I mean it!! I think everyone should see you Steph!

Mrs A Suganami

My 11-year-old daughter had multiple warts on her hands and multiple verruca on her feet. She was embarrassed and had low confidence due to these embarrassing skin lesions. We had tried helping her with over-the-counter remedies and nothing made a difference. We had read about swift microwave therapy and its success rate, so we booked an appointment to speak with Steph at SO Podiatry to see if this treatment would be successful. Swift microwave therapy was the treatment of choice and after two sessions the Veruca and warts have totally gone. Our daughter is now back to her cheerleading and rock climbing activities which she loves, and we’re pleased to say she is now a much happier and more confident girl.

J. King, Worcester

I’ve been coming to Steph for over a year now for toenail reconstruction and I can’t thank her enough for giving me my confidence back. My toenails have been damaged for years and I’ve always hidden my feet and felt self conscious about them but she’s made it possible for me to have them on show again and I’m so happy.

Miss C Parker

I used to suffer with incredible knee pain, it was a stabbing sensation that would stop me taking another step. It could be very painful, even at night so I took painkillers every morning and evening for it. Not any more. I just want to say thank you so much as can honestly say I haven’t had any pain in my knee since having MLS Laser treatment at SO Podiatry. I have since stopped taking all painkillers and I am using both legs as evenly as each other, it really is just amazing. At one point I thought I would need a knee replacement and now I’ve even thought about booking a cycling holiday.

Vanessa, Worcester

I have seen Steph over the last nine months with a variety of foot ailments and found her to be very professional and approachable. However, most importantly, she has managed to cure my various problems – ingrowing toe nail, verrucae, biomechanics and corn under nail! I have no hesitation in recommending her.
