Muscle & Ligament Tears/Strains FAQs
What is Class IV MLS laser therapy?
Class IV MLS laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light energy applied to painful or injured tissues. Unlike lower-powered laser devices, Class IV MLS systems allow deeper penetration while remaining controlled and safe when delivered by trained clinicians.
The MLS system combines two wavelengths at the same time, designed to work together to help manage pain and support the body’s natural tissue repair processes. Laser therapy is not a standalone treatment or a guaranteed solution, but it can be a helpful addition to a wider physiotherapy or osteopathy programme.
How does MLS laser therapy work?
MLS laser therapy delivers light energy to targeted tissues, which may help reduce pain sensitivity, support circulation, and encourage natural healing responses within the body. It is commonly used where pain or inflammation has become persistent or where recovery has slowed.
Treatment is comfortable and typically painless. At Bucks Osteopathy & Physio, laser therapy is only provided following a full clinical assessment to ensure it is appropriate for your condition and stage of recovery.
Conditions MLS laser therapy may help with
Class IV MLS laser therapy is commonly used for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those involving soft tissue injury or inflammation. These may include muscle tears and strains, ligament sprains, tendon pain and tendinopathy, joint pain and stiffness, sports injuries, and both recent and longer-standing soft tissue problems.
Laser therapy may also be used as part of post-injury or post-operative rehabilitation when clinically appropriate. If it is not suitable for you, your clinician will explain why and discuss alternative options.
What to expect during your appointment?
Your appointment will begin with a thorough assessment to understand your symptoms, medical history, and movement. This allows us to identify the underlying cause of your pain and decide whether MLS laser therapy is appropriate.
A typical appointment may include clinical assessment and diagnosis, explanation of your condition and treatment options, MLS laser therapy applied to the affected area, physiotherapy or osteopathy treatment where required, and advice on exercise, activity levels, and recovery.
Laser therapy sessions are usually brief and do not require any downtime afterwards.
