Finding Relief with MLS® Laser Therapy for Neuropathy
Neuropathy can feel like walking on broken glass, with sensations of burning, tingling, or numbness often affecting the feet and legs. For many, these symptoms interfere with sleep, balance, and simple daily tasks. Traditional medication can provide some relief but often comes with side effects or only partial improvement.
This leaves many patients asking: Is there another option?
At Quantum Footcare, patients are now finding a gentler, more advanced option: MLS® Laser Therapy for neuropathy. This technology helps reduce nerve pain, improve circulation, and encourage natural healing, making it a valuable tool for those seeking a non-invasive approach to long-term relief.
How MLS® Laser Therapy Works
MLS stands for (Multiwave Locked System), an advanced form of medical laser technology designed to synchronise two wavelengths of light. This unique combination promotes cellular regeneration and reduces inflammation deep within the tissues.
The first wavelength works to reduce swelling and inflammation, while the second stimulates cell repair and boosts blood flow. When used together, they calm overactive nerve signals and support recovery of damaged tissue.
In simpler terms, MLS laser therapy restores communication between the nerves and brain, helping the body move from chronic irritation toward natural repair. It is safe, painless, and requires no medication or downtime.
Why MLS® Laser Therapy Helps in Neuropathy
Neuropathy often develops as a result of diabetes, chemotherapy, trauma, or circulatory problems. These conditions cause nerve fibres to misfire, sending incorrect pain signals to the brain. Over time, this creates sensations like tingling, burning, or “pins and needles.”
MLS® Laser Therapy helps by:
- Reducing nerve inflammation — calming irritation that amplifies pain.
- Enhancing blood circulation — improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to damaged nerves.
- Stimulating nerve repair — promoting regeneration for better sensation and movement.
Many patients notice gradual improvements after several sessions, such as decreased pain intensity, better foot awareness, and improved balance — especially beneficial for those whose neuropathy affects walking stability.
A study in Scientific Reports – PMC also supports these outcomes, showing measurable improvements in peripheral nerve function after consistent laser treatment.
Real Patient Results
Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy
A 55-year-old gentleman developed tingling and loss of sensation in his hands and feet following chemotherapy. Tasks like holding utensils and buttoning shirts became difficult. After completing a course of MLS® Laser Therapy, his dexterity improved and sensation in his fingertips returned, restoring independence in daily activities.
Diabetic Neuropathy
A 63-year-old patient living with Type 2 diabetes experienced nightly burning pain in both feet. After six sessions of MLS® Laser Therapy, she reported sleeping through the night for the first time in years. By the 12th session, she was walking comfortably again without relying on strong painkillers.
Post-Surgical Nerve Pain
A 48-year-old woman developed sharp, electric-like pain after ankle surgery. Despite medication, discomfort persisted for months. After undergoing MLS® Laser Therapy, her pain significantly reduced, allowing her to walk naturally again and regain mobility
What to Expect During Treatment
Each MLS® Laser Therapy session is quick, lasting around 10–15 minutes. The experience is completely painless — most patients describe it as gentle warmth on the skin.
- No downtime: You can resume normal activity immediately after treatment.
- Cumulative effect: Results build progressively, typically noticeable after 3–6 sessions.
- Non-invasive and drug-free: Ideal for patients who cannot tolerate or prefer to avoid medication.
At Quantum Footcare, treatment plans are tailored based on each patient’s condition and sensitivity levels. The number of sessions varies depending on the severity and duration of neuropathy.
The Science Behind MLS® Laser Therapy
MLS® Laser Therapy has been widely researched for its role in reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and promoting tissue repair.
Studies published in ScienceDirect – Photomedicine found that low-level laser therapy enhances tissue regeneration and reduces oxidative stress, while research in Springer Laser in Medical Science showed improved pain scores and functional recovery after multiwave laser treatments.
Further evidence from the Medicine Journal (LWW) demonstrated that gallium-aluminium laser therapy can significantly reduce neuropathic pain by stimulating cellular repair and improving microcirculation. More recently, a dedicated study on MLS® Laser Therapy—Effects of MLS-Laser on Neuropathic Pain in Diabetic Sensorimotor Neuropathy—confirmed a marked decrease in pain levels and enhanced nerve function in diabetic patients.
A review in BMC Geriatrics notes that photobiomodulation is particularly helpful in older adults, improving mobility and pain control without medication.
In addition, a meta-analysis in Systematic Reviews concluded that laser phototherapy effectively reduces inflammation and supports faster recovery.
Together, these findings confirm that MLS® Laser Therapy stimulates mitochondrial activity within cells, boosts energy production, and enhances blood flow—key factors for restoring nerve health and relieving chronic neuropathic pain.
Benefits of MLS® Laser Therapy for Neuropathy
Patients often notice benefits such as:
- Reduction of burning and tingling sensations
- Improved foot sensitivity and balance
- Better sleep quality due to less night pain
- Increased mobility and comfort when walking
- Enhanced tissue healing following nerve injury or inflammation
While results vary, most individuals experience sustained improvement with consistent treatment. For diabetic neuropathy, the therapy can also complement other interventions by promoting better blood flow and nerve health.
What Makes MLS® Laser Therapy Different
Unlike single-wavelength lasers, MLS technology combines continuous and pulsed light for deeper, more even penetration. This reduces inflammation and pain simultaneously.
Clinical literature consistently reports improvements in pain levels and function with multiwave systems, including those summarised in Systematic Reviews.
Is MLS® Laser Therapy Right for You?
If you experience persistent nerve pain, tingling, or numbness in your feet or legs, it is important to undergo a full podiatry assessment to identify the underlying cause. At Quantum Footcare, a detailed evaluation of nerve and vascular health helps determine if MLS® Laser Therapy is suitable for your condition.
Because the therapy is non-pharmacological and non-invasive, it can be safely used alongside other treatments such as orthotic support, footwear modification, and physical rehabilitation exercises.
Your Next Step
Living with neuropathy can be exhausting, but there are treatment options beyond pain medication. MLS® Laser Therapy for neuropathy offers a gentle, clinically proven solution that targets the root cause of nerve pain.
If you are struggling with symptoms like burning, tingling, or loss of sensation, book a consultation at Quantum Footcare to explore how MLS® Laser Therapy could support your recovery and help restore confidence in your movement.
