The average human body contains hundreds of tendons — tough, sinewy tissues that connect your muscles to your bones to enable movement.
Given this important role and how many tendons the body has, it should come as no surprise that 30% of doctor visits for musculoskeletal problems involve tendon issues, with tendonitis leading the pack.
The good news is that our team is better equipped than ever to handle tendon issues thanks to the advanced laser technologies we have at Neuropathy & Pain Centers of Texas. At the center of this technology is our innovative MLS® (multiwave locked system) M6 Robotic Therapy Laser, which offers many advantages.
MLS lasers emit two wavelengths of energy, and one — the 905 nanometer (nm) wavelength — is specifically designed to tackle pain. With our M6 laser, we deliver pulses of this light energy that disrupt the pain signals to your brain, bringing you fast relief from your tendon discomfort.
Our M6 laser system also delivers 808nm waves, which make up a steady laser energy that addresses inflammation and prevents fluid buildup in and around your tendons.
When we combine the wavelengths of energy into a continuous, pulsing laser treatment, the resulting light energy stimulates photochemical reactions in your cells that encourage rebuilding and repair of your tendon. MLS laser treatments also lead to vasodilation and better blood flow to your damaged tendons, which can greatly speed healing.
Our MLS laser system is a perfect solution for a wide range of tendon issues that include tendonitis, tendinosis, and tenosynovitis. Some more specific of tendon issues our lasers can help include:
At the heart of each of these common conditions is tendon damage that causes pain and inflammation.
Tendon issues can be painful, so you don’t really want to add to your discomfort with invasive treatments. The good news is that our MLS laser therapy is completely noninvasive — the light energy passes harmlessly through your skin and into the tissues below.
Not only are MLS laser treatments noninvasive, but they’re also painless, which means there’s no downtime after your treatments. Quite the contrary — as you progress through your MLS laser treatments, you should be feeling increasingly more comfortable and stronger.
So, if you’re struggling with a painful tendon issue, we’ve got you covered with our noninvasive and highly effective MLS laser technology.
To schedule your MLS treatments or if you have more questions about this novel approach to musculoskeletal care, feel free to call or message one of our offices in Waco, Arlington, Wichita Falls, or Fort Worth, Texas, today to schedule an appointment.
