Laser Therapy Basics for Podiatrists
Laser therapy uses light to accelerate the body's natural healing process. The laser beam is moved over the skin so that the light energy (photons) penetrates the tissue where it interacts with various molecules (chromophores) that cause different biological effects.

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Class 3B
These lasers use very low power, are limited to surface bio stimulation, and often require many treatment sessions and long treatment times. Results are only achieved at the end of the treatment cycle, and results are limited because of the use of only one or two wavelengths that are not synchronized.

10 Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy for Podiatrists:
An energetic synergy is created when delivering these wavelengths that produces greater anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects than either can produce on its own, while minimizing the risk of thermal damage. It is this unique combination and synchronization of continuous and pulsed emissions that characterizes MLS Laser Therapy and distinguishes it from other Class IV lasers.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain and is responsible for up to 15% of all foot symptoms requiring medical care in the adult population. MLS® Laser Therapy has been shown to be safe and effective in treatment of painful orthopedic conditions, although no randomized controlled studies have evaluated its efficacy for the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis.

The Changing Landscape of Healthcare
With steep competition in the medical marketplace and reimbursement models changing, many healthcare professionals are seeking new ways to boost revenue, expand service offerings, and improve patient results.
The number of doctors opting to join hospitals rather than build their own practice is increasing. According to a Medical Group Management Association survey, hospital-owned practices increased more that 25% in the last decade, bringing the total percentage to 55%.
