What Is Robotic MLS Laser Therapy?
Robotic MLS laser therapy uses light energy to treat pain from outside the body. A robotic arm guides the laser over the treated area, so the light is placed precisely and consistently throughout each session. It is not an injection and is separate from our orthobiologic procedures.
How Does It Work?
Light energy passes through the skin and is absorbed by cells in the treated area. It is thought to support local blood flow and calm inflammation, which may help ease pain and support your body’s natural healing response. Response varies from person to person.
Is It FDA Cleared?
Our laser is FDA cleared for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, muscle spasm, and stiffness, and for temporarily increasing local blood circulation. Using it for a specific condition beyond these uses is based on Dr. Ghattas’s medical judgment.
What Is It Used For?
- Plantar fasciitis
- Tendinopathy and tendonitis
- Muscle strains, sprains, and spasm
- Joint and soft tissue pain
- Swelling after a procedure or surgery
Dr. Ghattas will tell you whether laser therapy is a good fit for your condition.
Does It Hurt?
No. Most patients feel a mild, gentle warmth.
What Happens During a Session?
Sessions take place in our office and typically last 10 to 20 minutes. You rest comfortably while the robotic arm moves the laser over the treated area. There is no recovery time, and you can return to your normal activities right away.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
It depends on your condition and how you respond. Dr. Ghattas will recommend the number of sessions at your consultation.
Can It Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes. Laser therapy can be used on its own or alongside shockwave, EMTT, or an orthobiologic procedure. It may be scheduled before a procedure, after one once the area is ready, or as part of a longer recovery plan.
What Should I Tell the Team Before Treatment?
Let us know if you are or may be pregnant, have a tumor or active cancer in the treatment area, or are sensitive to light.
Is It Covered by Insurance?
Most insurance plans consider laser therapy investigational and do not cover it. Our team can review self-pay and CareCredit financing options with you at your consultation.
Coverage and financing options vary by patient and are not guaranteed. Confirm current terms with our team and with CareCredit directly.

Results vary. Not all patients are candidates. Dr. Ghattas will discuss whether this treatment fits your care plan.
