Laser Treatments for Pain Relief Now Available in Evansville, Indiana

MLS (Multiwave Locked System) laser therapy uses two synchronized wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into tissues. This process:

✅ Reduces pain and inflammation

✅ Accelerates healing by increasing cellular energy production (ATP)

✅ Improves circulation and tissue repair

Unlike traditional lasers, MLS therapy delivers a controlled and consistent dose, ensuring safe and effective results.

This therapy is effective for a wide range of conditions, including:

🔹 Arthritis & joint pain

🔹 Tendonitis & bursitis

🔹 Neuropathy & nerve pain

🔹 Sports injuries & sprains

🔹 Back & neck pain

🔹 Plantar fasciitis

🔹 Post-surgical healing

If you’re struggling with chronic pain or an injury, MLS laser therapy may be the solution you’ve been looking for!

Yes! MLS laser therapy is FDA-cleared and has been proven to be safe and effective when performed by trained professionals. Unlike other high-powered lasers, MLS technology delivers energy in a pulsed, controlled manner—preventing overheating or tissue damage.

The number of treatments depends on your condition, but most patients start feeling relief after just 3-5 sessions. A full treatment plan typically consists of 6-12 sessions for long-term pain relief and healing. We’ll create a customized care plan to ensure you get the best results possible.

Not at all! The treatment is painless and relaxing. Most patients describe a gentle warming sensation during the session, but there’s no discomfort, downtime, or side effects—just faster healing and better mobility.

During a laser treatment session, the patient reclines comfortably while the practitioner applies a specific wavelength of light to the affected area. This light penetrates deep into tissues, stimulating healing processes in tendons, wounds, and other structures. The treatment targets various conditions, including those affecting the ureter and lymphatic drain system. Patients typically experience a warm sensation as the laser energy promotes cellular repair and reduces inflammation.

The number of laser treatment sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated, such as bursitis or dermatitis. Typically, patients experience relief as the light therapy stimulates endorphin release and promotes healing. For chronic conditions, a series of 6-12 sessions may be recommended, while acute issues might resolve in 3-6 treatments. The practitioner assesses progress and adjusts the treatment plan accordingly, ensuring optimal results without the need for invasive procedures like catheter insertion:

Before laser treatment, patients consult with a physician to discuss their injuries and health care needs. During the session, they may experience a mild warming sensation as the laser delivers electrical impulses to targeted areas. After treatment, patients often report reduced pain without the need for paracetamol, though individual experiences vary. The process typically follows these steps:

Cold laser therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of light to damaged tissues, stimulating cellular activity and promoting healing. This non-invasive treatment penetrates the skin to reach deep tissues, addressing conditions like psoriatic arthritis and back pain without exacerbating inflammation. The therapy increases oxygen delivery to cells, enhancing their ability to repair and regenerate. While not used for skin cancer treatment, cold laser therapy effectively reduces pain and inflammation in various musculoskeletal conditions:

Stimulates cellular activity

Promotes tissue healing

Increases oxygen delivery to cells

Reduces inflammation

Alleviates pain in various conditions

Cold laser treatments offer specific benefits for various conditions, including myalgia and joint pain in the hip. This therapy improves blood circulation, promoting faster healing and reducing inflammation. Patients often experience decreased pain and increased mobility, particularly in areas like the hip joint. While distinct from shockwave therapy, cold laser treatments similarly target deep tissues to alleviate discomfort and promote healing:

Reduces inflammation in joints and muscles

Improves blood circulation to affected areas

Alleviates myalgia and joint pain

Promotes faster healing of injured tissues

Increases mobility, especially in hip joints

Cold laser therapy effectively treats various conditions affecting the knee, sprain injuries, and weight-related joint issues. This non-invasive approach provides relief without medication, making it suitable for patients seeking alternatives to traditional pain management. Research suggests potential benefits for brain-related conditions, though more studies are needed. Cold laser therapy addresses the following conditions:

Knee osteoarthritis

Acute and chronic sprains

Weight-related joint pain

Sports injuriesTendinitis

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Fibromyalgia

Piriformis Syndrome

Headaches

Laser treatments for pain relief generally have minimal side effects and risks. Patients may experience temporary redness or mild spasms in the treated area, but these typically subside quickly. The therapy does not interfere with hair growth or dermatological conditions. While rare, some individuals might notice changes in motion or sensation immediately after treatment. Patients taking aspirin or other blood thinners should inform their provider to ensure safe application of laser therapy.

The duration of laser treatment results varies depending on the condition treated and individual factors. Patients should consult with Dr. Andrew to determine the optimal treatment plan and expected outcomes. Factors influencing result longevity include:

Severity of the condition

Number of treatment sessions

Patient's overall health

Adherence to post-treatment care

Lifestyle factors

Patients undergoing laser therapy at Dr. Lobacz's office in Evansville report significant improvements in their quality of life. Many individuals experience reduced pain and increased mobility, allowing them to resume daily activities and hobbies they had previously abandoned. One patient with chronic shoulder pain regained the ability to play tennis after a series of laser treatments, while another reported improved sleep quality and reduced reliance on pain medication.

While laser therapy can be effective for pain relief, home-use devices may not provide the same level of treatment as professional equipment. It's best to consult a chiropractor or healthcare provider for proper evaluation and guidance on using laser therapy for your specific condition.

A typical laser treatment session in a chiropractic office usually lasts between 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the specific condition being treated and the area of focus. The duration may vary based on the patient's needs and the treatment plan established by the chiropractor.
