Class 4 MLS Laser Therapy in Dunedin, FL
Class 4 laser therapy is a high-power, drug-free treatment that uses deep-penetrating light to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling and support tissue healing. At Hayes Family Chiropractic in Dunedin, FL, we use the M6 MLS robotic laser, a patented Class IV system, for chronic pain, arthritis and post-surgical recovery. It complements our Class 2 cold laser, chiropractic services and complete laser therapy program.
What Is the M6 MLS Robotic Laser?
The M6 is a Class IV robotic laser built on patented MLS (Multiwave Locked System) technology. It synchronizes two wavelengths, a continuous 808 nm emission and a pulsed 905 nm emission, so it can address pain, inflammation and edema at the same time. This goes beyond traditional low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and standard high-power (HP) laser therapy. The robotic head moves automatically over the treatment area, delivering a precise, consistent dose every session. Our team is trained in programming and using the M6 to match your condition. Because the laser reaches deeper tissues than a low-level laser, it is especially helpful for larger joints, the spine and long-standing pain.
How Deep Tissue Laser Therapy Works
Through photobiomodulation, laser light activates the mitochondria within cells, boosting cellular energy, improving circulation and calming inflammation. Patients often describe a gentle, soothing warmth during treatment.
