MLS Laser Therapy in Canberra
Faster healing. Less pain. Better movement.
MLS LASER THERAPY
We’re excited to offer MLS Laser Therapy at Capital Podiatry — an advanced, non-invasive, pain-free cold laser designed to reduce pain, calm inflammation, and help your body heal faster.
If foot, ankle or leg pain is slowing you down, MLS Laser Therapy may help you get back to moving comfortably sooner.
What Is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS Laser Therapy is a modern laser treatment that uses light energy to support your body’s natural healing process.
It can help to:
- Reduce pain
- Settle inflammation and swelling
- Speed up healing of muscles, tendons and joints
Unlike older laser treatments, MLS uses two types of laser light at the same time, allowing treatment to reach deeper tissues and produce more reliable results.
The laser energy works at a cellular level, giving injured or irritated tissue the energy it needs to repair properly — rather than just masking symptoms.
How Does MLS Laser Therapy Help?
In simple terms, MLS Laser Therapy gives your cells a boost.
When the cold laser light reaches the injured area, it helps to:
- Increase cellular energy so tissues can heal faster
- Improve blood flow and oxygen delivery
- Reduce chemicals that cause pain and inflammation
This often leads to:
- Less pain
- Less swelling
- Faster recovery
- Better movement and function
Why MLS Is Different
MLS Laser Therapy uses two laser wavelengths, each with a different role:
Pain Relief
One wavelength helps calm irritated nerves and reduce pain signals, making movement more comfortable.
Healing & Inflammation Control
The second wavelength focuses on reducing swelling, improving circulation, and supporting tissue repair.
These two wavelengths are delivered together in a precise, controlled way — something unique to MLS technology — for stronger and more consistent results.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
We’ve made the process simple, comfortable and easy to fit into your routine.
1. Thorough Assessment:
Your podiatrist will:
- Talk through your symptoms and goals
- Assess how you stand, walk and move
- Examine the muscles, tendons and joints involved
Because we focus on biomechanics, we don’t just treat where it hurts — we look at why it hurts.
2. The Treatment:
During Treatment: The treatment itself is typically painless and relaxing. You won’t feel heat or discomfort. Some patients describe a mild sensation, but most feel nothing at all.
Treatment Duration: Individual sessions typically last from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and nature of the area being treated. The convenience of short treatment times makes it easy to schedule appointments around your work and personal commitments.
Treatment Frequency: Most patients benefit from 2-3 treatment sessions per week initially, reducing as the affected area responds.. Your podiatrist will develop a personalised treatment plan based on your specific condition and response to therapy.
Integrated Care: At Capital Podiatry, we often incorporate MLS Laser Therapy into comprehensive biomechanical appointments. This means your laser treatment may be combined with other services such as gait analysis, foot mobilisation, dry needling, or orthotic adjustments for optimal results.
Follow-Up: After your initial course of treatment, we’ll assess your progress and determine if additional maintenance sessions would be beneficial. For many conditions, the positive effects of MLS therapy are long-lasting.
Conditions We Commonly Treat

Part of a Bigger Picture
At Capital Podiatry, MLS Laser Therapy is rarely used on its own.
Depending on your needs, it may be combined with:
Pain Relief
One wavelength helps calm irritated nerves and reduce pain signals, making movement more comfortable.
Healing & Inflammation Control
The second wavelength focuses on reducing swelling, improving circulation, and supporting tissue repair.
These two wavelengths are delivered together in a precise, controlled way — something unique to MLS technology — for stronger and more consistent results.
