Cold Laser vs. Class IV vs. MLS — What's the Difference?
Cold laser therapy (also called low-level laser therapy or LLLT) uses low-power light to stimulate healing at the cellular level. It is comfortable and safe, but lower power can mean slower results for deeper tissue.
Class IV laser therapy delivers much higher power for deeper penetration, but generates heat that must be managed carefully during treatment.
MLS (Multiwave Locked System) laser therapy — the technology we use at Premier Chiropractic — synchronizes two wavelengths (808nm continuous and 905nm pulsed) to reach deep tissue like a Class IV laser with the comfort and safety profile of a cold laser. Most patients feel little or no sensation during a session.

Frequently Asked Questions
When might MLS laser therapy be recommended?
MLS laser therapy may be recommended when inflammation, swelling, tissue irritation, or pain is limiting movement and function. It may be used as part of a broader treatment plan based on your exam findings, symptoms, goals, and any necessary X-rays when clinically appropriate.
Is laser therapy usually covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan, diagnosis, and recommended care. Premier Chiropractic can help verify benefits and explain direct-pay options if laser therapy is not covered.
How long does it take to notice improvement?
Some patients notice improvement after the first few sessions, while chronic or more irritated conditions may need a longer series. Progress is monitored based on pain, mobility, and function.
How is laser therapy different from shockwave therapy?
MLS laser therapy is often used for inflammation, swelling, and tissue repair. Shockwave therapy is often used for chronic tendon pain and stubborn soft-tissue problems. The better option depends on the condition and exam findings.
What does MLS laser therapy feel like?
MLS laser therapy is usually painless and may feel warm or soothing over the treatment area. There is no incision, injection, or downtime for most patients.
