MLS® M7 Laser Therapy at MaineCHI
Noninvasive laser therapy to help manage pain, reduce inflammation, and support recovery.
At Maine Comprehensive Health Institute (MaineCHI) in Winslow, Maine, we offer MLS® M7 Class IV Laser Therapy for patients seeking a drug-free, noninvasive option for musculoskeletal pain and recovery. Whether you are managing a recent injury or ongoing discomfort, our team can help determine whether laser therapy belongs in your individualized care plan.
What Is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS stands for Multiwave Locked System. Our M7 device uses two synchronized wavelengths of light—808 nm continuous and 905 nm pulsed—to deliver photobiomodulation therapy to targeted tissues. This technology is designed to help modulate pain and inflammation and support tissue-repair processes. The treatment is noninvasive and does not involve injections or surgery.
MLS is a Class IV therapeutic laser, but it is designed for nonthermal treatment rather than cutting or burning tissue. A clinician selects settings and directs the laser to the treatment area while patients wear appropriate eye protection.
How Does MLS Laser Therapy Work?
The synchronized light wavelengths are applied to targeted tissues as photobiomodulation therapy. The technology is designed to help modulate pain and inflammation and support tissue-repair processes. Your clinician selects the treatment area and settings based on your care plan.
Conditions We May Treat
MLS Laser Therapy may be considered as part of a treatment plan for:
- Neck and back pain
- Arthritis and other joint pain
- Tendonitis, including Achilles tendonitis
- Muscle pain, strains, and sprains
- Bursitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Sciatic pain and some other neuropathic pain conditions
- Diabetic neuropathy-related symptoms

- Selected wounds, burns, and postsurgical recovery concerns, when clinically appropriate
This is not a complete list. Some conditions require additional evaluation or different treatment. Ask your provider whether MLS therapy may be appropriate for you.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
- Our team reviews your symptoms and the area to be treated.
- You are positioned comfortably and provided with protective eyewear.
- The laser is applied to the selected treatment area using the appropriate treatment head and settings.
- Most people can return to routine activities afterward, subject to their clinician’s recommendations.
Treatment duration varies by the area and protocol. MLS therapy is generally comfortable; tell your provider if you experience unexpected discomfort.
How Often Are Treatments Recommended?
Newer injuries and acute pain may respond more quickly than long-standing conditions. At MaineCHI, we generally recommend starting with 2–3 treatments per week for the first 1–2 weeks. After that, treatment frequency is adjusted according to your condition, goals, and response. Your provider will recommend a personalized plan; improvement is not guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does MLS laser therapy hurt?
Treatment is generally comfortable and noninvasive. Let your provider know about any unusual sensation or discomfort.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of visits depends on your condition and response. We commonly begin with 2–3 visits per week for 1–2 weeks and reassess.
Can I combine laser therapy with other care?
Often, yes. Your provider may recommend laser therapy alongside rehabilitation, chiropractic care, acupuncture, or other appropriate treatments.
