Pain from an arthritic knee, a stubborn tendon or a strained back has a way of taking over your day. Medications only go so far, and not everyone wants an injection or surgery right away. MLS laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to help reduce pain, decrease inflammation and support the body’s natural healing response. At Sellers Sports Medicine in Tempe, sessions are quick and comfortable, and most patients go right back to their day afterward.
MLS stands for Multiwave Locked System. Unlike older “cold laser” devices, an MLS laser combines multiple wavelengths in a synchronized delivery system, so a treatment can target inflammation and pain at the same time and is designed to reach deeper tissues than many traditional low-level lasers.
Our clinic uses the M7 MLS Therapy Laser from Cutting Edge Laser Technologies. The light energy is thought to stimulate cellular activity and increase circulation at the treatment site, which may help reduce pain and inflammation without surgery or medication. Therapeutic lasers don’t cut or heat tissue the way surgical lasers do. For a full overview, read What Is MLS Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy is worth discussing if:
Ongoing pain often changes how you move, which can stress other joints. Getting an evaluation early helps you choose the right plan.
Laser therapy is used throughout sports medicine and orthopedic care. Conditions we commonly treat include:
Arthritis and joint pain, including knee arthritis. (Read: Can MLS laser therapy help knee arthritis?) Laser therapy doesn’t regrow cartilage, but it may help reduce inflammation and support healthier surrounding tissues.
Tendonitis and tendinopathy, tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff conditions and other shoulder injuries, and plantar fasciitis.
Muscle strains, ligament sprains and acute sports injuries.
Neck and back pain, sciatica and neuropathy.
Support for recovery after orthopedic procedures or injections.
MLS laser therapy can be used on its own or as part of a larger plan.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is another non-invasive option that uses acoustic waves for stubborn tendon and soft-tissue problems. Learn what shockwave therapy is and what it treats. Dr. Sellers will help you decide whether laser, shockwave or both fit your condition.
Laser therapy also pairs well with PRP Therapy. PRP uses your own concentrated platelets to stimulate the body’s healing response, while laser therapy may help manage inflammation and support recovery afterward. Read how combining laser therapy with PRP can improve patient outcomes. For broader options, see our orthobiologics page.
Every patient responds differently, and results are not guaranteed. Dr. Sellers will set realistic expectations for your situation.
Tempe’s lifestyle is hard on joints and tendons. Runners and cyclists around Tempe Town Lake, hikers on South Mountain and Papago, year-round golfers and a growing pickleball crowd all deal with overuse injuries, and the summer heat adds to the strain. The East Valley’s active-adult population often lives with knee and shoulder arthritis that makes everyday movement harder. For many of these patients, a drug-free, no-downtime option fits easily into a busy week.
Our clinic is on South Mill Avenue, convenient for patients across the area.
Service-area line: We see MLS laser therapy patients from Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Gilbert, Guadalupe and Ahwatukee.

MLS (Multiwave Locked System) lasers synchronize multiple wavelengths to target pain and inflammation at the same time and are designed to reach deeper tissues than many traditional low-level lasers.
Many patients use it as part of a conservative plan to help reduce inflammation and pain and improve mobility. It does not regrow cartilage.
Yes. Laser therapy is often paired with PRP or used to support recovery after injections or orthopedic procedures.
It is non-invasive and doesn’t cut or burn tissue. Dr. Sellers will review your health history to make sure it’s appropriate for you.
