Persistent pain can affect work, sleep, mood, and movement. At Body & Soul™ Holistic Family Medical Center in Elkins Park, PA, we address pain with practical services that support healing and day-to-day function. Alongside diagnostics, rehab guidance, and medication when needed, we offer M7 MLS laser therapy—a noninvasive option for many musculoskeletal concerns.
Founded in 1997 by Dr. Juliette Louis-Charles, a board-certified Family Medicine physician, our center blends conventional care with an integrative perspective. Patients appreciate our calm setting, clear explanations, and steady follow-through.
What Is M7 MLS Laser Therapy?
M7 MLS laser therapy uses synchronized light wavelengths to reach targeted tissues. The light energy is absorbed by cells, supporting circulation and the body’s natural recovery processes. Sessions are comfortable and quick, and there’s no downtime—making it a useful option for busy schedules or for people looking to reduce reliance on medication.
What happens during a typical session? After a brief evaluation, the laser handpiece is applied to the affected area for several minutes. Most people feel a gentle warmth or no sensation at all. A series of visits is common because results build over time.
Conditions Commonly Addressed
MLS laser therapy is often used for:
-
Arthritis and joint pain (knees, shoulders, hands)
-
Tendonitis and overuse concerns (tennis elbow, Achilles issues)
-
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
-
Strains, sprains, and sports injuries
-
Bursitis
-
Neck and low-back pain
-
Carpal tunnel–related discomfort
-
Post-surgical or post-injury soreness (as appropriate)
-
Peripheral neuropathy symptoms (selected cases)
When helpful, we pair laser sessions with mobility work, physical therapy referrals, bracing, ergonomic changes, or home routines like stretching and pacing strategies.
Benefits You May Notice
Patients struggling with chronic pain or recovering from injuries often choose MLS laser therapy because:
-
It’s non-invasive & drug-free: No injections or incisions.
-
It provides a comfortable experience: Most sessions take only minutes.
-
It calms irritation: Helps reduce swelling and stiffness.
-
It supports tissue recovery: Useful after strain or overuse.
-
It fits into existing rehab plans: Works alongside exercise and manual therapy.
Your plan is based on your condition, health history, and goals. We review progress at each visit and adjust the approach as needed.
Is MLS Laser Right for You?
A short consultation helps determine fit. We review your diagnosis, recent imaging or labs, medications, and any implanted devices. Laser therapy isn’t used over active cancer sites, in pregnancy over the abdomen, or over certain implants. If another path would serve you better, we’ll explain options clearly.
How We Build Your Pain Plan
Your unique pain management plan will involve:
-
Assessment: History, exam, and review of prior records.
-
Plan design: Visit schedule for laser sessions plus home strategies (activity pacing, stretches, sleep and stress support, nutrition guidance).
-
Rehab coordination: Collaboration with physical therapists or specialists when needed.
-
Follow-up: Track response and fine-tune the plan.
