Thousand Oaks MLS Therapy
Treatment for Foot & Ankle Pain
Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment for painful foot and ankle inflammation. Laser therapy works by applying beams of energy deep into muscle and tissue to stimulate the cells and prompt reproduction. Essentially, MLS laser therapy works but jumpstarting the body’s healing processes.
MLS laser therapy is used in the treatment of the following:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Neuromas
- Neuropathies
- Arthritis
- Sports Injuries
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Tendinitis
- Muscle strains and sprains
- Wounds
- Post-surgical swelling
The MLS device is unlike other laser therapy technology in that it delivers controlled energy to the treatment area, allowing physicians to use a higher dose of energy without worrying that it will damage surrounding areas.

How Does it Work?
MLS Laser therapy is a painless treatment that usually only takes around eight minutes. Patients are positioned on a table as the laser is targeted over the inflamed area. A highly precise, dose of laser energy is applied to the area. MLS lasers have a wide range that allows them to penetrate deep into body tissue- far more so than some other lasers such as tattoo removal devices.
The energy from the laser increases circulation in the area, bringing more oxygen into the inflamed tissue that stimulates cell growth and recovery. When the treatment is finished, you should experience some relief that will continue to improve as your body heals.
Benefits of MLS Laser Therapy?
Multiwave Locked System (MLS) Laser Therapy is a medical treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to promote healing and provide relief from pain and inflammation. Here are some of the benefits associated with MLS Laser Therapy:
Pain reduction: MLS Laser Therapy has been shown to effectively reduce pain associated with various conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders, sports injuries, arthritis, neuropathy, and post-surgical pain. The laser energy helps to stimulate the production of endorphins, which are natural painkillers, leading to pain relief.
Reduced inflammation: MLS Laser Therapy helps to reduce inflammation by targeting the inflamed tissues and cells. It can be particularly beneficial for conditions such as tendinitis, bursitis, and other inflammatory conditions. By reducing inflammation, the therapy can improve mobility and reduce swelling.
Accelerated healing: The laser energy used in MLS Therapy stimulates cellular activity and promotes the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the energy source for cells. This increased cellular energy helps accelerate the healing process for both acute and chronic conditions, such as wounds, fractures, and soft tissue injuries.
Non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical: MLS Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that does not involve surgery or the use of medications. It provides a safe alternative for individuals who may prefer to avoid pharmaceutical interventions or invasive procedures.
Improved range of motion: By reducing pain, inflammation, and promoting tissue healing, MLS Laser Therapy can lead to an improved range of motion in joints and muscles. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with conditions that restrict movement, such as arthritis or joint injuries.
Enhanced recovery from sports injuries: MLS Laser Therapy is commonly used in sports medicine to help athletes recover from injuries faster. It can aid in reducing pain, inflammation, and swelling, allowing athletes to resume their training and performance more quickly.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of MLS Laser Therapy may vary depending on the specific condition and individual characteristics. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if MLS Laser Therapy is suitable for your specific needs.

"Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable."
Dr. Gifford and her team are amazing and I recommend Dr. Gifford without hesitation. She provided me with multiple options to address Achilles issues. I ultimately needed surgery and the results have allowed me to walk without pain and return to activities I had been missing. My incision site is imperceptible. Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable.- Carrie D. -
"I highly recommend this place!"
The process was smooth and efficient from the start. After filling out "contact us" form on their website, I received a call within 30 minutes to set up my appointment. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. When I arrived, I handed them the printed form, and I was seen almost immediately. Dr. Patel was fantastic—he took the time to listen to all my concerns, identified the cause of my issue, and provided a clear solution. He even showed me at-home remedies and offered tips on how to prevent the problem in the future, without making me feel pressured to buy any treatment products. He went above and beyond in his care. Overall, a great experience!- Emma -
"This is what medical care should be!"
Excellent customer service, and thorough care. Dr. Patel was down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and skilled (my kind of doc). The office was clean, and well-run. Billing was smooth as well without any of the hiccups you get at other offices. This is what medical care should be!- Ashutosh S. -
"Can't thank her enough"
Dr. Gifford was very knowledgeable with explaining the cause of my heel pain and gave me a painless injection. She was very friendly and took her time with answering all my questions. Can't thank her enough because I'm back to my normal workout routine without any pain!- Ryan G. -
"I highly recommend!"
Dr. Patel and his staff were absolutely incredible! I was having issues with my foot for about 5 years and I had been to numerous doctors without success. Then I met Dr. Patel and I’m happy to report that my issue is now solved! So thankful and could not be happier. Everyone here is super nice, down to earth and they genuinely care about you, the patient, which was super important to me. I was very impressed with how they go about their business and I highly recommend!- Matthew D. -
"They do excellent work and care about their patients."
Going to performance foot and ankle. It's like going to your salon or Barber. Once you find a good stylus, you won't leave them. Doctor Patel and his staff are like that. My dad has been going to them for years he's 102 years old. They do excellent work and care about their patients.- Verby N.
