Conditions That Can Benefit From Laser Therapy

Kate Perkins • September 20, 2022

What is Laser Therapy?

Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy using MLS Laser is a non-invasive treatment that helps to reduce pain and inflammation from acute and chronic conditions so that patients can return to everyday activities faster. We are thrilled to offer MLS Laser Therapy at Coastal Rehab Hub.


It has been shown to be effective for treating many conditions because it can target almost every part of the body, penetrating deep into the tissue, without affecting surrounding areas. There are no know side effects and no sensation during treatment – it’s so relaxing that some clients fall asleep!
