Foot Laser Therapy Frequently Asked Questions



Are there any risks involved with foot laser therapy?

Foot laser therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment with minimal to no side effects. Most patients experience a warm sensation during the procedure. It’s considered a safe alternative to surgery or medication for treating pain and inflammation.



How soon can I return to normal activities?

With laser therapy, most patients return to daily activities almost immediately, though strenuous exercise may require a few days of rest. For surgical patients, a gradual return is advised based on healing progress and your podiatrist’s recommendations.



Is laser therapy covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by provider and insurance plan. While some insurance policies may consider laser therapy experimental or elective, others may provide partial coverage. We’re happy to check with your insurance and discuss affordable self-pay options if needed.

MLS Laser Therapy — Bloomfield Hills Podiatrist

Watch Dr. Biernacki demonstrate MLS Multiwave Locked System laser treatment at our Bloomfield Hills office — FDA-cleared photobiomodulation therapy for plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, and post-surgical recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MLS laser therapy painful?

No — MLS laser is completely painless. Patients feel mild warmth or a gentle tingling during the 10–20 minute treatment. There is no anesthesia, no needles, and no downtime. Most patients read or relax during sessions. Many patients actually feel relief during or immediately after their first treatment.

What makes MLS laser different from other laser therapies?

MLS Multiwave Locked System uses two synchronized wavelengths: 808nm (continuous) for deep anti-inflammatory effects and 905nm (pulsed) for pain relief and microcirculation. This patented synchronization is more effective than single-wavelength lasers, with results lasting longer after treatment completion.

Is MLS laser covered by insurance?

MLS laser therapy (photobiomodulation) is currently considered an elective procedure by most insurance carriers, though this is changing as clinical evidence grows. We offer affordable per-session and package pricing. Many patients find the cost comparable to or less than co-pays for repeated conventional therapies.

Foot pain — Frequently Asked Questions

When should I see a podiatrist for foot pain?

If symptoms persist beyond 2 weeks of self-care, interfere with daily activity, or worsen suddenly, schedule a podiatrist evaluation. Early intervention typically shortens recovery and prevents chronic compensation patterns.

Will I need imaging or surgery?

Most foot pain cases resolve with conservative care—custom orthotics, supportive shoe changes, anti-inflammatory protocols, and targeted physical therapy. Imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, MRI) is reserved for cases that fail conservative treatment or when structural pathology is suspected. Surgery is rarely the first option.

Does insurance cover foot pain treatment in Michigan?

Most major Michigan insurance plans (BCBS, BCN, Priority Health, HAP, Medicare, Medicaid HMOs, United, Aetna, Cigna) cover medically necessary podiatric care. Custom orthotics may have separate DME coverage rules. Our team verifies your specific benefits before your visit.
