Neuropathy

If neuropathy is a part of your life, you know how this condition impacts every area of your life. While many prescription medications can alleviate the symptoms of this condition, few, if any, are without side effects and health risks. At LaserLab, we offer an alternative treatment with Summus Laser Technology that can treat this condition and improve your quality of life without adverse effects.

What Is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy, or peripheral neuropathy, is a condition resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves. It can cause weakness, numbness, and pain, typically in the hands and feet. In the United States, various types of neuropathy exist including:

  • Diabetic Neuropathy: The most common type, often resulting from long-term diabetes, leading to nerve damage due to high blood sugar levels.
  • Alcoholic Neuropathy: Caused by excessive alcohol consumption, this type can lead to nutritional deficiencies that damage nerves.
  • Idiopathic Neuropathy: This type has no identifiable cause but still leads to significant symptoms.
  • Hereditary Neuropathy: Genetic mutations can lead to conditions like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, affecting nerve function.
  • Infectious Neuropathy: Certain infections, such as Lyme disease or HIV, can cause nerve damage.
  • Toxic Neuropathy: Exposure to toxins, such as heavy metals or chemotherapy drugs, can lead to nerve damage.

What causes Neuropathy?

Causes of Neuropathy include:

  • Metabolic Disorders: Conditions like diabetes, hypothyroidism, and kidney disease can lead to nerve damage.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients, particularly B vitamins, can affect nerve health.
  • Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions where the immune system attacks the body, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, can result in neuropathy.
  • Infections: As mentioned, certain viral or bacterial infections can damage nerves.
  • Trauma: Injuries that compress nerves or cause direct damage can lead to neuropathy.
  • Chronic Inflammation: Conditions that cause chronic inflammation can also contribute to nerve damage.

Neuropathy Treatment With the summus laser

The Summus Laser is an advanced class IV laser therapy device that can treat the symptoms of neuropathy by addressing inflammation, pain, tissue degeneration, nerve damage, and poor circulation. Specifically, it can target damaged nerve tissue, and use its regenerative properties to ensure normal function. Damaged nerve tissue will result in pain, reduced mobility, muscle weakness, and numbness.

Still, with the Summus Laser, we can restore normal function to the nerves and, in doing so, alleviate these symptoms. This treatment process is effective for those suffering from many causes of neuropathy including Diabetes, chemotherapy, and many more.

Neuropathy and Diabetes

Diabetic neuropathy affects patients with diabetes and refers to nerve damage that results from long-term glycation (attributable to frequent blood sugar spikes. The symptoms associated with this condition can range from mild to severe. Common symptoms typically affect the lower extremities and include stabbing pain and numbness in the legs or feet. While typical treatment protocol includes maintaining stable blood sugar levels and taking different medications to manage pain, we offer an alternative solution.

We can design a treatment plan for diabetic patients suffering from this condition. We can use the Summus Laser to address these specific diabetes-related symptoms with powerful and customizable laser energy to help repair and restore healthy function to damaged nerves. These treatments are completely safe, non-invasive, pain-free, and effective and can restore your mobility and improve your quality of life.

What To Expect From Your Treatment

The Summus Laser is an advanced laser therapy device that can directly target damaged nerves to improve peripheral nerve function. It can address pain of different skinds such as tingling sensations, numbness, weakness, and lack of mobility. 

This non-invasive treatment uses advanced laser technology to restore normal nerve function without causing unwanted, adverse side effects. The treatment will not negatively affect your health but will use its regenerative capabilities to help restore your body and promote improved well-being. The treatment process is painless; most patients simply feel a warming or tingling sensation during laser treatments.
