Benefits of Laser Therapy in Nerve Regeneration

Laser therapy has shown promising results in aiding nerve regeneration, as observed in various animal studies. Laser therapy helps to speed up healing processes and increase cell proliferation, which is crucial for nerve growth. Nerve injuries can occur in different ways, such as cutting, crushing, or chemical blockage, leading to functional changes and damage to the myelin sheath. Laser therapy addresses these issues by improving nerve regeneration, muscle re-innervation, reducing inflammation and pain, and enhancing the thickness of the myelin sheath. It also helps in normalizing pain perception, promoting neural growth factors, and supporting healthy gene transcription.
