Deep dives
Laser therapy for diabetic neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy, caused by high sugar levels, can lead to nerve damage that is often considered irreversible. However, recent studies have shown that laser therapy can stimulate nerve healing and regeneration, resulting in decreased pain and increased nerve function. Laser therapy works by using light to stimulate the biology of tissues, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue repair. In one study, laser therapy increased microvascular skin circulation by 35.8% and led to a 26.4% decrease in pain over a four-week period. Laser therapy offers a non-invasive and side-effect-free alternative to traditional pain relief methods.
