High Power Laser Therapy for Neuropathy

Neuropathy is a condition where the nerves malfunction due to health problems or health issues. Various illnesses that may cause neuropathy are diabetes, transverse myelitis and spinal stenosis. The malfunctioning nerves send incorrect signals to the brain causing numbness, burning, tingling or even sharp pain. The effects are generally felt in the extremities and while medicine may help the symptoms, high powered laser treatment may restore health to the nerves.

• Nerve cells do not have an external blood supply. The blood vessels that supply nerve cells exist within the actual nerve cells. Therefore, when the nerves are damaged, irritated or injured, the blood supply is compromised and the nerves may not receive oxygen and nutrients. This leads to malfunction and symptoms, such as burning, tingling, numbness, and even pain. The malfunction is directly related to the atrophy and retraction of the actual nerves that occurs, creating a gap between nerves that disrupts the signals. The high-powered laser works in two ways, first facilitating the healing process then restoring the function of the nerves. The laser sends energy to the photoreceptors and these photoreceptors store the energy. The mitochondia then utilizes this energy to ensure healing. The laser also sends energy into the walls that feeds the nerves. This increases the function of the nerves, improving elasticity and oxygen flow. The gaps between nerves fill in and the the signal moves efficiently and effectively. This leads to clear communication between the nerves and the brain, correcting the nerve malfunction.
