Peripheral neuropathy is a condition resulting from damage to the peripheral nervous system, which includes the network of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It can cause debilitating symptoms, such as:
Peripheral neuropathy often affects the feet, legs, hands, and arms, reducing quality of life and mobility. It is commonly caused by diabetes, infections, injuries, toxins, and some medications, though it can occur without an identifiable cause.
Diabetic neuropathy is the leading cause of peripheral neuropathy, affecting up to 50% of individuals with diabetes. Chronic high blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels that feed nerves, especially in the feet and hands, causing symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain.
Deficiencies in B vitamins, particularly B1, B6, and B12, are a significant cause of peripheral neuropathy. Poor nutrition, alcohol abuse, or conditions that affect nutrient absorption can lead to nerve damage.
Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Guillain-Barré syndrome cause the immune system to attack the body’s nerves, leading to inflammation and nerve damage.
The Summus Class IV Medical Laser is a highly effective, non-invasive treatment option for peripheral neuropathy. By harnessing the power of therapeutic light energy, this laser promotes healing and alleviates the symptoms of nerve damage, such as pain, tingling, and loss of sensation.
During each session, the Summus Class IV Laser will be applied to the affected areas. The treatment is completely non-invasive and painless, with many patients reporting only a warm sensation during the procedure. Each session usually lasts between 15-30 minutes.
After the initial treatment series, follow-up visits may be scheduled to monitor your progress.
If you’re struggling with peripheral neuropathy, the Summus Class IV Laser could provide you with the relief you need. This advanced treatment is designed to reduce pain, promote nerve healing, and restore sensation, improving your quality of life.
