Peripheral Neuropathy

Effective Management for Peripheral neuropathy

What is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when there is damage to the network of nerves outside the brains and spinal cord, known as the peripheral nervous system. This can lead to a range of debilitating symptoms, include:

Peripheral neuropathy often impacts areas such as the feet, legs, hands, and arms, affecting mobility and quality of life. Common causes include diabetes, infections, injuries, toxins, and certain medications, though it can occur without an identifiable cause.

Common Causes of Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy can result from various conditions, but the most common causes include:

Diabetes

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is predominant form, impacting up to 50% of individuals with diabetes. Persistent high blood sugar levels damage blood vesels that nourish nerves, particularly in the feet and hands, leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pian.

Alcoholism

Prolonged alcohol consumption can lead to alcohol-induced neuropathy, resulting from alcohol toxicitiy and nutritional deficits. This condition often manifestsa as numbness, weakness, and pain in the extremities.

Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Certain chemotherapy drugs can cause peripheral neuropathy as a side effect. CThis type of neuropathy frequently affects the hands and feet, causing numbness, tingling, and discomfort; symptoms can be enduring or may dissipate post-treatment.

Vitamin Deficiencies

Deficiencies in B vitamins – especially B1, B6, and B12 – are a significant contributors to peripheral neuropathy. Malnutrition, alcohol abuse, and other factors may underpin these deficiencies.

Autoimmune Diseases

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.

How Can Summus Class IV Medical Laser Help with Peripheral Neuropathy?

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.

This high-powered laser provides targeted relief by penetrating deep into the affected tissues, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. The Summus Class IV Laser is a powerful, non-surgical treatment option to help manage the symptoms associated with peripheral neuropathy.

How Does the Summus Class IV Medical Laser Work for Peripheral Neuropathy?

When applied to areas affected by peripheral neuropathy, the Summus Class IV Laser uses photobiomodulation (PBM) to stimulate healing at the cellular level. Here’s how it works:

Increased Blood Flow

The laser energy enhances circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to damaged nerve tissues, helping them recover faster.

Pain Relief

By reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair, the laser reduces nerve pain, tingling, and other discomforts associated with neuropathy.

Nerve Regeneration

The light energy stimulates nerve cells, promoting regeneration and repair, which can help restore normal nerve function and sensation.

Reduction of Inflammation

Chronic inflammation in nerves can be a major cause of discomfort and dysfunction. The Summus Class IV Laser helps to reduce this inflammation, leading to lasting symptom relief.
