Laser Therapy: A Revolutionary Solution for Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy, commonly referred to as nerve damage, is a condition that occurs as a result of high blood sugar levels in diabetes patients. Symptoms include sharp and intense pain, tingling, numbness, and loss of sensation in the hands and feet. For a long time, treatment options have been limited to medication and physical therapy. However, modern technology has brought breakthroughs in laser therapy that are now being recognized as a safe, non-invasive solution. This revolution has not only seen an improvement in the life quality of diabetic patients but also eliminated the long-term effects associated with nerve damage. In this article, we explore the effectiveness of class 4 laser therapy as a revolutionary solution for reversing diabetic neuropathy.
1. What is Class 4 Laser Therapy?
Class 4 laser therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that has been used for various conditions such as pain management, sport correction, and healing of soft tissue injuries. The therapy uses wavelengths of light and concentrated heat to penetrate the skin, muscles, and deep tissues. The result is the photochemical reaction that creates relief, healing and regeneration of damaged cells. The therapy can be customized to treat different conditions and according to the patient's medical history.
2. Effectiveness of Class 4 Laser Therapy in Reversing Diabetic Neuropathy
Class 4 laser therapy has been seen to be highly effective in reducing the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy in most patients. The photochemical reaction created by the wavelengths of light in the therapy activates the intracellular mitosis process, leading to regeneration and repair of the damaged nerve cells. This not only improved the life quality of the patients, but it also reversed the nerve damage. Multiple studies conducted on patients suffering from diabetic neuropathy have shown that class 4 laser therapy can be a viable alternative to prescription medication which only mask the symptoms.
3. Benefits of Class 4 Laser Therapy
Class 4 laser therapy has numerous benefits compared to traditional medication for diabetic neuropathy. Firstly, the treatment option is non-invasive and does not cause side effects like nausea, drowsiness, and other symptoms experienced from taking prescription medication. Secondly, laser therapy is painless and more efficient than physical therapy, which requires numerous appointments and can be time-consuming. Finally, laser therapy achieves lasting results that improve the life quality of the patient immensely.
4. How to Prepare for Class 4 Laser Therapy
The process of preparing for laser therapy is simple. Patients should avoid direct sunlight on the treatment area for at least three days before the appointment. Additionally, they should not consume inflammatory foods to avoid reacting with the therapy. When the therapist begins treatment, they will provide protective eyewear to shield the eyes from the laser rays. Patients should expect results in as little as one session, but it may take multiple sessions to achieve long-term reversal of the nerve damage.
5. Conclusion
Diabetic neuropathy affects millions of patients worldwide and could cause permanent nerve damage if not managed early enough. Class 4 laser therapy is an effective, efficient, and non-invasive solution that we highly recommend for patients suffering from diabetic neuropathy. Unlike traditional medication, it eliminates the risk of side effects and offers lasting relief to the patient, which improves their life quality immensely. Before going for the therapy, though, we provide a FREE consultation with one of our doctors to ensure you are candidate.
