Peripheral neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy refers to the many conditions that involve damage to the peripheral nervous system, which is a vast communications network that sends signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and all other parts of the body.
Symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include:
Gradual onset of numbness, prickling or tingling in your feet or hands, which can spread upward into your legs and arms
Sharp, jabbing, throbbing or burning pain
Extreme sensitivity to touch
Pain during activities that shouldn’t cause pain, such as pain in your feet when putting weight on them or when they’re under a blanket
Muscle atrophy and paralysis
Bowel and bladder problems
Treatment options for peripheral neuropathy include:
Medications: Injections, pills taken by mouth, patches that stick to skin, slow-release medication.
Surgery: It can help reconnect cut nerves and relieve pain due to trapped nerves. It can also sever or remove damaged or malfunctioning nerves to keep their signals from reaching the brain and vice versa.
Podiatry and foot care: Peripheral neuropathy commonly affects feet. That can cause soft tissue and bone changes, including sores and infections, especially in people with type 2 diabetes. Many people with peripheral neuropathy need to see a podiatrist (foot specialist).
Physical therapy: This can help patients recover from injuries or medical procedures, or improve pain symptoms. It can also help them adapt to nervous system changes, including improving balance and preventing falls.
Class 4 LASER THERAPY: It is a type of medical treatment that uses high-powered lasers to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation and promote tissue healing. It penetrates deeper into the body tissues than other classes of lasers and can be used to treat various conditions such as musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and neuropathic pain.
Class 4 LASER THERAPY for peripheral neuropathy typically involves using high-powered lasers to stimulate damaged nerves and promote healing. This type of therapy increases blood flow to the affected area, reduces inflammation, and encourages the growth of new nerve cells, which can help reduce pain, tingling, and numbness associated with peripheral neuropathy.
