Class 4 Laser Therapy for Peripheral Neuropathy
Class 4 laser therapy has emerged as a promising treatment option for peripheral neuropathy, a condition characterized by damage to the peripheral nerves that often leads to pain, numbness, and weakness, typically in the feet and lower extremity, and sometimes in the hands.
How Does Chemotherapy Cause Peripheral Neuropathy?
Chemotherapy is a powerful treatment for cancer that targets rapidly dividing cells, including cancerous ones. While it is an effective method for fighting cancer, it can also affect other rapidly dividing cells and cause side effects, one of which is peripheral neuropathy.
How Does Diabetes Cause Peripheral Neuropathy?
In conclusion, peripheral neuropathy in diabetes is primarily caused by high blood sugar levels, which damage the nerves through reduced blood flow, oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic disturbances.
“Class 4 Laser Therapy will be an integral modality worldwide in all fields of healthcare.”
