Causes of Neuropathy:
Diabetes: This is the common cause of neuropathy since high blood sugar levels affect the nerves negatively, leading to their degradation. This can cause a certain kind of nerve damage known as diabetic neuropathy, and this mostly affects the legs and feet.
Autoimmune Diseases: It can affect the body tissues, including the nerves, and some of the conditions include Lupus, Sjogren’s syndrome, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. This can result in extensive nerve injury and different neuropathy manifestations.
Vitamin Deficiencies: B vitamins, especially B12, protect nerve cells and support their proper functioning. If one lacks vitamin B12, he/she is likely to develop a condition called subacute combined degeneration, a type of neuropathy affecting the spinal nerves and the brain. Vitamin deficiencies, including vitamin thiamine and vitamin E, are also known to cause neuropathy.
Infections: Neuropathy results from several infections that affect the nerves. These include shingles, a viral infection that impacts the nerves along the spinal cord, and Lyme disease, a bacterial infection caused by ticks.

Free from Dangerous Side Effects
Laser therapy can be described as a safe and well-tolerated form of therapy for neuropathy compared to other traditional forms of treatment. While taking medications, the patient can have side effects such as nausea, headache, and dizziness, among others. Laser therapy is noninvasive and does not require the use of needles or surgery. This reduces the chances of severe side effects and is, therefore, ideal for those who may not be able to take medications or are wary of other treatments.
Step by Step procedure for Laser treatment of neuropathy
Laser therapy can be used to improve the neuropathic pain or pain that originates from nerve damage. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect during a typical laser treatment session for neuropathy:
Before Your Treatment:
Consultation: This is the most important step because it determines the outcome of the process. You will consult your doctor or a health care practitioner with laser therapy expertise for neuropathy.
Medical History: Tell your doctor about your past health, the medicines you are using, and the type of neuropathy you are suffering from.
Diagnosis Confirmation: Your doctor may consider nerve conduction studies or electromyography to diagnose neuropathy and the involved nerves.
Treatment Plan: The doctor will explain what laser therapy can do for you and the drawbacks of the procedure, and then he/she will devise a treatment plan that is best suited for you. This may include defining the laser type, the frequency of treatment, and the time that the treatment will take.
Preparation
Inform your doctor: It’s better to tell your doctor about your medical history, including any allergies or recent injuries.
Wear Comfortable Clothing: before coming to the clinic, we suggest you wear loose-fitting clothes that allow easy access to the treatment area.
Managing Expectations: It’s better to understand that laser therapy is slow, and multiple sessions may be required to get the best results.
During Treatment
Positioning: You will be comfortably seated on a treatment table. The healthcare professional may use a pen to draw on your skin to help guide laser treatment to the affected area.
Eye Protection: Depending on the laser type, you or the treating healthcare professional may need to wear protective goggles to shield your eyes from the laser beam.
Laser Application: The healthcare professional will use the laser device on the treatment site. The laser radiates light in a narrow and focused beam, which can easily penetrate the layers of the skin.
Treatment Parameters: Your doctor and the treatment plan developed for you will determine your laser settings, including power and treatment time.
Minimal Discomfort: The treatment is relatively painless. You might feel a slight warming sensation or tingling in the area that has been treated.
After Your Treatment:
Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment is complete, our healthcare professional will give clear guidelines on how to care for the skin. This might include:
Applying Ice: To minimise any possible discomfort, a cold compress should also be applied to the part of the body that was treated.
Moisturising: Keeping the treatment area moist is important to enhance the healing rate.
Activity Modification: Sometimes, your doctor may advise you to avoid certain activities, such as physically rigorous exercises, for a while.
Follow-Up Appointments: Return to your doctor for a follow-up to check your progress and review or change your treatment plan.
Important Considerations:
Number of Sessions: The total number of sessions you require can also be influenced by the nature of your neuropathy and how you will respond to the laser therapy. The sessions usually range from 3 to 10, depending on the case’s specifics, and they are scheduled over several weeks.
