The Benefits of Cold Laser Therapy for Neuropathy Symptoms
While there is no cure for neuropathy, you can find lasting relief from symptoms and prevent some symptoms from progressing with chiropractic care. At Chiro-Med Health Center, Dr. Jennifer Tinoosh has extensive experience treating symptoms of neuropathy. She has found that combining chiropractic care and cold laser therapy can relieve symptoms and improve quality of life for patients with neuropathy. Here is a look at some of the benefits of treating neuropathy symptoms with cold laser therapy in Lynchburg, VA.
Reduced Pain and Discomfort
One of the biggest benefits of cold laser therapy is that it relieves pain without the use of pain medications or invasive procedures. During cold laser therapy, Dr. Tinoosh will use a small device to direct low levels of laser light to targeted treatment areas. As this light penetrates your soft tissues, it jump starts certain biological processes throughout your body. Your body will release healing chemicals, nutrients, and hormones that relieve pain and discomfort and promote healing processes.
Nerve Healing and Regeneration
Cold laser therapy jump starts healing processes at the cellular level, and can promote the regeneration of damaged nerve cells. If you are experiencing nerve pain, numbness, tingling, or a pins and needles feeling due to neuropathy, cold laser therapy can offer relief. It can also improve nerve function by promoting axonal growth and improving the production of myelin in injured nerves.
Increased Blood Flow and Reduced Inflammation
Poor circulation can increase your risk of swelling, muscle spasms, muscle weakness, and muscle atrophy. Cold laser therapy encourages increased blood flow to targeted treatment areas. This will help damaged soft tissues and nerves heal faster. It can also reduce swelling, edema, and inflammation and improve range of motion and mobility.
Increased Efficacy of Other Chiropractic Therapies
When Dr. Tinoosh combines cold laser therapy with other chiropractic therapies for neuropathy, those therapies can be more effective. Cold laser therapy can alleviate some of the side effects associated with other chiropractic therapies, like tenderness or soreness. Cold laser therapy can also prime your body for advanced chiropractic treatments, making them easier and more effective.
