Peripheral neuropathy is a condition in which the nerves in the peripheries of the body are damaged. This can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected area. Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves and can be caused by various medical conditions. The most common cause of neuropathy in people with diabetes goes untreated because they don't know how to manage their symptoms effectively or at all - resulting ultimately poor blood circulation which compromises nutrient supply as well oxygen delivery towards distal parts like feet/hands where tissues are prone for developing peripheral detects, but it can also be caused by other conditions such as alcoholism, certain drug injuries, infections, and vitamin deficiencies.

How does laser treatment work? 

Laser therapy works by delivering deep penetrating light energy into the tissue to promote healing. The light energy is absorbed by the cells and converted into ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This increases cell metabolism, which leads to the production of new proteins and the release of anti-inflammatory mediators. Therapeutic lasers are the most powerful and effective type of laser available on the market today. They are different from other types of lasers because they can penetrate deeper into the tissue to promote healing.

Traditional medical treatments: Why they are not the answer

While neuropathy can't be reversed, there are a variety of management methods that medical professionals suggest to help alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by this complication. These treatments target only symptoms which make daily life just a little more bearable for those who suffer from sensory issues as well; however, it does not affect their long-term health overall since medications will always need replacing eventually due to local damage done on an individual's organs during chronic use (such as kidney or liver).

Traditional medical treatments for peripheral neuropathy often rely on opioids and psychotropic drugs. While these drugs may provide some relief from symptoms, they come with a host of risks and side effects. Opioids, in particular, are highly addictive and can lead to overdose and death. In addition, traditional treatments do not address the underlying cause of peripheral neuropathy, so the condition will likely continue to progress and worsen over time.

Laser therapy can provide relief from symptoms and help to improve nerve function and blood flow.
