- Cold Laser Therapy:
Cold laser therapy is not only known for treating neuropathic pain; it can successfully treat several other pain types like neck and back pain, pain caused by conditions like tendonitis, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, muscle aches, sprains and strains etc.
Cold laser therapy includes use of low levels lasers combined with TENS units. TENS units are electrical devices used for treatment of different kinds of pains. What makes this treatment procedure so popular? Other than its excellent efficiency, cold laser therapy is also preferred because of its petite treatment time. This is possible due to simultaneous application of cold lasers and TENS unit. Short duration of the treatment indicates that the patients undergoing the therapy experience pain relief in much lesser time compared to the conventional remedies of neuropathy.
Being a noninvasive and nonthermal therapeutic procedure, this therapy resembles the effect of natural solar radiation. Like sunrays, cold laser therapy also encourages vitamin D and collagen production. Individuals undergoing this therapy experience increased activities of the epithelial cells and the process of formation of capillary blood vessels is also accelerated. These changes in the regions affected by neuropathy lead to pain relief and gradual healing of the disorder.
According to experts, as cold laser therapy successfully stimulates the region suffering from neuropathic or other forms of pain, it possesses anti-inflammatory properties. With this treatment, the patient’s nerve functions get stimulated and the blood flow is improved significantly. These effects help in reducing the neuropathic pains instantly.
- PEMF (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field) Therapy:
PEMF on Dr. Oz: If you suffer from neuropathy you will want to read some of the post from people below this article.
PEMFs work to:
- Reduce pain, inflammation, the effects of stress on the body, and platelet adhesion.
- Improve energy, circulation, blood and tissue oxygenation, sleep quality, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, the uptake of nutrients, cellular detoxification and the ability to regenerate cells.
- Balance the immune system and stimulate RNA and DNA.
- Accelerate repair of bone and soft tissue.
- Relax muscles.
PEMFs have been used extensively for decades for many conditions and medical disciplines, and results can be seen in animals as well as humans. The National Institutes of Health have made PEMFs a priority for research. In fact, many PEMF devices have already been approved by the FDA, some specifically to fuse broken bones, wound healing, pain and tissue swelling, and treat depression. Most therapeutic PEMF devices are considered safe by various standards and organizations.
- Acupuncture:
Acupuncture can help relieve the pain of peripheral neuropathy. This common disorder stems from damage to the peripheral nerves, especially those that branch out through the arms, legs, fingers and toes. Symptoms include weakness, numbness, tingling, and burning or painful sensations.
Acupuncture often brings immediate relief - especially when there is pain - though it will likely take a series of treatments for the feeling and strength to come back completely and for the body to stay in balance, providing lasting effects. How often or how long treatment should proceed will be individual, depending on the cause and the overall constitution and health of the patient. Acupuncture works by treating the person as a whole, balancing body, mind and spirit and allowing the body to do what it needs to do to heal itself. Acupuncture helps remove blocks, helps the body focus on increasing energy in areas of deficiency, and helps the patient be more present and focused, but ultimately it is our own bodies and energy that are able to heal.
