Neuropathy Treatment at Laser Spine and Pain Institute
Your central nervous system is comprised of your brain and spinal cord. The network of nerves that spread throughout the rest of your body is known as your peripheral nervous system. The two work hand-in-hand to transmit sensory data between body and brain. Neuropathy occurs when the nerves of the peripheral nervous system become irritated, inflamed or damaged. There are several types of nerves in your peripheral nervous system. Sensory nerves transmit sensations, while motor nerves direct your muscle movement. Autonomous nerves handle functions like digestion, heart rate, and bladder function.
Any of these nerves can sustain damage, leading to widespread and varied symptoms. That's why our team at Laser Spine and Pain Institute in The Woodlands is here to help patients suffering from neuropathy. If you live in or around the greater Houston area, contact our team today!
How Do I know if I'm Suffering from Neuropathy?
Symptoms can vary depending on the type of nerves affected. Knowing what to look for can make it easier to understand when to seek treatment for neuropathy. Some common symptoms of neuropathy include:
- Neuropathy can be caused from spinal problems where misaligned vertebrae or bulging discs irritate the nerves. There are several types of nerves in your peripheral nervous system. Sensory nerves transmit sensations, while motor nerves direct your muscle movement. Autonomous nerves handle functions like digestion, heart rate, and bladder function.
- Gradual onset of unusual sensations like tingling, prickling, or numbness in hands and feet
- Heightened sensitivity to touch
- Loss of coordination and increased stumbling or falling
- Sharp, stabbing pains
- Pain when engaged in activities that are generally not painful
- Muscle weakness
- Sweating too much or not enough
- Bladder, bowel, or digestive problems
These are just some of the symptoms that can occur due to neuropathy.
How Can Robotic MLS Laser Therapy Help Treat Neuropathy?
Our Multiwave Locked System (MLS) laser therapy is an innovative treatment that uses the power of light to improve nerve damage and relieve symptoms. This approach has yielded impressive results in patients who have tried numerous other treatments that haven't been successful. The treatment platform delivers two therapeutic wavelengths that work together to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Additional benefits of robotic MLS laser therapy include:
- Accelerated tissue repair
- Formation of new vascular structures to increase circulation
- Improved nerve function
- Reduced scar tissue formation
- Enhanced metabolic activity
Many of the benefits of MLS laser therapy have a direct positive impact on nerve function, while others improve cellular functions that support overall healing and pain relief.
While our practitioner remains in control of the therapy from start to finish and can deactivate the system at any time, the robotic features of the platform help you get the most out of your treatment. The robotic treatment setting delivers precisely controlled wavelengths to the targeted treatment area. Automated technology offers far more precision and consistency than even the most skilled human hand.
