Laser-Guided Treatment for Krabbe Disease

Krabbe disease (KRAH-buh) is a hereditary ailment in which the protective covering (myelin) of nerve cells in the brain and throughout the nervous system is destroyed.

In most cases, signs and symptoms of Krabbe disease develop in babies before 6 months of age, and the disease usually results in death by age 2.

Early signs and symptoms of the disease include: feeding difficulties, unexplained crying, extreme irritability, fever with no sign of infection, declines in alertness, delays in typical developmental milestones, loss of head control, frequent vomiting, and, last but not least, muscle spasms, which will be the focus of this article.

There’s no cure for Krabbe disease, and treatment focuses on supportive care. However,since neuromuscular dysfunction is one of the most annoying issues in this Disease, treatment for this specific issue seems to be provided with laser therapy.

Without a sure, not all laser machines are appropriate for such delicate instances. Few devices can be relied on, and the Physiotherapy 980nm Diode Laser System LASER-1.41 is one among them.

Laser Therapy with LASER-1.41 has been successfully used to treat a broad range of medical conditions, including musculoskeletal problems.

When the light source of this device is placed against the skin, the photons penetrate several centimeters and get absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy-producing part of a cell. This energy fuels many positive physiological responses resulting in the restoration of normal cell morphology and function.

The central goal of this device is to stimulate the cell to perform its natural functions but at an enhanced rate. Targeted in hemoglobin and cytochrome c oxidase, the high-power diode laser could help the respiration and then a result has a good performance therapy.

In sharp contrast to “Cold lasers” which provide no feeling or sensation, high power diode laser therapy will provide a warm and soothing feeling that will surely help Krabbe disease patients to gradually regain their physical functions.

Krabbe disease may be a genuinely incurable condition. Nonetheless, this should never be used to dismiss the possibility of partial recovery, especially because therapies for some of the disease’s adverse effects exist. With all of the aforementioned features, the laser system: LASER-1.41 may be the final answer for the musculoskeletal difficulties caused by Krabbe disease.
