Low-Level Laser Therapy for Patients with Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a relatively new therapy option for neuropathic pain. Diabetic neuropathy symptoms can range from discomfort and numbness in your legs and feet to difficulties with your digestive system, urinary tract, blood vessels, and heart, depending on the afflicted nerves.

Some people have mild symptoms. But for others, diabetic neuropathy can be quite painful and disabling.

Because it is non-invasive and has no documented adverse effects, Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been shown to enhance the quality of life of elderly individuals with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy. As a result, it is a relatively low-risk therapy choice for people suffering from small fibre neuropathy.

It works by triggering biochemical changes within cells. Following this treatment, old patients in particular are reporting a decrease in their neuropathy symptoms and, in some cases, are regenerating the small fibre nerves in the epidermis.

Similar benefits are only seen when effective and highly professional Low-Level laser equipment, such as the Multi-functional Surgical Diode Laser System LASER-4.2, is used.

This device provides a treatment alternative for those old patients who have not responded to other therapies making surgical interventions often unnecessary.

Specialists proclaim that the most suitable laser wavelength for this disease patients should not exceed 632.8 nm. This device’s wavelength is 650nm < 2mW  so it can certainly be tailored to suit neurologists’ treatment procedures.  

Furthermore, one of its primary characteristics is that it gives painless Low-Level Laser Therapy, which is exactly what diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients need because they are continuously in excruciating agony.

To sum up, the LASER-4.2 is also non-invasive, non-toxic, and has no known side effects or medication interactions. All of these features define it as the exact gadget required to treat such a condition.
