Neuropathy is a potentially dangerous medical condition, but the good news is that there are a handful of treatment options that can help. There are two goals with treating damaged nerves – managing the condition that is responsible for it and relieving symptoms. To achieve these objectives, we may utilize medications, physical therapy, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). TENS entails the use of adhesive electrodes that deliver a gentle electrical current.
Perhaps one of the best neuropathy treatment methods is the use of Multiwave Locked System (MLS) laser therapy. In this form of treatment, therapeutic laser wavelengths penetrate into tissue and provide benefits that reduce inflammation, fluid buildup, and pain. MLS is safe, consistent, and effective. We can help you further understand this state-of-the-art treatment and answer any questions you may have.
