Light Therapy for Neuropathy
P BM Light therapy , also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy, is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses low-intensity light to stimulate cellular function. It is emerging as one of the safest and most effective treatments for acute and chronic pain, including neuropathic pain. It not only decreases pain and inflammation, it also promotes cellular healing. Even better, many home use devices have been developed, reducing the effort and cost involved in treatment. What does PBM Light therapy do? PBM involves the application of specific wavelengths of light to targeted areas of the body, typically using lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Here's how it can help with pain: Anti-inflammatory effects: PBM has been found to reduce inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines. This can help alleviate pain associated with inflammatory conditions such as neuropathy, ...
