Nerve Regeneration
Laser Therapy can help nerves in a number of ways, including:
Increasing blood flow - stimulating microcirculation around nerve fibers, which increases blood flow and helps with healing.
Reducing pain - stimulating nerve cells to block pain signals from reaching the brain.
Improving nerve function - by speeding up nerve cell regeneration, which can shorten recovery time after nerve injury.
Increasing signal strength - increasing the strength of action potentials, or signals sent along nerve fibers.
Increasing nitric oxide production - increasing nitric oxide production, which is a neurotransmitter that's important for nerve cell action potential.
Increasing endorphins - initiating the release of endorphins, which can reduce pain and stress levels.
Laser therapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including neuropathy, pinched nerves, and musculoskeletal pain.
