Peripheral neuropathy can be effectively treated with either old-school treatments or laser therapy. Treatment choice depends on the underlying cause of neuropathy and the patient's preference.
Old-school treatments typically involve anticonvulsants, antidepressants, and muscle relaxants. These medications can help relieve pain, improve sleep quality, and restore sensation in the affected area. However, these treatments can have side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, and constipation.
Laser therapy is a newer form of treatment for peripheral neuropathy. It uses a low-level laser to stimulate the affected nerves and increase blood circulation. This can help reduce pain, improve sensation, and reduce inflammation.
Physical therapy is another effective treatment for peripheral neuropathy. Physical therapists can develop an exercise program tailored for the patient to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and increase strength. Exercises can range from stretching and strengthening to balance training and yoga.
