What causes Peripheral Neuropathy?

The #1 cause of peripheral neuropathy in the US is related to uncontrolled blood sugar levels, also known as diabetes mellitus. However, other contributing factors may include:
- Nerve compression or injury
- Alcohol use/abuse
- Toxin exposure, chemotherapy
- Hereditary diseases
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Autoimmunity disease
- Thyroid conditions
Regardless of the cause, the one thing that is consistent in regard to treatment and recovery is…. The faster you identify the cause and the sooner you get on with treating that cause, the better your chances are for recovery.
What treatments and protocols are used at Back 2 Health?
Back 2 Health is a certified Summus Medical Laser Neuropathy Treatment Center. Class IV medical laser therapy is the backbone of our treatment protocols. This therapy works to:
PAIN REDUCTION
Our state-of-the-art Class IV therapy laser delivers targeted, non-invasive treatment, providing swift pain relief for patients suffering from neuropathic pain.
Enhanced Tissue Recovery
Our lasers promote accelerated tissue repair by stimulating cellular regeneration on the molecular level, expediting recovery and minimizing downtime for patients.
Increased circulation
With our advanced laser therapy device, we can improve blood flow and tissue oxygenation to affected areas, facilitating nutrient delivery and waste removal, thereby enhancing tissue vitality and reducing recovery time.
Reduced Inflammation
Our Summus Class IV therapy lasers effectively target inflamed tissues, triggering a natural anti-inflammatory response that helps reduce edema, ease discomfort, and promote quicker healing and recovery.
What to expect from your Neuropathy treatment?
When you come in for your first appointment at Back 2 Health, our doctors will conduct a thorough evaluation of your medical history, symptoms, and overall health. We request that you complete an in-depth history of your condition prior to your appointment and bring all applicable test findings to your first visit.
Once we have a comprehensive understanding of your condition, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We will explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have before treatment.
A Summus Horizon laser session will begin with your technician placing a pair of protective eyewear over your eyes. Next, they’ll slowly move the handpiece over the affected area while the laser emits pulses of light. Many patients report a warm or tingling feeling during treatment. The session lasts approximately 30-45 minutes. Patients are encouraged to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to their appointment.
Cost of Peripheral Neuropathy Treatments
