LED laser light therapy
Patients with neuropathy often have decreased blood flow. Cells and nerves do not get enough oxygen and glucose and can not manufacture normal amounts of ATP. Through LED light therapy, RNA and DNA synthesis is increased and enhances the release of Nitric Oxide which increases blood flow to injured or damaged tissue.
LED Therapy can also:
-
Help in the production of collagen
-
Improve gait, balance and walking
-
Reduce pain and inflammation
