Laser Therapy for Nerve Pain: What to Know
Nerve pain arises from problems with the nervous system rather than from injury to muscles or joints. Various non-invasive approaches, including low-level laser therapy, have been examined.
About nerve pain
Common causes include diabetes, nerve compression syndromes and shingles. Symptoms often have a burning or electric quality.
Where laser therapy fits
Research has looked at low-level laser therapy in some forms of nerve pain, particularly in the context of peripheral neuropathy.
Common symptoms
Symptoms may include burning, tingling, numbness and sensitivity to light touch. Symptoms can vary from person to person.
When to seek professional advice
New or worsening nerve-type symptoms, especially with weakness or loss of function, should be assessed promptly.
