Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the peripheral nerve fibers that causes sensory and balance disturbances and instability. Its main symptoms are tingling, numbness, burning sensations and a vibration-like feeling. Pain often worsens at night, and touching the affected area or even temperature changes can increase it. Neuropathy is not currently curable, but symptom relief — albeit limited — is possible.
There has been an open wound on your lower leg for months that just won't heal. You dress it, care for it, visit doctors — and still it doesn't close. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Leg ulcers are one of the most stubborn types of chronic wounds and they seriously reduce quality of life. The good news: softlaser therapy can give healing a new boost.
If you have a bothersome scar or keloid on your skin—whether it formed after surgery, injury, or acne—soft laser therapy can help. It does not remove the scar, but research suggests it can favorably influence the quality of scar tissue: it may become softer, flatter, and paler. In this article I’ll show how the treatment works and what you can expect.
The softlaser device does not cut, does not burn, and does not cause pain – instead it can support tissue regeneration. Its name (that is, the terms "soft laser" or "low-level laser therapy") refers to a low-energy, gentle laser beam. In scientific circles the method is called photobiomodulation – it already has several decades of history.
The first research began in the 1960s, when Hungarian physician-researcher Endre Mester accidentally discovered that low-energy laser light can positively influence tissue regeneration. Since then, thousands of scientific studies have examined the method's effects, and softlaser therapy is now used worldwide in modern medicine.1
Joint inflammation, or arthritis, is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions. If it affects you, you know how agonizing the pain, stiffness and swelling can be. Anti-inflammatory drugs can help, but long-term use may come with side effects. What if there were a side-effect-free method you could use at home to support your recovery? Soft laser therapy – also known as photobiomodulation – may offer exactly that.
You get out of bed in the morning, and as soon as you put your foot on the floor, a sharp, stabbing pain shoots into your heel. It feels like stepping on a pin cushion. After a few steps it eases a little, but it returns again and again during the day. If this sounds familiar, you likely have plantar fasciitis or a heel spur — and low-level laser therapy can help.
Yellowing, thickening, crumbling nails – if this sounds familiar, you’re likely dealing with nail fungus (onychomycosis). It is one of the most stubborn fungal infections: conventional treatments take months, and oral antifungals can have liver‑damaging side effects. Laser therapy has emerged as a new alternative – but does it really work? In this article I summarize what scientific research shows.
If you have ever experienced that lightning-like, agonizing pain in your face that strikes out of nowhere – triggered by eating, speaking, or even a light breeze – you know how helpless trigeminal neuralgia can make you feel. This condition is one of the most intense pain experiences a person can endure. The good news: softlaser therapy can provide an effective, drug-free means to ease your symptoms.
Many companies shamelessly lie about products marketed for medical use. Trading companies use ruthless advertising campaigns to foist devices on unsuspecting buyers that are not suitable for the purposes they're promoted for. Nowadays — because of their effectiveness — soft laser devices are increasingly popular. However, their price is quite high. That attracted hyenas who sell colorful LED lamps as "lasers". You might think light is light... but LED and diode laser are about as similar as a plastic pedal car and a Mercedes. I'll explain!
Tinnitus – commonly known as ear ringing – is an extremely frustrating condition that affects a significant portion of the adult population. The ringing, buzzing or humming heard by the affected person but not by others can seriously impact quality of life, sleep and concentration. If you struggle with this problem, you’ve probably already tried many things.
Soft laser therapy (LLLT / photobiomodulation) is one of the alternative options being investigated for tinnitus treatment. In this article I present what we currently know about the method’s effectiveness — together with the scientific results.
