Nerve pain can be unforgiving. Common challenges associated with it can include everyday discomfort, inability to complete certain tasks or errands, disrupted sleep, and emotional effects ranging from frustration and anger to stress and anxiety.
With limited treatment options available and no guarantee of treatment working, many are desperate to find any sort of relief, even temporary. One option many don't consider to help reduce symptoms of nerve pain? Red light therapy, which we offer here at Recovery Lab.
What Causes Chronic Nerve Pain?
Chronic nerve pain can have different causes, including:
- Herniated discs
- Diabetes
- Shingles
- Injuries
- Past surgery
- Sciatica
- Vitamin deficiencies
- Certain medications
Because chronic nerve pain can be serious, it's worth exploring with a medical professional the reason behind your regular pain and ongoing treatment, if necessary.
Natural Ways to Manage Nerve Pain at Home
Chronic nerve pain should not be fully managed or treated at home. However, if you're looking for some relief, there are several things you can safely do.
Engaging in gentle movement, cautiously applying heat or cold to the affected area, consuming a well-balanced diet, and ensuring you get enough sleep are all crucial ways to improve nerve pain at home.
How Red Light Therapy May Help with Nerve Pain
Red light therapy can't stop nerve pain in its tracks or offer a cure, but it can potentially reduce your pain intensity and/or frequency.
By utilizing certain wavelengths of light, red light therapy is capable of penetrating the skin and energizing cells to encourage repair. This recovery tool may also temporarily assist with nerve pain by directly reducing inflammation and pain signals in the body.
Red Light Therapy vs Conventional Treatment
Red light therapy is not a replacement for conventional treatment for those dealing with health-related nerve pain. However, it can be an option worth exploring for those looking for something to complement conventional treatment or who are experiencing non-neuropathic nerve discomfort.
But what makes a service like red light therapy different from conventional treatment?
Compared to many conventional treatment options, red light therapy is considered non-invasive and more comprehensive. Services like red light therapy are designed for general wellness and recovery. Meanwhile, conventional treatments are more geared towards diagnosing a condition and symptom management.
In the end, it's not a matter of which is better, but which works best for you personally. Many of our clients enjoy opting for both wellness services and conventional treatment options, as long as they can be used together without negatively interfering with one another.
