Laser Light Therapy and Diabetic Wounds

Laser light therapy has proven to be a safe, effective method of treating diabetic wounds, which can be particularly dangerous because they carry a very high risk of infection. It is an advanced, painless way to help wounds heal in much less time than other treatment options. In fact, in some cases it can speed the healing process by weeks or even months.

Why You Need Laser Therapy

If you have circulation problems that make it hard for wounds to heal properly, laser light therapy will work with your body to safely promote more rapid healing. Not only does this form of treatment reduce inflammation, it helps to produce new blood vessels. If you have a wound that is especially hard to heal, then your body may be stuck in what is known as the “inflammation phase.” By getting the wound out of that phase, healing can take place faster.

Other Benefits of Laser Light Therapy

There is a growing amount of evidence that suggests laser light therapy could help in more ways than speeding the healing process. Researchers have found that this method of treatment may also be effective in helping to stimulate the release of insulin. Others have found that laser light therapy could reduce leg pain in diabetics as well.

The experts with DFW Wound Care Center have a great deal of experience in using laser light therapy to treat not only diabetic wounds, but many other types of wounds as well.
