Sciatica and Nerve Related Conditions

Nerve pain can be debilitating, affecting mobility, daily activities, and overall quality of life. Conditions such as sciatica, neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, and Bell’s palsy can cause chronic discomfort and functional limitations.

At Cold Laser Perth, we use Cold Laser Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy – LLLT) to provide a non-invasive, drug-free, and highly effective treatment for nerve-related pain. LLLT has been clinically shown to reduce pain, improve nerve function, and accelerate healing—especially when combined with chiropractic care.

Cold Laser Therapy works by using low-intensity laser light to stimulate cellular repair, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation at a deep tissue level. This process promotes healing and nerve regeneration without any discomfort, making it a safe and effective option for chronic pain sufferers.

• ✔️ Reduces inflammation that compresses or irritates nerves
• ✔️ Enhances nerve regeneration for long-term relief
• ✔️ Improves circulation to speed up healing
• ✔️ Relieves pain naturally, without medication or surgery

Cold Laser Therapy is effective for various nerve-related conditions, including:

1. Sciatica

Cause: Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—running from the lower back down to the legs—is compressed or irritated, often due to herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or muscle tightness (piriformis syndrome).

Symptoms:

• Sharp, radiating pain from the lower back to the leg
• Numbness or tingling in the legs or feet
• Weakness in the affected leg

📖 Research: Studies suggest that Cold Laser Therapy reduces inflammation and improves nerve function in lumbar radiculopathy (sciatica). Read study here

2. Peripheral Neuropathy

Cause: Neuropathy results from nerve damage, commonly caused by diabetes, infections, injuries, or chemotherapy.

Symptoms:

• Burning or tingling sensation in hands/feet
• Loss of coordination and balance
• Muscle weakness

📖 Research: Cold Laser Therapy has been found to promote nerve regeneration and reduce pain in neuropathy patients. Read study here

3. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)'

Cause: CTS occurs due to compression of the median nerve in the wrist, often due to repetitive hand movements, wrist injuries, or inflammation.

Symptoms:

• Numbness, tingling, or pain in the fingers
• Weakness in grip strength
• Symptoms worsen at night

📖 Research: A study found that Cold Laser Therapy improves nerve conduction and reduces pain in CTS patients. Read study here

4. Trigeminal Neuralgia

Cause: A chronic pain disorder affecting the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensations from the face to the brain. It can be triggered by nerve compression, multiple sclerosis, or vascular abnormalities.

Symptoms:

• Sudden, severe facial pain (often triggered by touch, chewing, or speaking)
• Sharp, electric shock-like pain
• Episodes last seconds to minutes but can reoccur frequently

📖 Research: Studies show that LLLT significantly reduces pain intensity and episode frequency in trigeminal neuralgia patients. Read study here

5. Fibromyalgia

Cause: A chronic pain condition with unknown exact cause, but it is believed to be linked to abnormal pain processing in the brain and nervous system dysfunction.

Symptoms:

• Widespread muscle pain and tenderness
• Fatigue and sleep disturbances
• Brain fog (difficulty concentrating)

📖 Research: Cold Laser Therapy has been found to reduce pain and improve quality of life in fibromyalgia patients. Read study here

6. Bell’s Palsy

Cause: Sudden facial muscle weakness or paralysis, typically caused by viral infections affecting the facial nerve (e.g., herpes simplex virus).

Symptoms:

• Drooping on one side of the face
• Difficulty closing the eye on the affected side
• Loss of taste or excessive tearing

📖 Research: Studies have demonstrated that Cold Laser Therapy enhances nerve recovery and reduces facial paralysis severity. Read study here

At Cold Laser Perth, we enhance the benefits of Cold Laser Therapy by combining it with chiropractic treatments to target both the symptoms and the root cause of nerve pain.

• Cold Laser Therapy reduces nerve irritation, inflammation, and pain.
• Chiropractic Adjustments correct spinal misalignments, relieving nerve pressure.
• Together, they create a synergistic effect for long-lasting relief and faster healing.

This combination is particularly effective for:

• Sciatica & herniated disc-related nerve pain
• Postural nerve compression (neck, wrist, and lower back pain)
• Chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis-related nerve issues

1. Cold Laser Therapy: A handheld laser device is applied to the affected area for 10-15 minutes, completely painless and non-invasive.
2. Chiropractic Adjustment: If needed, our chiropractors will perform gentle spinal or joint adjustments to restore mobility.
3. Personalized Care Plan: We tailor a treatment program to your specific condition for long-term pain relief.

If you're suffering from sciatica, neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, or Bell’s palsy, Cold Laser Therapy combined with chiropractic care can provide a safe, natural, and long-lasting solution.
