How Laser Therapy Helps Trigeminal Neuralgia
Step 1
Targets the nerve directly. Light is applied along the branches of the trigeminal nerve, right where the pain starts.
Step 2
Calms nerve inflammation. Laser light lowers the inflammation that makes the nerve so sensitive.
Step 3
Quiets pain signals. Treatment helps settle the misfiring signals behind each attack.
