Yes, Diabetic Neuropathy CAN Be Reversed | Here’s How It Works

Foot-Neuropathy-for-10-Years-Advanced-Non-Invasive-Treatment-Options

Some things in life can’t be undone. A shattered glass can’t be pieced back into its original form, and burned toast can never return to soft bread. For decades, doctors believed peripheral neuropathy belonged on that same list—nerve damage that could not be reversed. Today, thanks to cutting-edge research and breakthrough treatments like Summus Laser therapy, that belief is changing. Patients are finding real relief, reducing their reliance on painkillers, and even restoring nerve function they thought was gone forever. At Restore Podiatry, we’re proud to be at the forefront of helping people reverse neuropathy symptoms and return to more active, fulfilling lives.

Understanding Foot Neuropathy: A Brief Overview

Foot neuropathy, a subtype of peripheral neuropathy, is the type where the nerves of the feet are damaged throughout the body and can cause symptoms including:

  • Loss of feeling or feeling less than normal
  • Abnormal feelings such as burning or tingling
  • Shooting pain or stabbing pain
  • Exaggerated response to touch
  • Weakness in the muscles accompanied with balance problems

As stated by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, approximately 20 million American people suffer from outer nerves inflammation. For those who have been suffering for 5 years or more, the impact on daily life can be profound.

The Limitations of Traditional Treatments

The common treatment options available for foot neuropathy are:

  • Pain relievers
  • Antidepressant drugs
  • Antiepileptic drugs
  • Topical treatments


Most of these methods manage to provide some temporary help, but, most of the time, the core of the problem is not touched, resulting in many long time sufferers growing restless looking for any solutions that will help them end their pains.

A Revolution in Diabetic Neuropathy Treatment

Let’s be clear: we’re not promising miracles or a return to your childhood vitality. But calling this treatment “revolutionary”? That’s absolutely justified.

If your goal is to:

  • Substantially reduce—or perhaps eliminate—the need for medications to manage neuropathy,

  • Recover sensation and nerve function once believed permanently lost,

  • Resume activities you’ve had to give up…

…then treatments using Summus Laser (also known as K-Laser) offer your best shot yet.

Clinical evidence supports these claims:

  • In a randomized, double-masked, sham-controlled trial of deep tissue laser therapy, older adults with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy experienced significantly greater reductions in pain, improved mobility, and enhanced quality of life—all compared to the sham treatment group PMC.

  • Low-level laser therapy has been shown to effectively reduce pain in type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy according to research published in peer-reviewed literature PMC.

  • More recent reports highlight how the Summus Class IV laser penetrates deep into nerve-damaged tissues, enhancing cellular regeneration, increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and providing robust, drug-free pain control.

Together, these findings make “revolutionary” a fitting description—not for empty hype, but for science-backed progress in treating neuropathy.

How Laser Therapy Works

Laser therapy (photobiomodulation) is administered in a simple manner by any of the following actions:

  • so that desperately needed nutrients can get in and waste products and toxins can flush out.
  • Swelling and pain decrease.
  • Circulation and metabolism increase.
  • Cellular healing accelerates.
  • Accelerating blood flow to the damaged nerve
  • Increasing ATP (energy of the cell) production
  • Enhancing regeneration of neurofibrils.

A study in Journal of Pain Research has revealed that low level laser therapy can reduce pain and enhance quality health among patients suffering from diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

The benefits of laser therapy are cumulative, with a complete treatment plan typically requiring 12 to 24 sessions—depending on how your nerves respond.

Even better news: Summus Class 4 Laser Therapy is non-invasive, non-narcotic, and FDA-approved. You risk nothing and stand to gain so much

The Importance of a Comprehensive Approach

However, there are reasons why, as optimistic as they may be, success in diabetic neuropathy long-term management is seldom achieved through solely advanced treatment modalities. At Restore Podiatry, the patients receive balanced combination of different treatment approaches such as:   

  • Carefully designed laser treatments
  • Nutritional recommendations for the improvement of nerve condition
  • Nerve and blood flow exercise therapy
  • Progress monitoring by means if intensive diagnostic procedures

This is particularly useful for patients who have had treatments for several years and are still suffering from the neuropathy since treatment has been approached in different angles.

Looking to the Future: Ongoing Research and Advancements

The field of diabetic neuropathy treatment is continuously evolving, with ongoing research into new and improved non-invasive therapies. Some areas of current investigation include:

  • Advanced combinations of light therapies
  • Targeted shockwave therapy
  • Novel applications of regenerative medicine

These developments offer hope that even more effective treatments may be on the horizon for long-term neuropathy sufferers.
