Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy may support blood flow to irritated nerves, reduce inflammation, and support nerve-function goals as part of a diabetic neuropathy care plan.
Goal: improve comfort sensation and circulation support
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes. It primarily affects the feet and legs causing numbness tingling pain and in severe cases complete loss of sensation that dramatically increases the risk of serious foot complications including ulcers and infection.
If these symptoms are affecting your daily movement, your body is telling you something. You do not have to keep working around it - the sooner you get an accurate answer, the sooner you can start moving freely again.
A focused evaluation helps determine which factor is driving your symptoms and what treatment path makes sense next.
primary driver of diabetic nerve damage
accelerates nerve deterioration
longer diabetes history increases risk
compounds nerve and vessel damage
contributes to poor nerve blood supply
low-grade inflammation damages nerve tissue
Dr. Lazarus focuses on identifying the root cause and matching treatment to the condition, not forcing every patient into the same routine.
Class IV laser therapy may support blood flow to irritated nerves, reduce inflammation, and support nerve-function goals as part of a diabetic neuropathy care plan.
Goal: improve comfort sensation and circulation support
The neoGEN device delivers electric cell signaling energy to support nerve communication, circulation, pain modulation, and nerve-function goals.
Non-drug nerve support for selected diabetic neuropathy patients
Radial shockwave therapy may be discussed in selected neuropathy plans to support local circulation, soft-tissue recovery, and pain modulation.
Additional conservative support when appropriate
Digital pressure mapping identifies high-risk areas on the diabetic foot. Custom orthotics redistribute pressure to prevent ulcers and protect vulnerable areas.
Reduces risk of diabetic foot complications
No generic treatment plan. No guesswork. Just a clearer path forward.

Dr. Lazarus combines advanced treatment technology with focused podiatric expertise, helping patients understand what is actually happening and what can be done about it.
Yes. Dr. Lazarus uses non-drug options such as Class IV laser therapy, neoGEN electric cell signaling, radial shockwave therapy when appropriate, and regenerative treatment planning to support nerve function, circulation, and symptom control.
Class IV laser therapy may support microcirculation to irritated nerves, reduce inflammation, and stimulate cellular repair. For diabetic patients, circulation support is especially important because diabetes can compromise blood supply to peripheral nerves.
Coverage varies by plan and by treatment. Some advanced neuropathy treatments may not be covered by insurance. Our team will verify your benefits before treatment begins. Call (475) 238-7400 for a benefits check.
Blood sugar control is the most important factor. Combined with Dr. Lazarus's conservative neuropathy treatments, custom protective orthotics, and regular foot monitoring, progression risk can be addressed and symptoms may improve.
Absolutely. Dr. Lazarus coordinates care with your endocrinologist or primary care physician. Comprehensive diabetic foot care requires a team approach and we welcome collaboration with your existing healthcare providers.
Untreated diabetic neuropathy can progress to complete loss of sensation foot ulcers infection and in severe cases amputation. Early and consistent treatment is critical. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen before seeking care.
