About Diabetic Neuropathy at Plano Clinic
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complications of diabetes and affects nearly 50% of adults with diabetes during their lifetime. It strongly impacts quality of life and capacity for work, and can lead to foot ulceration. Symptoms may include numbness, burning pain, or needle-like sensations. At Plano Clinic, diabetic neuropathy care is informed by photodynamic research and supervised by Canadian physicians.
- Focus on nerve-related pain, abnormal sensations, and lower-limb risk
- Evidence-informed pathways that support neuropathic comfort
- Multidisciplinary physician oversight to help reduce complication risk
People with type 2 diabetes may face higher DPN risk than those with type 1. Up to 50% of patients never experience early symptoms, so timely assessment matters. Our team emphasizes safe, non-invasive supportive care alongside medical supervision.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), previously known as low-level laser therapy, uses visible and near-infrared light (450–1100 nm) to trigger photochemical changes within cells. It has been studied clinically for more than 50 years as a non-invasive option for pain relief and inflammatory conditions.
Every treatment we offer — including Diabetic Neuropathy — is backed by scientific research and our expert Canadian doctors.
