Our recent webinar explored practical perspectives on nerve pain and nerve damage, focusing on how recovery can be supported through a deeper understanding of nerve health. We break it down in this article…
A Different Way to Think About Nerve Damage
Our recent webinar, Overcoming Nerve Damage – Neuropathy, offers a clear, evidence-informed look at nerve pain and nerve damage, shifting the focus from symptom control to supporting the nervous system’s capacity for repair and recovery.
Using real-world scenarios, the session explores how nerve health can be actively supported – even in cases that are often considered difficult or long-standing.

Is recovery still biologically possible in my case – and if so, why?
In the session, Garrett Murrin of Radiant Life Technologies explains a concept that challenges how nerve damage is commonly understood: that nerve cells are not simply “functional or dead,” but exist on a spectrum – and that self-repair is not only possible, but can actively be supported, as long as some nerve fibres remain viable.
Why Most Treatments Focus on Control
To explain why so many people are eventually told “nothing more can be done,” Garrett first outlines the dominant treatment logic used today.
Most conventional approaches rely on some combination of control and/or replacement. The focus is typically on reducing or masking symptoms, addressing inflammation, infection, or compression, and preventing further damage through medication or surgery.
While these interventions can be important, recovery in these approaches ultimately depends on the nerve’s existing self-repair capacity. Surgery may change the structure, but the nerve still has to do the healing. If self-repair resumes, improvement may follow. If it doesn’t, options narrow quickly.
These approaches aren’t wrong – but they share a common assumption: once control or replacement has been attempted, the body is largely left to wait and see.
A Third Lens: Support
The webinar then introduces a different way of looking at nerve damage – Support. Rather than asking “Can the nerve heal on its own?” this approach asks:
What happens if we actively enhance the nerve’s ability to self-repair?
This support-based model applies across a much broader range of situations, including:
- Acute and chronic nerve damage
- Different underlying causes
- Different severities, provided some nerve fibres are still viable
Crucially, this isn’t speculative or new. It builds on decades of research into low-level laser therapies and how they influence cellular energy, signalling & repair.
In the webinar, Garrett explains how coMra therapy coherently combines multiple low-level radiances – such as laser & magnetic field therapy – to actively support these repair processes.

Case Studies: Nerve Damage Improvement with coMra
Garrett presented several case studies of patients dealing with nerve damage and nerve pain, all of whom were able to benefit from coMra therapy. Here, we’ll look at two examples from the webinar.
1. Radiculopathy
A 69-year-old man had been suffering with radiculopathy (compressed nerves in the spine) for six years. This caused shoulder pain, numbness in his fingers, and atrophy of muscles in his thumb. His condition was initially misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome, until the symptoms spread from his wrist up to his shoulder. Pain medication didn’t give him adequate relief, and he was facing the prospect of surgery.
Before agreeing to surgery, the patient decided to try coMra therapy instead. He was treated with 905 nm laser, targeting key areas of the nerve pathway, for seven sessions over five weeks. During this time, he also received gentle chiropractic treatments. He experienced improved hand strength, muscle recovery, and complete pain relief without surgery. After five months, he was enjoying his regular gym sessions again.
2. Autonomic neuropathy
A 60-year-old woman had had uncontrolled diabetes for over 25 years. As a result, she was struggling with widespread nerve damage, as well as high blood pressure, gastrointestinal problems, vision problems, depression, and frequent nighttime urination. An eye haemorrhage prompted her to seek treatment.
The patient was treated with coMra twice daily for one week, focusing on her circulatory system, pancreas, eyes, and enteric nervous system. During this time, she continued to take hypoglycaemic medications. As a result, she experienced relief for multiple symptoms. Her blood glucose stabilised, her eye haemorrhage resolved in 3-4 days, and her blood pressure improved. Night-time urination normalised, her GI symptoms were relieved, and her depression lifted.
Overall, the right nerve support gave her system-wide improvement. The state of her nerve health had a huge impact on her overall quality of life, showing the “ripple effect” of enhancing nerve self-repair.
A Way Forward
As can be seen from the case studies, it is important to view the nervous system as a whole and treat the cause of the neuropathy as well as the localised area where the neuropathy is manifesting. In this way, not only is the origin being addressed, but through addressing the origin via systemic treatments, relief and improvements can be experienced across multiple conditions that are connected and related to the condition of neuropathy. It is for this reason that treatment is approached in stages – first slowing further deterioration by localised treatments, then stabilising the condition by treating the source of the nerves, and finally addressing the cause of the neuropathy.
