Neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s , Parkinson’s , and Multiple Sclerosis share overlapping mechanisms that lead to progressive nerve cell damage. The image above highlights 5 core contributors — environmental factors, metabolic stress, genetic contributors, neurovascular coupling, and neuroinflammation — all of which can be targeted by advanced neuromodulatory treatments like photobiomodulation (PBM) . At Durban Neuro Laser Clinic , photobiomodulation represen
