No it did not. It is used for nerve pain. Thee is no cure for neuropathy. Don't get scammed by the gimmicks out there; example red light therapes etc.

In all respect, @brotherchuckes80, I have been pleased with the red light therapy "gimmick" that has returned some feeling to the bottom of my feet ~ this in spite of continued numbness.....a contradiction I can't explain and don't understand. My PT/Myokinesthetist or her assistant apply the treatments. Unfortunately, the strength of the laser (red light) that Medicare covers did not work but the strength that does work (I think it is referred to as "4th class") is not covered. It is worth the relief that it provides for me to pay out of pocket for it. Another "gimmick" that has provided some relief is the Bemer treatment (covered by Medicare). In addition I credit my chiropractor, my primary care doc, and my pain specialist for their parts in dealing with my distal symmetric axonal-demyelinating sensory-motor peripheral neuropathy. For me, I have not found just one therapy ~ rather, there are a lot of pieces that come together to provide some relief from a multitude of symptoms. Like you said - no cure. But some relief is better than none.
I wish you all the best ~ it is not an easy journey on a smooth path but I'm glad you found Connect. There is a lot of good information that a person can consider in finding help.

I actually had a chiropractor years ago shine some kind of laser on my forehead, saying that it was designed to help with whatever problem I was experiencing at the time. I can't remember what it was, but it seemed ridiculous at the time. I have had little success with chiropractors over the years.
