Anyone tried using red light therapy?

There seems to be some evidence that photobiomodulation - heating the skin via infra red light - has some benefits for stimulating nerve re growth. There are lots of devices available on Amazon as well as lots of seemingly expensive treatments provided by chiropractors.

I would be interested to know of any personal experience with such devices and any possible recommendations.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

I bought a combination red light/infrared light therapy device on Amazon for around $100. It had no positive effect.

It should be a near infrared/red light combo to be effective. It got rid of back spasms for me over 10 days. About 30 min a day. I am using on neuropathy now.

Yes, along with shock therapy. It helps slow the progression of neuropathy .
