My neuropathy improves with pressure against my feet. Feet are happiest when firmly against the floor or when I am wearing compression socks. I then feel more sure footed. Worst times can be at night when in the prone position. I like my feet weighted with a heavy pillow at night.
I have been using a Bemer which improves my circulation. A Bemer uses magnetic impulse therapy and it is FDA approved for blood circulation to the smallest peripheral capillaries in the body. I know that it helps with my walking and have been using it for about 5 years. I am also interested in trying cold laser therapy to encourage nerve regeneration.
I do some yoga but balance is a real issue.
I think that I started becoming aware of neuropathy about 15 years ago. I am now 83. I am not a diabetic.
I received an email from our local orthopedic group that they are starting to offer Laser Therapy. So I have started researching it. I don’t have a problem with cost if it works and is permanent but am having trouble finding anyone who has used the therapy. With fibromyalgia and post surgery neuropathy and multiple back surgeries, I am in pain somewhere.
Thanks! I have heard no cure for neuropathy, but, always hoping someone found something to help!
what kind of laser treatment?
This is reassuring...My foot is just the same. How did you find the BEMER/Pemf therapy/device?
