Laser Therapy for Neuropathy

Posted by mikween @mikween, Jun 14, 2017

Has anyone ever heard of Laser Therapy for Neuropathy?

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

Thanks! I have heard no cure for neuropathy, but, always hoping someone found something to help!

I had about 10 laser treatments on my feet and they cut down my pain about 50%. I’m hoping to receive more.

Thank you,

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.

This is reassuring...My foot is just the same. How did you find the BEMER/Pemf therapy/device?

Hi @mikween, I would like to invite @crystalgal, @dbentley, @johnbishop, @swiss, and @hoot as they have all discussed laser therapy in some form in regards to their neuropathy diagnosis.

@mikween, have you discussed this therapy with your medical provider, or are you asking due to your own research?

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.
