Hello @nrg -
This is wonderful news. Laser treatments (over a period of a couple of years) resulted in gaining considerable feeling back in my feet and helped the carpel tunnel in my hands. The feeling came back very slowly - my pt (or assistant) consistently asked if the laser was too hot but of course I couldn't feel it at all. Then, one day when she asked, I told her I could feel a tickling and we were both amazed. I can feel most everything now on my hands and feet -- however, there is still pain, numbness, and tingling. My balance has not improved and I have to be careful to take my meds (Pregabalin & Tramadol) on time (every 8 hours) in order to avoid pretty awful pain. But for me, the laser therapy was a game changer!
I also was able to use the vibration plate every time I had an appointment and it, too, was invaluable for helping with stamina, muscle strength, and general well-being because it causes you to use leg muscles in ways you normally don't in everyday living with neuropathy.
Sure am glad you shared this information, as I have seen very little positive feedback regarding the laser but am so grateful that you had good results and that my therapist availed me of it, as well.
May you progress in treatment and safety!
Peace,
Barb
