Anyone tried shock wave therapy for peripheral neuropathy nerve pain?

Hi @lindavs ,
Do they start at your calves and go to your toes and do each toe. That is what you want done, so that the blood is going to your toes, the farthest from your heart. Then the foot and calves. For me I am charged $50 a session. If I bought a plan much cheaper. I would look for other providers. As for how well it works, spectacular. It does not completely get rid of my neuropathy , but reduces it to a small background noise.
I will answer questions. I have also done red light therapy.

@ Did you use it for pain as well as numbness? If so did it help numbness also. How long have you you had neuropathy before using this technology?
I read after so long neuropathy becomes permanent. I’ve had it for 40+ years. Now just numbness, thankfully.
Thanks,
Jake

They have started at the feet and will go up. They do each toe. My understanding from the neurologist is that where I am completely numb, the nerves are dead and will not resurrect. Not an Easter miracle, per tge neurologist. Where there is pain and tingling, nerves are still alive. Goal is to keep them from dying and degeneration from spreading. He is curious about my shock therapy treatments though he never mentioned them as an option. I will mention the cake to foot option to my shock wave doc.
