Anyone tried using red light therapy?

I'm looking into something more than a hand held wand for my feet and legs. I've looked into panels, wraps and even structured high boots with red lights inside. Unfortunately there's lots of junky products out there, so you need to be aware of the specs and read (legitimate) reviews.

I have several red light wraps............but, I too, am wondering, did i buy the proper ones? Sure they have different levels, but........are they really properly made, or did i also buy junk? One tho, when i wrap it around my thigh, my leg does feel stronger when i stand up , and get around that day. I also just started using a Tens unit, and an ultrasound wand, which is supposed to help regenerate tissue.........The bottom of my feet feel pretty stiff., so i will be able to tell if any of them work. It MIGHT be wishful thinking, but yesterday, they don't feel quite as tight................will be doing another ultrasound this morning. I read where you should only use it up to 3 times a week..................hmmm........hope it is working, and not my imagination

I use Anodyne ultraviolet light therapy for 30 minutes twice a day along with Rebuider Electric Stimulation 30 minutes, twice a day and two supplements twice daily —Vasopro (beets) to add nitric oxide to blood stream and Greensberry. I also wear compression hose/socks. So long as I take these religiously, the neuropathy is manageable. They relieve most of the stabbing pain, tingling, burning, numbness, and stiffness. If I stay on my feet too long, they get heavy and have some numbness. I took Gabapentin for three weeks, but it made me too loopy. I see a chiropractor certified in neuropathy. The neurologist that diagnosed small fiber peripheral neuropathy through biopsies said there was no treatment for neuropathy. Hard to believe, I know!! These treatments help with gait issues and my goal is avoiding falls. I am almost 77 y o and had neuropathy for about 3 years. My overall health is good.
