Anyone tried using red light therapy?

I use a tens unit on my lumbar area and it helps when my back pain is bad. I tried using it on my feet so I could walk as a form of exercise. Initially I thought it was helpful. But my foot pain increased so I stopped walking, then my feet started having shock like pain. It only lasted a few days but I decided no more tens unit for them.

I used the Dr Ho's foot pads. Twice. At first, i liked the sensations because they traveled from the feet, up my legs. However , i think the tightness on my feet felt worse. so , fortunately i got it from amazon, and can return it. I still am using the ultrasound on my feet about every 3 days... i know my first chiropractor helped me position the tens on my back, i think it was on the side of the spine, not on it..........and years ago that worked perfectly. since he is retired, i don't know any other chiropractor that is as knowledgeable as he was.
I am trying to find a microcurrent where a DR can program it for not only legs, etc., but also for kidneys, hands, etc. Many units are for sale, but, they won't be preprogrammed correctly.......Microcurrent is less intensive the a tens.........i did try wrapping my foot in a castor oil pack. Only once so far..........If i find anything that seems to help, i will let you know

i was playing around with different wordings in google. Just found yet another, new treatment, tho not a cure.........i guess some neurologists use it, but probably not too many yet. Its called AXON THERAPY,,,,,,,,,,,It wouldn't work for me, because i have no pain.....yet.....but if it works for only one, of you , i guess my continuous searching will be worth it...........to my surprise, Sloan Kettering Cancer . CENTER ..........has info on using ultrasound for Neuropathy. they, however say, only once a week for 6 weeks. Other websites are more lenient, with longer usage............also popped up was something called WALKASLNS, I can't read my scribbled handwriting, but if you type that in, something should pop up.........sorry, will write me neater notes next time
