Red light therapy idiopathic neuropathy numbness tingling

Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy, marketed under name Calmare. Does it help with numbness or only with pain? Apparently Cleveland Clinic does it.

Hi,

I have written in this blog about red light therapy and shockwave. If you cannot find what i have written, then i will write another answer. Typing brings numbness to my hand. Injury related.

please recap on those 2 therapies.

I have idiopathic neuropathy in my feet. In addition to a couple of oral supplements and topicals, I've used red light therapy (double boot) for the past 4 months. I try do it three times a week for 15-20 minutes, but have missed a few sessions. So far, I can't say that it has helped much, if at all. Might my neuropathy be a little worse without the red light therapy? Who knows?

@cwloeffler thank u for your input. I found one on the top of neurology teams at mass General in Boston and they have done. absolutely nothing for me ?They tell me this will be progressive overtime and we can give you medication for pain. I could not be more disappointed, even though it is idiopathic, which we know means they don’t know the cause I feel that nobody is even trying to discover the cause…it almost feels like they’re shrugging their shoulders. They even said doing the EMG and they would do it if I want it, but it would probably not change the protocol! Why would I put myself through that discomfort for no reason at all ?people in this kind of discomfort are absolutely desperate, I am just looking for some hope …unfortunately the scammers know that and take cash only for what they tell you is a cure. I wish there was somebody out there I could trust who actually had some interest in finding out what the issue was.

please search "blueprint for neuropathy". I have gotten substantial relief using it...not cured, but much less numbness and tingling.

you should find the conversation I started in there, where I explain my journey.

Good luck in yours.

I had neuropathy of both legs I'm a diabetic the my provider told me I had neuropathy so I did everything I could to help it the whole thing everything you could think of come find out I had a CT scan on my legs and it wasn't neuropathy at all it was I wasn't getting any blood in my legs which was causing cramping the hold on yards pain and I started taking blood flow and it all stopped so a lot of people think they have neuropathy come and find out it's just you're not getting any blood in your lower part of your body I could get blood fine up at the top but you couldn't even find a pulse in my toe had to reach clean up to the groin to find a pulse so that isn't neuropathy that's no blood going to your things I hope this helps somebody God bless you all

I have tried many test to see what caused my neuropathy. Finally figured it out that I have Amyloidosis. Get tested for Amyloidosis from your doctor.
