Laser treatment for neuropathy?

Posted by pfbacon @pfbacon, Jan 22, 2019

I think I remember that some of you posted about laser treatment for neuropathy but I have looked through 6 months of topics and can't find anything about it. Have any of you had it and how did it go? I have acute sensory neuropathy and restless leg syndrome in case that matters. There is a doctor here who does it, I have an appointment on Friday to discuss it. Thanks ! Peggy

I saw the laser doctor today, he's actually a chiropractor but he is licensed to use his new laser machine . He was candid. Laser doesn't exactly cure neuropathy but many patients benefit from it. He said it works better if we only have the beginnings of neuropathy. I'm rather far advanced but it would still do some temporary healing, I would need to do it many times at first, then occasionally as maintenance. He will see how much of it my insurance company will cover and call me on Mon or Tues of next week. Thanks for your input, all of you who shared some experience. Peggy

It was successful in removing all of the scar tissue from the bottom of my feet. I paid $50 for a session and it was well worth it. It is now two years later and i can walk around on my bare feet with out pain or discomfort

Yes, I have received several Laser treatments at a chiropractors office and it eliminated all of the problems that felt like marbles on the bottom of my feet. It was a painless procedure and I am guessing that it is a common treatment from chiropractors or sports trainers.

Do you know the type of laser? There are high and low level, some are labeled hot or cold, class 3 and 4...
So confusing. I am finding chiropractors near me offering this as well. Thank you

I had about 6 cold laser treatments. The effects lasted a couple of months (I could wear shoes that I couldn't before).

I have been using a Class 3B cold laser home usage unit for my frozen shoulder pain with good results, I can reference you to coldlaser.org in Colorado more info.

Some days, my nervous system freaks out and causes me a lot of pain in spite of all the medicines I take. Other days, I only feel pain for an hour three times a day (the hour before the next dose of medicine is due). I would like to find something I could use to stop the pain during the hours when medicine has worn off or isn't adequate. Peggy
