I was just searching to see if there are any MLS Light Therapy options for the Eau Claire, Wisconsin areas or even the Rochester MAYO as it says that MLS Light Therapy has been FDA approved. Might check out Aspirus to the east of us as they just bought our Stanley, WI hospital and Clinic recently. Maybe I should call Humana Medicare A B insurance to find out. I've had this debilitating pain ever since a sharp debridement was done on my venous ulcer a few years ago. It completely healed up, but the pain was exactly the same as when the wound was open. Now I have wounds again. Sure would like to try it. Especially if medicare approves it after the recent FDA approval.

Hi @betty1952
I have used cold laser therapy for my neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome. The instrument is FDA approved and is at some physical therapy places and chiropractors (so check your insurance). There have been studies done, the therapy has been found to be effective after at least 4 weeks @2x.
I also take a prescription called Metanx for nerve health. With both of these and exercise, my goal is to hopefully reduce the rate of the spread of the neuropathy.
When you call to see if either laser is covrred; ask if they (or better yet, a supervisor) can suggest for what can be done for chronic (use an adjective of your choice) nerve pain, that is causing unnecessary stress, interferes with your everyday life, and has greatly reduced your ability to sleep through the night.
