I have had 18 treatment with what I was told is a type 3 laser and it did not help my intense pain at night. Have any other persons had similar treatment and has it helped?

My research tells me that laser therapy is very expensive and of no value. The doctors who do this have no backing from the medical community at large. If you read the bibliography of the laser doctors you will find that most come from like-minded doctors. They will keep you returning for expensive therapy and tell you that they can see nerve repair.

I have had cold laser therapy, and it worked. I do many things to help relieve my neuropathy and this helped immensely. Twice a week for 4 weeks, exercise, diet and yoga help too!
