Anyone tried shock wave therapy for peripheral neuropathy nerve pain?

I cannot answer your question but simply recommend related research. There are so many quacks out there with "clinical" proof or just outright lies about miracle cures. They feed on our hopes and fears, pain and suffering for their profit and benefit.

Hi, no, shockwave therapy is not the same as laser. It can be painful when you goes over inflammed areas. It did fix an area peroneal tendonitis (near my ankle.). When it is done on too high a frequency, it can cause pain later in the day, which does subside, but the person doing it lowered the intensity when I told her this. You can yelp or google reviews for finding a qualified person.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll stick with lazar for now. It's painless.

God bless you for posting this. I have been dealing with peroneal tendinitis since October 2024. I have multiple tendon tears in both feet and I’ve had surgery on the right foot. This has been devastating as I am a dancer and enjoy walking and snorkeling. Add that to some neuropathy/fibromyalgia weirdness after having Covid and a bunch of vaccines, and what a nightmare. I finally have found a doctor from Johns Hopkins who recommended shockwave therapy for both of my feet and I start in two weeks. Any tips or things you think I should know about?

Hi - I sent you a private message.

If you have had neuropathy for a long time I wouldn't risk thousands of dollars for something that is probably going to be less beneficial than if you’ve had it for a short time.
If you try it, I hope you'll let us know whether or not it helped.
Take care,
Jake

Hi Jake. I’m doing it for the tendinitis, not the peripheral neuropathy. But I’ll let you know the impact on each!

Best of luck, I hope it works!

I too got PN from my second Phizer Covid shot; the only thing that has helped me are corticosteroid shots every 4 months in my lower back. Did you try them?
