Anyone tried using red light therapy?

Posted by domokane @domokane, Jul 29, 2023

There seems to be some evidence that photobiomodulation - heating the skin via infra red light - has some benefits for stimulating nerve re growth. There are lots of devices available on Amazon as well as lots of seemingly expensive treatments provided by chiropractors.

I would be interested to know of any personal experience with such devices and any possible recommendations.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

If it's something that's only being offered by chiropractors, not by any medical professionals, then it's probably a scam. Don't fall for it.

There are actually gyms that offer infared saunas. If you join the gym you can use it often at no additional cost.

I have a unit that delivers both red light and near infared it is by a company Mitored, they are not cheap but it seems to give a margin of relief from the constant burning of neuropathy. You will be looking to get a product that produces at least 810 Animators.
Hope this helps.
