Laser Therapy for Neuropathy

Hi @mikween, I had looked into laser therapy or a form of it a year or so ago when I started looking for solutions to my neuropathy (no pain, just numbness/tingling in both legs and feet). I had a friend that went to the one in the suburbs of Minneapolis and feels like it has helped her. I checked into it but didn't get the feeling it would work for me. It's an ongoing treatment program with each treatment running $125 to $175 (somewhere in that range if I am remembering correctly) and it takes between 8 and 12 treatments before you normally see any results according to the person I talked with at the company. None of it is covered by insurance. I determined quickly that it wasn't for me just because of the discussion with the people and the iffy wording from them. There is also a combined laser therapy with a nutrition program that made a little more sense to me but again it's a chiropractor and staff so I'm not too excited...call me a skeptic. I suppose if I had unlimited finances it might be an option just to try.

Here's a search link from Google Scholar for laser therapy for neuropathy: http://bit.ly/2sDX5Dt

I'm not saying it won't work but I would do a lot of research before deciding. Are you looking at a specific laser therapy provider for treatment?

Good luck whatever you decide! Can you keep us updated?
