Default Thoughts about Laser Light therapy for SFN and also about this interesting study

I am planning to visit a local chiropractor who specializes in low-level laser light therapy for SFN. I made this decision after finding this study on the internet which may be viewed here:


http://www.podiatrytoday.com/can-low...ral-neuropathy


What was especially interesting is that they did "before and after" skin biopsies, and were able to apparently prove that the nerve fiber density actually improved (coorsponding with the patient's subjective symptom impressions).

My main area of SFN discomfort is consistantly in my palms (and to a very small amount in my feet). Given the localized areas (and lidocane & Biofreeze don't do anything) this might be useful.

Can anyone with some expertise in this area share their thoughts?

Thanks!
