Yes...
My chiro used it for my chronic myofascial pain from TOS/RSIs. When the cost comes down more I plan to buy one for here at home. I can't comment on direct or severe nerve pain, but for soft tissue, joints, other painful spots (triggerpoints), even Plantar Facisitis, it worked instantly for me. Shoulder pain - 20 sec and gone, elbow pain zap and gone, low back same , usually only a single tx for most of those. Plus with good chiropractic care, any misalignments that may be related to the pain can be resolved.

For the better brands and a decent size for coverage, yes.
You might also look into near/far infrared (aka FIR) / jade mats if you have whole body pain/symptoms. Laser would be difficult to do for mostly whole body issues, but the FIR and jade type mats or lights might work better in those cases. A little more outside the mainstream but who knows maybe it will help. Ask about a trial time or returns if no results etc.

I haven't read the details about your pain or symptoms, but for my chronic RSI/TOS/CMP, my chiro would use a combo of LLLT (laser), IF stim, ultra sound, then any adjustments as needed, and NIMMO or soft tissue/trigger point techniques.
