Default Class IV, Cutting Edge MLS M6 Robotic Laser

I did some searching and could not really find specifics on this one.

Anyone out there tried this at all for their neuropathy?

TIA.

It is just a fancy automated version of a low level laser , also called cold or soft laser..

My chiro used LLLT (low level laser therapy) for my low back and misc spot pains.
It worked great for that.

Thank you. I meant that I could only find a few folks on neurotalk that have used laser.

I am glad the laser helped you.

Still searching for the pot of gold for this pain.

I think it is one of those things that you just have to try to see if it might help or not.
Some chiropractors have those lasers so you could try a few sessions to see, but I wouldn't sign up for any long term plan.

I don't know if you have tried any expert chiropractic for the PN at all?
Just to make sure it isn't a pinched nerve issue somewhere in the body - spine or joints? Or acupuncture?

THank you so much.
Oh, if it only were a pinched nerve.
My symptoms have ramped up and have spread to most parts of my body, change and are ALWAYS worse when lying down and when sleeping.

I appreciate all your suggestions.

Hi Jo*mar,

Chiropractic is an avenue I'm yet to explore, and am seriously considering.

In your opinion, would it be worth while seeing a Chiro even though an MRI of lower spine and Ultrasounds of my ankles and wrists failed to reveal anything?

I know the Chiro will run Xrays as a matter of course (I used to be a Chiropratic Assistant a decade ago), but feel certain these Xrays won't show up anything the MRI wouldn't have picked up already.

The main reason I'm considering it is the off chance that an adjustment or two might just release an underlaying entrapped nerve.

If others here has found relief after visiting a Chiropractor I'm keen to hear about it. Other suggestions are also welcome of course.

At this point in time I'm avoiding Acupuncture as I'm a severe needle phobe. Although, if others have found significant relief I'd be open to exploring it. There comes a time when neuropathic pain trumps fear of needles.

I would give it a try.

My chiro treated me for Plantar fasciitis a long with the usually things I was seeing him about , he adjusted, stretched my foot and used low level laser treatments, also suggested arch supports, after 2 months or so my foot was not hurting anymore.

Thank you. After many tests my GP is considering mechanical causes of my pain. He suggested Plantar Faciitis, so I've been wearing Burkenstock shoes ever since. That was early this year and things haven't improved.

Yes, I will try a Chiro. Nothing to lose after all.
