Short answer
Neuropathy symptoms have many drivers. Where laser therapy is appropriate, it is one part of a plan that starts with finding out what is causing the symptoms.
First things first
Identifying the cause before treating the symptom
Diabetes, medications, nerve compression, thyroid problems, and nutritional factors all produce similar symptoms. The examination and history come before any therapy.
Where a medical cause is driving the picture, co-management with your physician is part of the plan.
The therapy
What laser sessions involve
Treatment is applied over the affected area, commonly the feet or the hands, for several minutes per region, with a mild warming sensation and nothing sharp.
Response varies between people, and progress is reviewed rather than assumed.
