Hi! I have neuropathy, caused by diabetes. I heard something about infrared therapy for neuropathy. Does this therapy help to decrease neuropathy? Please answer me.
Hi! It is controversial. Manufactures claim that use of infrared devices decrease diabetic neuropathy. None of these devices have been approved for use. I would definitely not recommend you to use any infrared heat lamp. There are a many options to treat diabetic neuropathy. I would advise you to talk about that with your doctor.
