Conditions · Neuropathic Pain
A supportive option for nerve pain and neuropathy.
Photobiomodulation is used to calm inflamed nerves, support fibre repair and improve circulation to hands, feet and other affected areas.
The science
Why light helps irritated nerves
Neuropathic pain often reflects damaged or sensitised nerve fibres with local inflammation and poor perfusion. 808nm near-infrared light reaches deep tissue and neural structures, stimulating mitochondrial activity, reducing oxidative stress and supporting nerve health.
The large treatment head allows both feet, both hands or a full nerve pathway to be treated in a single hands-free session.

FAQ
Neuropathy & photobiomodulation
Can photobiomodulation help nerve pain?+
Yes. Red and near-infrared light is used to reduce inflammation around irritated nerves, support nerve fibre repair and improve local circulation, which can reduce burning, tingling and shooting pain.
What kinds of neuropathy are treated?+
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, post-surgical nerve pain, post-shingles pain, carpal and tarsal tunnel symptoms and idiopathic small-fibre neuropathy are commonly supported.
Is it safe with diabetes or after chemotherapy?+
Yes. Photobiomodulation is drug-free and non-invasive. Your practitioner will review your history and coordinate sessions around medication, oncology follow-up or diabetic care.
How many sessions are usually needed?+
Neuropathy responds gradually. A typical starting course is 12 to 20 sessions, with review at the halfway point to assess sensation, pain and sleep.
Will I feel anything during a session?+
Most people feel a gentle warmth. There is no shock, no needles and no downtime.
