Brief Answer:
Diabetic neuropathy

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are wondering if there are laser treatments for diabetic neuropathy? I do not know of any treatments for diabetic neuropathy that can be treated with lasers. The only treatments I know of that is for diabetic neuropathy is the anti-seizure medications like pregabalon or lyrica.

Sorry that I could not find any additional help for you and your neuropathy

I hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with any of your health care concerns or questions
