Burning, tingling, or numbness in both feet can make daily movement feel uncertain.
Infrared light uses targeted wavelengths as part of a focused rehabilitation plan for bilateral lower-extremity neuropathy. Our physical therapists combine this technology with movement, balance, and strengthening exercises when appropriate. Each plan is personalized around your symptoms, mobility, and goals.
Infrared Light Therapy uses red and near-infrared wavelengths that reach different depths of tissue. It is a non-invasive treatment used at our clinic for patients with neuropathy affecting both lower limbs.
Neuropathy may cause burning, tingling, numbness, reduced sensation, or discomfort in the feet and legs. These symptoms can interfere with walking, sleeping, balance, and everyday confidence.
Infrared light is incorporated into a broader physical therapy plan rather than used by itself. Treatment may also include Neubie technology, strengthening, balance work, and mobility training.

Your care begins with an evaluation of your symptoms, sensation, strength, balance, and walking ability. We also discuss how neuropathy affects your daily activities and confidence.
When infrared light is appropriate, it is included in a personalized plan that may address several parts of your mobility. Treatment may include:
These treatments work together to address how neuropathy affects sensation, strength, balance, and movement rather than focusing on one symptom alone.
During your first visit, your physical therapist will assess your symptoms, sensation, balance, strength, and walking pattern. We will also review your health history and the activities affected by neuropathy.
When Infrared Light Therapy is recommended, we will explain the process and position the equipment over the selected treatment areas. The treatment is non-invasive and is adjusted as part of your personalized plan.
Your rehabilitation may also include Neubie, strengthening, balance exercises, and mobility training. Same-week appointments at North Oconee make it easier to begin high-tech care close to home.
Neuropathy symptoms do not have to be ignored or managed without support. Our physical therapists can determine whether Infrared Light Therapy belongs in your plan and help you work toward better balance, mobility, and confidence.
