Sharp, stabbing pain keeps you awake at night. Your feet feel like they're on fire, yet numb at the same time. You've tried medications, creams, and home remedies, but nothing provides lasting relief. If nerve pain and neuropathy are interfering with your quality of life, you're not alone—and you're not out of options. The specialists at Indy Podiatry can help you break free from this cycle and reclaim your active lifestyle with Remy laser treatment—a state-of-the-art therapy that addresses the root causes of neuropathy, not just the symptoms.

How Does Remy Laser Treatment Work on Nerve Pain?
This noninvasive approach uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate damaged nerve tissues and stimulate natural healing processes—a process known as photobiomodulation. The laser delivers precise energy to affected areas, promoting cellular regeneration and reducing inflammation that contributes to nerve pain. Unlike medications that mask symptoms temporarily, this treatment addresses some of the underlying causes of neuropathy, such as injury, trauma, autoimmune conditions, and infections.
The photons from the Remy Laser increase blood flow to damaged nerves, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen needed for repair. This enhanced circulation helps remove metabolic waste products that can worsen nerve dysfunction. Additionally, the laser stimulates beta-endorphin release—your body's natural painkiller and stress reliever.
Clinical studies demonstrate that laser therapy can help regenerate damaged nerve fibers and improve nerve conduction velocity. Many of our patients at Indy Podiatry often experience reduced pain intensity, improved sensation, and better overall nerve function after completing their treatment series.
What Conditions Respond Best to Remy Laser Therapy?
Not all neuropathy cases are the same. Understanding which conditions respond most favorably to Remy Laser treatment helps you make a more informed decision about potential care options.
Diabetic Neuropathy
This is one of the most common conditions treated with Remy Laser therapy. High blood sugar levels damage peripheral nerves over time, causing pain, tingling, and loss of sensation in the feet and legs. Laser treatment helps restore nerve function and provides noticeable pain relief.
Peripheral Neuropathy From Other Causes
Whether nerve damage results from chemotherapy, vitamin deficiencies, injury, trauma, or unknown factors, this therapy helps reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Morton's Neuroma
A neuroma is a painful condition affecting the ball of the foot. Remy Laser treatment reduces inflammation around the affected nerve and promotes healing of surrounding tissues. This targeted approach helps our patients avoid more invasive surgical interventions while achieving meaningful pain relief.
Chronic Conditions
Laser therapy is particularly helpful with other issues that haven’t responded to traditional treatments. If you’re suffering from plantar fasciitis or other nerve-related foot and ankle pain, this innovative approach reduces inflammation and promotes tissue healing.
What Should You Expect During Treatment Sessions?
After a thorough examination by one of our knowledgeable Indianapolis podiatrists, we’ll confirm a diagnosis and customize a treatment protocol. The total number of Remy Laser sessions varies based on the severity of your condition and your individual response to therapy. Most of our patients usually complete multiple sessions spread over several weeks.
Treatment benefits include:
- Pain reduction. Many people notice decreased nerve pain within the first few sessions. The cumulative effect builds over time, providing longer-lasting relief.
- Improved sensation. Numbness and tingling often diminish as nerve function improves. Individuals frequently report better balance and coordination.
- Enhanced mobility. As pain decreases and sensation returns, daily activities become easier and more enjoyable.
- No side effects. Unlike medications, Remy Laser therapy produces no adverse reactions or drug interactions.
A procedure typically lasts 15–20 minutes, and you can return to your regular activities with no downtime.
Are There Any Risks or Limitations to Consider?
When administered by the trained professionals at Indy Podiatry, you can expect a painless experience with Remy Laser treatment—most people describe the sensation as a gentle warming feeling without discomfort.
That said, there are a few contraindications to keep in mind:
- Pregnancy. Expectant mothers should avoid laser treatment as a precautionary measure. The therapy can be safely resumed after delivery and breastfeeding.
- Medical condition screening. Patients with active cancer in the treatment area require careful evaluation before beginning therapy. Our podiatrists will review your complete medical history to ensure safety before recommending Remy Laser therapy.
- Photosensitizing medications. Individuals taking specific medications that increase light sensitivity need a thorough assessment before starting laser treatment. Common examples include certain antibiotics, diuretics, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
While many of our patients achieve significant pain relief and improved function, laser therapy may not completely eliminate all symptoms in severe cases of advanced neuropathy. The goal is meaningful improvement in quality of life.
