All I did was a search for "cold laser treatment for epilepsy". In those links it stated that it's not recommended for individuals with epilepsy.

I found going to a Chiropractor beneficial. She worked in areas around my neck that were stiff and bothering the most. The VNS was a problem and realigning the upper and lower spinal column which helps alot w/ seizure threshold. My neck, she was very gentle and it helped gradually. I used medication, my seizure medication , along w/ regular exercise. It was helpful along w/ diet. It was applying common sense. I came in w/ pain and left w/ no pain. I did not need to take any pain medication by seeing a Chiropractor. The seizures seemed better too. Each patient is different!
I am not familiar to a Chiropractor Neurologist.

Thanks Karen. Let me know what you find out in the medical journals. Where did you find the articles saying that it was not recommended for epilepsy.
