Have you seen the infomercials for the "Willow Curve?" It is a low level laser device which is claimed to be useful for temporary pain reduction. The shape of the device dictates that is can be used on many areas of the body...extremities and neck seem to be the most obvious sites for use.

But the million dollar question is--does it work? There are reviews on the official web site, and while two or three folks did not rate it highly...most people claim to be elated with it. But outside of those reviews, the jury is mixed to put it best. For instance, consumer fraud reporting site has mixed messages about this product.
