A few years back Medicare did pay for treatment but they no longer do. I am just sucking it up and paying out of pocket although I hope to be re-imbursed partially by my insurance. I agree the treatment does not change the numbness and tingling but it is helping the non stop pain I have had for eight years. I am also able to reduce my medicine load to Naproxen during the day and one Loritab at night. Not being on so many medications has helped too.

Maybe if it begins to work for more and more people it will become a recognized treatment by the insurance industry. Think in the long run this would be more cost effective for them.
