Hi!

I actually used this device coupled with Phys. Therapy for PN and balance problems. Phys. Therapy to strengthen leg and hip muscles, ankle flex, etc. along with 30 minutes of Infrared - 3 times/week for 12 weeks. This approach is intended to "retrain the nerves and commuication of the senses between the feet and the brain". Balance and leg strength improved significantly and numbness in both feet (which is basically in the toes of both feet and extends back from the toes into the foot another inch or so) also showed improvement. The degree of improvement in numbness is hard to quantify; but, it was noticeable. I am 76 and on Medicare. The treatment I received was all that Medicare would cover. I believe I can reapply a bit later and get Medicare to cover this treatment again (not certain since I am waiting til after the first of the year to check it out). In the meantime, I am looking for a used machine in operating condition if I can find one at a good price. I am also looking into purchasing a new one and what I am up against with Medicare if I do. It would be more convenient to continue PT exersize and Infrared at home; and, definitely reduce the overall cost personally and for Medicare. Both worthwhile.

So far my experience warrants continuing this effort. Only time will tell about final outcome.

Hard to obtain much serious discussion on this device and/or the ReBuilder, which I am also looking into.

Hope this is helpful. Stay in touch in touch.
