Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy for neuropathy or for pain?

It was thru one of the sources that listed doctors that treated PN-can do the research for it; but, the one I called WAS around Buford and the person who answered the phone said something like "we have all of these machines here and some people say that they helped!" My reaction was-don't think I will be going there anytime soon!!! It sounds like the same type of place.
Would you please tell me all about it ie did it work for you? Did you have alot of pain before going? Were you tested to see which type of neuropathy you had? What city was it in? How far apart were the treatments? Would love to find a legitimate practice here in Atlanta.
$1000 is a small price to pay for relief!!

I’m currently getting treatment here in Charleston at a teaching hospital- MUSC -Charleston campus. The RN has special training in Scambler Therapy. She has worked with the doctor who invented this ( he’s in Bonia Springs, FL.
I pay 100.00 per treatment- sessions are 45-1 hour. Your first session is longer as they are evaluating the different frequencies and pain levels. It’s a lot of does this feel ok here and moving the electrodes around - I’m
on day 4. I think I feel a little progress. The biggest expense is lodging - Since I drove from out of state ( GA) I’m in an Abnb.
I’m doing everything to try to lessen the pain so I can return to work. I work on my feet - up to 8-10 hours a day depending upon my trips - The cabin pressure makes it worse ( swelling)
I will report back - I go home Friday - drive back to Atlanta and return Monday to complete the remainder of visits for 10 total. I wish I could have found this in Atlanta but this is legit as it’s in a hospital and she has extensive knowledge with treating this disease.

I have contacted the doctor in the US with the most experience. It is Calmar Pain Relief in Bonita Springs, FL. Calmar is the proper name for scrambler therapy. The treatment takes 2 weeks, Monday thru Friday. The total cost is approximately $4,000. Some insurance covers it, at least partially. Mayo does offer it, however I've heard that their doctors are not as experienced, and apparently that greatly affects the outcome.
