Has anyone tried Scrambler Therapy for neuropathy or for pain?

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.

Have you talked with people that have had the therapy? Are you going to go there for their therapy? Please keep us updated.

Mayo would not see me because they didn't like my UHC Medicare Advantage (PPO). They said even if I changerd my insurance they still might not be willing to treat me. They seem to have teams that decide what patients to accept.

I used to be a patient at Mayo when I was working for a corporation and had slightly different insurance. I believe thye like to charge more than normal insurance will cover, in other words they want a premium. I know many people who are able to go to May for a variety of conditions. Its unfortunate that this renown institution is not available to all people with a reaonable level of insurance. I observed from my prior treatment with them, for me and my mother, that they are not infallible.

So Mayo Clinic is offering it?? Is it supposed to help specific neuropathy types?
