It is something different to try. My insurance paid for it so I did not mind but I guess I can say it helps sometimes and sometimes it does not. There are 5 different programs with settings. You can use all 5 at the same time where it goes 2 minutes on each program and continues until you change it or turn it off....or you can leave it on 1 program all day. The problem is all of the variables.....which one to change....which one to leave....to turn it up or down....hmmmm

As you can see, I'm not sure I would pay out of pocket. Sorry.
