I finally found a clinic with MD's and DO's, near me, who are now using the SOFTWAVE for treatments. I was so surprised to see actual Dr.s using it in their clinic. I have my first appointment in a couple of weeks. it's similar, i think, to the ultrasound wand i have been using, but, sounds like it is even better for regenerating legs etc. The Dr on the phone did say, it doesn't always work for every one, and their is no guarantee.........that was refreshing to hear, usually Dr.s say how much you will like it, and how happy you will be.....which is not always true............If insurance won't cover it, Soft Wave treatments are advertised all over the internet for $69 a treatment. BUT, i do not know if that is just for the first treatment........or for each one, or if their price changes for follow ups. $6 9 i think is very reasonable. If it doesn't help, at least you won't go broke checking out 3 or 4 treatments to see if it is helping enough to continue.......hit Google, type in something like where is a clinic that offers Softwave treatments ......then put in your city and st.......maybe you will find one. It doesn't have to be one with MDs, other people are trained in using the device.

Last night i went on line, and asked.....can the ultrasound wand be used on the bottom of the feet for neurpoathy...........it did say yes, and a little more info was given. I will be trying that today. One website said not to use ultrasound more than 3 times a week,,,,,,,,,,,so i will stick to that time frame. When you ask questions on line, you really have to be exact in your wording of what you want to know.....Once i asked............what causes legs to be weak? the answer was muscles, tendons and ligaments..............with a little more explanation. but then i had to go back and ask........what helps to build up muscles, tendons and ligaments...............point is......your questions gets answered, but you have to keep re phrasing it, to get all the answers you are looking for. Looks like i would use the wand and slowly roll it around the bottom of the foot. BUT, do NOT keep it in one spot, as it could cause burning, website says you have to keep the wand moving, and only for 5 to 10 minutes per treatment.............so much to check out..........Who was the ding a ling that came up with the statement................this is our Golden Years????/
