Sanexas worked for me also!
I have had about 6 Sanexas treatments in Wisconsin where Medicare does not cover Sanexas any more (since 2021). The persom giving me the treatments said they sometimes gave vitamin(?) injectons as part of the treatment. Does your treatment include injections? How often did you get Sanexas treatments?
I am moving to Virginia soon where Sanexas treatments are still covered by medicare. I suspect the limit of 20 exists there also. Wisconsin had a limit of 24 yearly treatments of acupuncture that I have used for the last 2 years with some improvement in speed of walking but not much improvement in toe movement.
I live in northern California. One of the doctor's at the wellness center said they had to hire someone (it might have been an attorney) to navigate getting medicare to approve the treatment. I've never heard anyone comment that working with medicare was easy. I had treatment twice a week for ten weeks. The clinic told me Medicare pays for twenty treatments per year. I'm not sure why only twenty in nor cal but twenty-four in WI? Yes, I had the supplement injection which is a mix of vitamins and supplements, including Alpha Lipoic Acid, which I already take. I'm not sure if my success story is normal but according to the doctor at the wellness center their success rate is very high unless the PN is very advanced. My sister was just diagnosed with neuropathy and I've recommended she look for Sanexas treatment close to where she lives.
I would like to add that was given a LZR UltrBright Red light Therapy Pro 20,000 MW (infrared and red light) to try between the last 2 Sanexas treatments. It treated an area about 4 X 8 inches at a time for 30 seconds per use area. I used it on 6 areas on my head and neck, solar plexus, liver, stomack, and neuropathy locations below my knees (3-4 areas on each leg).
I used it about 3 times a day for about a week and seemed to get better sleep, less pain, and some mprovement in walking speed. I did not get much improvement in toe movement yet. I returned the LZR in with my last Sanexas treatment. I may purchase an LZR (not covered by Medicare) after about a month without it to see if Sanexas alone will improve toe movement.
I did 12 sessions 2x wk for 6 wks on Sanexas treatments and had to stop. Caused back spasms which my back nerves were sensitive anyway. Put suctions cups there too. They should have monitored the level for each patient instead of asking my comfort level. I am numb so cant tell the right level. Found out they could not get insurance coverage so they never called me back.
Are you on Medicare? This is an approved treatment
Sanexas treatments in Wisconsin is where Medicare does not cover Sanexas any more (since 2021). I was being treated in Appleton, Wisconsin where the provide had more than ten Sanexas machine that they purchased before 2021 and had a thriving business in Sanexas through 2021. They did suppplement injections with it also then. I was told Medicare(??) in Wisconsin somehow declared the treatement as "experimental" and would no longer
cover the treatment.
I really have a hard time believing that the Sanexas treatment is Medicare approved in Maine, but not in your state. I think some more inquiries need to be made.
I had approximately 45 RST Sanexas treatments in 2021. Included with my treatments were a vitamin cocktail which was injected into my feet each treatment. The injections did not hurt as the injection site was frozen before each treatment. I was asked to give a score from 10 highest level of pain to 1 no pain. When I began treatment my level of pain was 9 and after the treatments ended in December 2021 I was reporting a level of 4. I could walk much better and my stride increased. Cramping still existed but was much subdued. I stopped treatments due to the high cost in 2022. I had to pay $155.00 per month as a copay to United Health Care medicare and a $20.00 deductible for each treatment. It was costing me $315.00 per month. Did it work? YES, it did. My only regret was the amount of time of the treatment was usually 25 minutes long and I had to attend twice a week. I feel if I was allowed to spend a longer time say 45 minutes each visit I would be at level 1 or cured today. Will I do it again? yes when my finances improve.
I tried it twice a week for 24 weeks. I got no results.
