Does anybody have experience with SANEXAS for neuropathy?

Diagnosed with idiopathic PN. I have numbness, cold and pain in feet, lower legs, hands and forearms. Neurologist said there is no effective treatment but that some have had some success controlling pain with acupuncture but no one has had any luck with a chiropractor. I found acupuncture to be very relaxing, but didn't help with PN. I read about relief for PN in a local Pennysaver ad type newspaper. I went and spoke with a chirporactor at a local wellness center. When he explained the process to me it sounded like a sales job for something that didn't sound medically possible. He then suggested I talk to patient currently being treated for PN on a Sanexas. Her story sounded too good to be true. Her initial symptoms sounded like mine only worse. However, she was now doing much better and explained her newfound ability to feel her feet and walk comfortably. The chiropractor told me medicare now covered the treatment and explained their high success rate for people who aren't too far advanced with their PN. I was skeptical but in today's world, my experience is that too many doctors are only following the advice they are allowed to dispense per the orders of their hospital owners group. I agreed to try the Sanexas treatment. My results have far exceeded any gains I would have thought to be possible. My numbness almost disappeared. Fast forward three months and some of my numbness has returned. Medicare pays for 20 treatments per year so I can return next calendar year and have 20 more treatments. If I decide I need/want more than I can pay out of pocket for it. For me, it's been a rare victory against a medical problem where I was told there was no treatment.

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 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.

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 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.
