Shock waves, (Ultrasound) are widely used for the treatment of epicondylitis and plantar fasciitis and to foster bone and wound healing. But it hasn't worked for me and my neuropathy in my feet. So far, I have done 4 treatments at $350 a treatment. Do the math. If I got the slightest optimistic sign I would continue. This machine, I was told, was invented by the Israeli military. The treatment is ultrasound and a second part that supposed to correct the body from rejecting the initial treatment phase after it ends. This is the best way I could explain it. Good luck whatever you try. Wishing you a pain free life.
