Does anybody have experience with SANEXAS. It is touted as Electric Cell Signaling Treatment especially for peripheral neuropathy.

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.

Hello Malcolm, would you like to talk to the Sanexas company directly?

Regarding treatment times? It depends on the patients condition and the number of frequency energy waves set for the treatment. Usually they recommend 20-30 minute treatment times which gives all the treatment program parameters time to complete their frequency cycle. I’m glad to hear you are better so maybe 1x per week for a 30minutes treatment will continue to improve your condition but also maintain your improvement.

If you want to call Sanexas for more information, please give him our number 702-315-2999 and you can talk to Morhea. Tell them I gave you this information. It’s done wonders for me.

CS Neuro does do SANEXAS but it is not billed to Medicare. The subject matter is much more complex than it ought to be but in Colorado only licensed and authorized Medicare physical therapists can bill Medicare. And of course, none of the PT firms use it. In Colorado chiropractors are the largest SANEXAS providers and it is cash pay. The other providers are cash pay too. Dumb, but true.

What is the cost? I see that Health Restoration in Westminster has it.

Sanexas has worked for me - it took months of treatment twice a week, but am no longer feeling that when I'm walking there are invisible swim fins on. Noticeable improvement and insurance has been good. So lucky to have this nearby - cannot understand why there's no place for treatment in LA.

In Wisconsin SANEXAS was not covered by Medicare - per SANEXAS provider in Wisconsin. In Virginia medicare is covering SANEXAS with the balance paid by my BCBS insurance - no cost to me. Codes used in the billings are 97110-GP, 97112-GP, and 97116-GP when billed from Virginia. I am not sure if that makes a difference. There are periodic measured reviews that seem to show some progress in getting more sensitivity in my feet. This is for foot drop with little pain. I am under the impression that if the measurements do not show improvement, that medicare may discontine coverage. I am treated about three times a week.

That is truly wonderful. I've been using a TENS at home for a long time. I think it helps my feet. I have had jaw pain after having teeth removed over a month ago, making it hard to open my mouth to eat. I finally put the TENS pads on that area and it is much better. It must have loosened up a cramped muscle. I really believe in electrical stimulation to heal . After my chemo, my biggest problem has been my feet being numb and being frightened to drive. I think with the help of Vits. D3, K2 and alpha lipoic acid they are better and I am going to try to drive down to the mail box today. (if i never appear here again, you know i crashed into the canyon.)

Hello @foxmate57, Welcome to Connect. While we wait for @raebaby to share what type/model/manufacturer of the TENS unit they use, I thought I would let you know there is another discussion on TENS units where members have shared their experience.
--- TENS Units: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/tens-units/

I only have numbness with my idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. When I first started looking for things that might help, I purchased a Zopec DT-1200 Tens Unit for PN and used it for about 6 weeks but it didn't help with my neuropathy but others in the Minnesota Neuropathy Association where I learned about the device thought it helped them - https://www.zopec.com/products/zopec-electrotherapy-for-neuropathy-and-pain.

Have you used a TENS unit before?

This is the TENS unit I own. My first one quit working. I replaced it with a cheaper one that lasted a lot less long. Then I reordered this one. I'm happy with it and use it for the peripheral neuropathy in my feet and carpal tunnel in my left hand. I also use it for my calves and thighs for circulation and cramps. I had treatment for breast cancer (now in remission for almost 2 years) and the peripheral neuropathy was caused by the chemo.The TENS hasn't been able to get my ability to drive back

If this comes through gobbly-gook, I bought th Massage Therapy Concepts for around $69 on Amazon
