HAOLE Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) I can get you one and have you insurance pay for it. Better yet why not fix the problem that is causing the pain? Edited September 24, 2009 by HAOLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I can get you one and have you insurance pay for it. Better yet why not fix the problem that is causing the pain? How can you get me one? Nothing, including adjustments ever made my back feel as good as the tens unit the chiropractor used. I assume household units aren't quite as powerful as the ones you have?

wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I have found brand new ones online for around $30 which are the same model as the rental one I am borrowing from physical therapy. Its small but more than powerful. Workers comp should be buying me one here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time they had a problem with a few docs giving everyone that walked in the door one. The mark up is my cost is about $30 for the junk ones up to $100 for the good ones. Then I resell them for about $400. Are the websites letting your order them with out being a licensed health care person? FDA says the have to be dispensed through docs and PT's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99FLHRCI Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Depends on how pricey, may be worth it as opposed to 2-3 chiropractic visits a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
