Most people don't have insurance. I still like Acuscope therapy

I'd pay a moderate cost, but ONLY if this is a proven treatment.
4/20/2011 11:18:35 PM
if more than one treatment is needed any cost more than $60 per would be outside my reach

None

I use shockwave frequently especially for soreness before an actual injury happens.
4/20/2011 12:11:08 AM
I would not choose this treatment.

I found the average to be $250 per treatment by vets qualified to administer this type of treatement
4/19/2011 8:55:11 PM
wouldnt spend more than 1K total
4/19/2011 8:04:11 PM
have in the past and will do again, if recommended
4/19/2011 6:28:15 PM
I wouldn't pay anything I don't really think that its necessay!
4/19/2011 5:37:36 PM
moot point. Studies are scewed to exclude all but the most elementary problem thus getting approval
4/19/2011 2:26:51 PM
I would choose the conservative amount first, would want to see proof of effectiveness for my horse
