Anyone familiar with or had it? Wife has real bad tennis elbow. Went to the doctor and was offered 3 options. Cortisone shots with a 40-50% chance of cure 9insurance paid), surgery with 70-80% cure rate (insurance paid), and shock wave therapy with 80+% cure rate (out of pocket).
She took the shock wave route and had her second treatment today (could take up to 5 but she already has greatly improved) Says it's like 5 minutes of someone using a blunt air chisel on the spot but they wrap it in some kind of algea and oil bandage afterwards that she wears for 2 days.
I was googling to see if it was common in the States and what a treatment costs but didn't find much. Found prices from $200-1000 per treatment.
Her treatments cost 45 euro ($65+/-) each all included.
I guess I'll never understand the big difference in medical costs between here and there. Sure shows up in insurance rates.
