Anodyne may be used safely over:
- ANY part of the body including the spine
- Metal implants, pins, screws
- Pacemakers and defibrillators
How often will patients need to go for treatment?
Chronic conditions: Typical protocols will require patients to be treated for a minimum of 30 minutes, three times per week, for approximately 4 weeks. Anodyne Therapy will be provided along with other skilled therapy interventions that are needed to improve function based on the patient’s assessment and personal goals.
Acute conditions: For severe pain, treatments can be given up to three times per day. Protocols may be of shorter duration and lower frequency in some cases.
The Care Plan should always be set by a therapist, physician or nurse based on a clinical assessment of the severity and duration of the patient’s condition. Longer standing conditions may require more frequent treatments and/or longer duration than 4 weeks.
How soon will patients feel better and how long will their relief last?
- Some patients feel pain relief in the first treatment, while others need 6 or more treatments to feel improvement. Generally speaking, if patients have not felt some improvement within 12 treatments, infrared therapy may not be effective for their condition.
- Anodyne Therapy relieves pain temporarily. Chronic painful and/or circulatory conditions will require lifetime use of a home system for long-term symptomatic relief.
- Home units can be affordably obtained by patients after a successful course of clinical treatment.
Will insurance cover patient treatments?
- Other medically necessary therapy services delivered as part of the care plan are covered by Medicare and Private Insurance unless benefit limits have been exceeded.
- Medicare and some private insurance companies may not cover Anodyne Therapy treatments for certain conditions. We will verify your benefits and help explain them to you on your initial appointment. In most cases, the charge is no more than a small co-pay.
