RE: Theraputic Items/Back Pain
All the stuff I have at home I paid for, most is Excercise things you would see in PT. I know if doctor orders a tens unit they might pay for that.

RE: Theraputic Items/Back Pain
All of my gel filled pad for use in the microwave and in the freezer were paid for by w/c. The tens until was. So far that is it. From what I understand they like to know something is going to work, so some of the unorthadox things probably won't be covered.
