People's thought on if it is worth paying $3,000 for a laser machine?

We have a laser and an ultrasound and my preference is for the latter. One thing the laser does work wonders on is scar tissue from really badly torn muscles.

Hi Rose, for me its not one over another. Different machines for different injuries. I use the laser for most because it does not involve heat as it is a photochemical process. Eg if you have an injury that is bleeding you can use the laser straight away, starting the healing process quicker.
I have a laser, I think I paid $2400, worth every penny.
I have an ultrasonic. It generates heat, more physical. I use for metacarpal soreness in the bucket of water, must be a steel/metal bucket.
I have not got one yet, magnetic field therapy unit.
I have a laser that does everything. I was thinking of getting an ultrasound but decided against it as they can cause too much damage to muscle tissue, and as the machine I have cannot harm in any way it suits me and a lot less hassle.
