Consider possible interactions between UTs if you intend to use more than one at the same time. Information about possible interactions may be hard to find. You can start by asking the manufacturer or provider of the UT you are considering. Gather all the information you can about the effectiveness of the UT used in people with your condition. Decide whether the UT seems likely to meet your expectations.
Some therapies require major changes in personal and family lifestyles.
The costs of UTs are rarely covered by provincial or private health insurance plans. Although the costs of most UTs are relatively modest compared with those of conventional therapies, travel to distant clinics or prolonged use of a UT may cause financial hardship. If your chosen therapy needs to be individualized, administered or monitored by a UT provider, you should have confidence in the person's knowledge, skills, judgement and professionalism. Also, determine whether the provider is willing to communicate openly and clearly about the therapy and your progress, and whether he or she will share information with your doctor. Your doctor may be able to help you answer these questions.
