It utilizes oscillating pulses in the radiofrequency spectrum, which is a safe and non-invasive method. The therapy is fast-acting and has long-lasting effects, with pain relief
2 Theories about how transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation works:
(i) Electrical current stimulates nerve cells that block the transmission of pain signals, modifying pain perception.
(ii) Nerve stimulation raises the level of endorphins – the body’s natural pain-killing chemicals - and endorphins block the perception of pain.
The Stimpod pain machine is used to treat pain in the extremities, different forms of neuropathy, as well as vagal nerve stimulation and vertigo, and balance.
Significant improvements have been evident and reported within 3-5 sessions for the following conditions:
