STIMPOD NMS460 THERAPY in Jackson MI

 

Advanced, Non-Invasive Nerve Stimulation for Pain, Neuropathy & Nerve-Related Conditions

Burning. Tingling. Numbness. Shooting pain. Pins and needles. Hypersensitivity.

When nerves aren't functioning normally, the symptoms can affect almost every part of your life—from walking and sleeping to working, exercising, and simply getting through your day comfortably.

At Manchester Family Chiropractic Center, we use the STIMPOD NMS460, an advanced non-invasive neuromodulation system designed to stimulate nerves using specialized electrical and electromagnetic stimulation.

Unlike treatments that simply try to cover up symptoms, STIMPOD Therapy in Jackson MI  gives us another way to directly interact with the nervous system.

What Is STIMPOD?

STIMPOD NMS460 is a medical device designed for non-invasive neuromodulation.

That's a complicated term for a fairly simple idea:

We use carefully controlled stimulation to influence how nerves are functioning and communicating.

Your nervous system works through electrical signals. When a nerve becomes irritated, damaged, compressed, or overly sensitive, those signals can change.

STIMPOD allows us to deliver controlled stimulation to specific nerves and areas of the body without needles or surgery.

The goal is to help modulate abnormal nerve activity, reduce pain, and improve nerve-related function when appropriate for your condition.

---

How Does STIMPOD Work?

The STIMPOD NMS460 generates a specialized electrical current that produces an electromagnetic field around the treatment area.

Depending on what we're treating, a small treatment probe or electrodes can be positioned over specific nerves or areas of the body.

The stimulation can then be carefully adjusted based on the nerve being targeted and your response.

Think of Your Nerves Like Electrical Wires

Your nerves constantly carry information between your brain, spinal cord, and the rest of your body.

When those signals become irritated or abnormal, you may experience:

Burning • Tingling • Numbness • Shooting Pain • Hypersensitivity • Weakness • “Pins & Needles”

STIMPOD provides targeted stimulation intended to influence those nerve signals.

Rather than simply asking:

“Where does it hurt?”

STIMPOD allows us to also consider:

“Which nerves may be contributing to the problem?”

PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

Burning, Tingling or Numbness in the Feet & Hands

One of the areas we're most excited about using STIMPOD for is peripheral neuropathy.

Neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged or dysfunctional.

People frequently describe neuropathy as:

• Burning feet
  • Tingling or “pins and needles”
  • Numbness in the toes or fingers
  • Electrical or shooting sensations
  • Increased sensitivity to touch
  • Feet that feel unusually hot or cold
  • Feeling as though you're walking on something even when nothing is there
  • Symptoms that become worse at night

Neuropathy can have many different causes, which is why proper evaluation is important.

With STIMPOD, we can target peripheral nerves and provide non-invasive neuromodulation as part of a comprehensive approach to neuropathy symptoms.

Our Goal

We aren't simply trying to temporarily cover up the burning or tingling.

Our goal is to determine what may be contributing to your symptoms and use STIMPOD, when appropriate, to help reduce abnormal nerve-related pain and improve function and quality of life.

MIGRAINES & HEADACHES

When the Nervous System Plays a Role

Migraines are much more than “just a headache.”

For some people they can involve throbbing pain, sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, visual disturbances, neck discomfort, and other neurological symptoms.

Because certain headache and migraine patterns involve the nervous system, targeted neuromodulation may be considered as part of a broader treatment approach.

Depending on your presentation, STIMPOD may be used to stimulate specific peripheral nerves associated with the painful region.

Every headache is different, however, and new, severe, unusual, or changing headaches should be appropriately evaluated before treatment.

SCIATICA & NERVE PAIN

Addressing the Nerve Component of Your Pain

Sciatica commonly causes pain that travels from the lower back or buttock into the leg.

You might experience:

• Sharp or shooting pain
  • Burning
  • Tingling
  • Numbness
  • Electrical sensations
  • Pain traveling down the thigh or leg

Because sciatica involves irritation of neural structures, STIMPOD gives us another tool for addressing the nerve-related component of the symptoms.

Depending on the cause of your sciatica, we may combine STIMPOD with other treatments available in our office, such as chiropractic care or spinal decompression.

The key is determining why the nerve is irritated in the first place.

VAGUS NERVE & AUTONOMIC NERVE STIMULATION

The vagus nerve is one of the body's most important cranial nerves and plays a major role in the autonomic nervous system—the system responsible for many functions that happen automatically throughout your body.

There is growing scientific and clinical interest in how neuromodulation of peripheral nerves may influence nervous-system activity.

When clinically appropriate, STIMPOD can be used as part of a neuromodulation approach involving accessible peripheral nerve targets.

It is important to understand that STIMPOD NMS460 should not be confused with an implanted vagus nerve stimulator or a device specifically cleared to treat medical conditions through vagus nerve stimulation.

We'll determine whether this type of treatment is appropriate based on your individual health history and goals.

What Else Can STIMPOD Be Used For?

Because STIMPOD targets nerves and nerve-related pain, its potential clinical applications extend beyond just one condition.

Depending on the individual patient and the cause of the symptoms, STIMPOD may be considered for certain types of:

• Peripheral neuropathy
  • Nerve-related hand and foot symptoms
  • Sciatic nerve pain
  • Migraine and headache patterns
  • Neuralgia and nerve pain
  • Chronic pain
  • Post-injury nerve irritation
  • Certain neck and back pain patterns
  • Radiating arm or leg symptoms
  • Nerve hypersensitivity
  • Other peripheral nerve-related conditions

An evaluation helps us determine whether your symptoms are appropriate for treatment.

---

What Does STIMPOD Treatment Feel Like?

Treatment is non-surgical and minimally invasive to non-invasive depending on the technique being used.

Most patients feel a tapping, tingling, pulsing, or mild muscle response as the nerve is stimulated.

Because STIMPOD allows the clinician to precisely adjust the stimulation, treatment can be customized based on the nerve being targeted and your comfort level.

There are no surgical incisions and treatment can generally be performed right in our office.

Why We're Excited About STIMPOD

Pain isn't always just a muscle problem.

It isn't always just a joint problem either.

Sometimes the nerve itself is an important part of the problem.

STIMPOD gives us another way to address that component.

At Manchester Family Chiropractic Center, our goal isn't to use the same treatment for everyone. We want to identify what's contributing to your symptoms and select the therapies that make the most sense for you.

For some patients, that may mean STIMPOD alone.

For others, STIMPOD may be combined with chiropractic care, SoftWave Therapy, spinal decompression, knee decompression, red light therapy, nutritional support, or other therapies as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Could STIMPOD Help You?

If you're struggling with neuropathy, burning or tingling in your hands or feet, sciatica, migraines, nerve pain, or another nerve-related condition, the first step is finding out what's causing your symptoms.

We'll evaluate your condition and determine whether STIMPOD NMS460 therapy may be appropriate for you.

Don't Just Chase the Pain. Look at the Nerve.
