Understanding Nerve Pain

Nerves act as the communication network of the body.

They allow messages to travel between the brain, spinal cord, muscles, joints, skin, and organs.

When a nerve becomes irritated, compressed, injured, or dysfunctional, the messages traveling through that nerve can become disrupted.

This may result in symptoms such as:

• Burning pain

• Tingling sensations

• Numbness

• Pins and needles

• Electrical sensations

• Muscle weakness

• Reduced sensation

• Radiating arm pain

• Radiating leg pain

• Increased sensitivity

Unlike many musculoskeletal conditions, nerve-related symptoms often persist long after the original injury has occurred.

For some individuals, symptoms may remain present for months or even years.

Conditions Commonly Treated with Stimpod Therapy

Radiculopathy & Sciatica

Radiculopathy is one of the most common reasons patients seek Stimpod Therapy. These conditions occur when nerves become irritated or compressed as they exit the spine.

Symptoms may include:

• Radiating arm pain

• Radiating leg pain

• Sciatica

• Numbness

• Tingling

• Weakness

• Burning sensations

Many patients experiencing cervical or lumbar radiculopathy find traditional treatments provide only partial relief.

Stimpod therapy may be incorporated into a broader treatment plan to support nerve recovery and improve function.

Post-Surgical Nerve Pain

Even when surgery is successful, some individuals continue to experience lingering nerve symptoms.

These may include:

• Persistent numbness

• Burning sensations

• Hypersensitivity

• Tingling

• Ongoing discomfort

Stimpod therapy is frequently used to help support recovery in cases where nerve irritation remains after surgical intervention.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome can significantly affect daily activities, work performance, and quality of life.

Common symptoms include:

• Hand numbness

• Tingling

• Burning sensations

• Grip weakness

• Night-time discomfort

Stimpod therapy may be used as part of a comprehensive treatment approach aimed at supporting nerve function and reducing symptoms.

Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy may develop for a variety of reasons and often presents as:

• Burning sensations

• Numbness

• Reduced sensation

• Tingling

• Balance concerns

Many individuals seek treatment because symptoms interfere with daily activities and comfort.

Bell’s Palsy & Facial Nerve Dysfunction

Facial nerve irritation may affect:

• Facial movement

• Muscle control

• Sensation

Stimpod therapy may be incorporated into treatment plans designed to support facial nerve recovery.

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia can produce severe facial pain and sensitivity.

Treatment plans are always individualized based on the patient’s presentation and goals.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

CRPS is a complex condition involving persistent pain and nervous system dysfunction.

Stimpod may be considered as part of a multidisciplinary treatment approach.

Concussion & Whiplash Recovery

Some patients experience persistent nerve-related symptoms following:

• Motor vehicle accidents

• Concussions

• Whiplash injuries

Stimpod therapy may be utilized when nerve dysfunction is contributing to ongoing symptoms.

Stimpod Therapy for First Responders

Mountain Ridge Wellness works with many RCMP officers and first responders throughout Maple Ridge and the surrounding communities.

The demands of policing can place significant stress on the nervous system and musculoskeletal system.

Common challenges include:

• Prolonged vehicle sitting

• Equipment-related strain

• Repetitive loading

• Duty belt compression

• Chronic spinal irritation

• Neck and back injuries

Stimpod therapy is frequently incorporated into treatment plans when nerve-related symptoms develop as a result of these occupational demands.

What Results Can Patients Expect?

Every patient responds differently.

The severity of the condition, duration of symptoms, overall health, and underlying cause all influence outcomes.

Many patients report improvements such as:

• Reduced pain

• Less burning

• Reduced tingling

• Improved sensation

• Better function

• Improved comfort during daily activities

Some individuals notice changes after a single treatment, while others require a more structured treatment plan.

What To Expect During Treatment

Stimpod therapy is non-invasive and generally well tolerated.

Most sessions take approximately 5–10 minutes.

Many patients receive Stimpod as part of a chiropractic appointment, while others follow a treatment plan focused primarily on nerve recovery.

Initial treatment recommendations often involve:

• 2–3 visits per week

• For approximately 2–3 weeks

Regular reassessments are performed to evaluate progress and adjust treatment recommendations.

Depending on the condition and severity, some patients may require only a few treatments, while others benefit from 6–12 treatments or longer-term care.

A Collaborative Approach to Recovery

At Mountain Ridge Wellness, Stimpod therapy is rarely used in isolation.

Many patients benefit from combining Stimpod with:

• Chiropractic Care

• Laser Therapy

• Shockwave Therapy

• Rehabilitation Exercises

• Recovery Room Sessions

• Acupuncture

• Massage Therapy

This allows us to address both the nerve dysfunction and the broader movement patterns contributing to symptoms.
