Your practitioner will begin by discussing your symptoms to make sure the Stimpod therapy is right for you. They’ll ask focused questions to pinpoint the nerve causing the pain.

You’ll be placed in a comfortable position, and a ground electrode will be applied away from the treatment area. A pen-shaped device, with ultrasound gel, will deliver the current through your skin. The Stimpod uses a hybrid waveform. It combines a low-frequency current to locate the nerve and a radiofrequency (100-500 kHz) to create a weak, non-thermal electromagnetic field. This EM field travels along the nerve to its entry point at the spinal cord, triggering a metabolic cascade that influences gene expression markers regulating inflammation and nerve healing. These markers remain elevated for up to 14 days after treatment, with reported effects lasting weeks to months. Essentially it’s giving a gentle nudge to help your nerves heal and feel better.

The practitioner will adjust the device to find the nerve, indicated by a small muscle contraction for motor nerves or a moderate pulse for sensory nerves. Once located, the stimulation level is set for your comfort. Each treatment lasts 5 to 10 minutes. Some soreness afterward is normal as the nerve heals, but this fades quickly.

Over time, Stimpod therapy can reduce pain, enhance nerve health, and provide lasting relief. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve sustained results, making it a cutting-edge, noninvasive solution for nerve-related pain and dysfunction.
