What is a Nerve Stimulator?

The nerve stimulator our office uses is a handheld device that delivers targeted pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) electromagnetic waveforms through a probe placed on the skin. This gentle stimulation travels through the skin and along nerve pathways to help recharge cellular energy and restore healthy nerve communication.
Unlike many traditional pain treatments that mask symptoms, the nerve stimulator works at the source of the problem, the affected nerve itself, to promote metabolic restoration and functional recovery.
How the Nerve Stimulator Works
Here’s a step-by-step look at how this innovative therapy supports your body:
Probe Placement: A team member applies the stimulation probe to the skin near the nerve associated with your pain.
Stimulation of Peripheral Nerves: The device emits an electromagnetic waveform that travels along the nerve’s axon toward the spinal cord and back.
Cellular Recharge: This waveform interacts with nerve mitochondria, replenishing cellular energy and helping resolve the nerve’s metabolic “energy crisis” — a key factor in many chronic pain conditions.
Restored Function: As nerve cells regain normal metabolic function, nerve signaling becomes balanced again — often resulting in reduced pain and improved mobility.
What Conditions can It Help?
The nerve stimulator is versatile and has shown promise in treating a wide range of painful and neurologically related conditions, such as:
Chronic neuropathic pain
Sciatica and radiculopathy
Peripheral neuropathy
Post-surgical and post-trauma pain
Tendonitis with nerve involvement
Radial and ulnar nerve irritation
Chronic migraines and neuralgia
It's often used as an adjunctive therapy, meaning it complements chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and functional medicine approaches to deliver more comprehensive pain relief.
