Neuropathic Pain Recovery Program 

 Education • Movement • Medication Awareness • Weekly tPRF Neuromodulation

1. Understanding Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain happens when nerves become irritated, compressed, or overly sensitive. This can come from conditions such as diabetes, inflammation, mechanical pressure (like sciatica), or changes in how the brain interprets signals.
Common symptoms include burning, tingling, numbness, shooting pain, or sensitivity to touch.
2. tPRF Neuromodulation (STIMPOD)

Transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency (tPRF) is a non‑invasive treatment that aims to calm overactive nerves and support healthier nerve signalling.
Early clinical studies show that many people experience 40–70% symptom reduction after a short treatment series.

Initial phase:
Three sessions are used to see whether the person responds.

Ongoing plan:
Weekly sessions help maintain improvements while other parts of the program support long‑term recovery.

The goal is to reduce nerve irritation, improve comfort, and support better movement.

3. Stretching, Strengthening & Movement

Movement is essential for nerve health. Gentle, progressive exercises help nerves glide smoothly, improve blood flow, and reduce mechanical irritation.

• Stretching reduces tension in muscles that may irritate nerves (e.g., hamstrings, hip flexors, calves, Plantar fascia).

• Strengthening builds stability in the core, hips, and legs to reduce strain on irritated nerves.

• Neural mobility drills encourage healthy nerve movement through surrounding tissues.

4. Medication Awareness

Medications used for nerve pain work by calming nerve activity or reducing sensitivity in the nervous system. Some medicines may complement tPRF, while a few can reduce the nerve’s ability to respond to treatment, especially those that strongly block nerve conduction.

General points to be aware of:

• Some medications help reduce nerve sensitivity and may work well alongside tPRF.

• A small number of medications that strongly block nerve signals may dampen the therapeutic effect of tPRF.

• Any medication decisions should be made with a qualified healthcare professional.

5. Lifestyle & Daily Habits

Daily routines play a major role in nerve health. Helpful strategies include:

• Improving sleep quality

• Managing blood sugar in metabolic conditions

• Choosing footwear that reduces pressure on sensitive nerves

• Staying active with pacing to avoid flare‑ups

• Reducing stress to calm the nervous system

6. Program Goals

This integrated approach is designed to:

• Support healthier nerve function

• Reduce pain, tingling, and sensitivity

• Improve mobility and confidence

• Build long‑term habits that protect nerve health

• Shift the person’s relationship with pain toward understanding and control

By combining education, movement, medication awareness, and weekly tPRF neuromodulation, many people experience improved comfort, function, and quality of life.
