Nerve Pain Relief

How Stimpod tPRF Therapy Works
Non‑invasive Nerve Restoration for Sciatica, Neuropathy, Foot drop, Numbness

Stimpod therapy uses Transcutaneous Pulsed Radiofrequency (tPRF) to stimulate and
repair dysfunctional nerves, reaching the peripheral nerves and travelling along the axon toward both the spinal dorsal root ganglion and the nerve endings.

Why It Helps
Sciatica and neuropathic symptoms occur when the sciatic nerve or its branches become irritated, compressed, or metabolically impaired.
This can lead to:
Burning or electrical pain
Pins and needles
Reduced sensation
Muscle weakness
Foot drop
Pain travelling into the calf or foot
Symptoms after injury or surgery
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy

tPRF therapy targets the root cause, the dysfunctional nerve itself, rather than only masking symptoms.

Who Can Benefit ( non‑invasive, drug‑free, and has no known side effects)

tPRF therapy is used for:

• Sciatica and radiculopathy

• Peripheral neuropathy (including diabetic neuropathy)

• Foot drop due to nerve irritation

• Numbness, tingling, burning sensations

• Post‑surgical nerve irritation

• Trigeminal neuralgia, Bell’s palsy

• Chronic nerve pain and hypersensitivity

Not Suitable (Contraindications):

• People with implanted electronic devices
  (pacemakers, ICDs, spinal cord stimulators, deep brain stimulators, implanted pumps)

• Pregnant individuals

• People with active cancer in the treatment area

• Individuals with uncontrolled epilepsy or seizure disorders

These short bursts of radiofrequency energy help:

• Recharge mitochondria inside damaged nerves

• Reverse micro‑structural changes associated with neuropathy

• Restore normal nerve communication

• Reduce abnormal pain signalling

• Improve muscle activation and sensory function

What happens during assessment

• Medical and symptom history

• Neurological screening

• Muscle strength assessment

• Sensory testing

• Reflex or functional testing where within scope

• Gait assessment

• Footwear assessment

• Referral when the findings suggest spinal or systemic causes
  
  Some patients require assessment by a neurologist, pain specialist or spinal specialist. 

How many sessions are needed for tPRF therapy?
Most patients require 3–5 sessions to achieve noticeable therapeutic benefits, although the exact number may vary depending on the severity of the condition.
Each session lasts 15–30 minutes and includes patient education and an individualized exercise program.
