Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS) represents a forward-thinking approach to pain relief, distinct in its utilization of electromagnetic technology to directly influence nerve activity. Designed to intervene in the transmission of pain signals at a neural level, mPNS provides targeted stimulation to specific nerve groups implicated in chronic pain syndromes. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients who have exhausted conventional treatment modalities without sufficient relief.
The procedure is non-invasive, involving the placement of devices near the skin’s surface, where they emit controlled magnetic pulses. These pulses induce mild electrical currents in the underlying nerves, potentially resetting abnormal pain signals. The process not only aims to alleviate pain but also to restore normal sensation and function in the affected areas. mPNS is gaining traction among pain management specialists due to its ability to provide pain control without the complications associated with drugs or more invasive interventions.
Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS) works by utilizing magnetic fields to non-invasively stimulate the nerves that are responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain. The treatment involves the placement of a device over the targeted area, where it generates brief pulses of magnetic energy. These pulses induce small electrical currents in the underlying nerves, which can help reset the neural mechanisms that modulate pain perception. By adjusting the frequency, intensity, and duration of these pulses, practitioners can tailor the treatment to the specific needs of each patient, targeting the precise nerve pathways involved in their pain.
For patients undergoing mPNS treatment, the process is generally comfortable and free from significant discomfort. The sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific condition being treated and the treatment protocol being followed. Patients may feel a tapping, muscle twitching or tingling sensation during the session but should experience no pain. Most treatment plans require multiple sessions over a period of weeks to achieve the best results. Post-treatment, patients can usually return to their normal activities immediately, with no downtime required. Over time, patients often report a gradual reduction in pain and an improvement in function and quality of life, as the cumulative effects of the therapy begin to manifest.
During your initial consultation, you will meet with one of our experienced clinicians who specializes in mPNS treatments. This session is designed to understand your specific pain conditions, medical history, and treatment goals. Our clinician will explain the mPNS procedure, answer any questions you might have, and ensure you are comfortable and informed about the upcoming steps.
Your first mPNS session will involve a comprehensive assessment to determine the optimal stimulation parameters tailored to your needs. The clinician will apply magnetic pulses to targeted areas, carefully monitoring your response to ensure effectiveness and comfort. This initial session is crucial for setting the foundation of your personalized treatment plan.
Based on the initial assessment and your unique needs, our clinician will design a personalized mPNS treatment program. This program will outline the frequency and duration of sessions, along with any complementary therapies that may enhance your results. Regular follow-ups will ensure the treatment is adjusted as needed to maximize its effectiveness.
Throughout your mPNS treatment journey, you will have ongoing support from your clinician and our dedicated community resources. Regular check-ins and access to support groups provide a network of encouragement and shared experiences. Our holistic approach ensures that you are supported not just physically, but emotionally and socially as well.
Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS) is a non-invasive therapy that uses magnetic fields to stimulate peripheral nerves. The treatment involves placing a magnetic coil near the targeted area of the body, generating magnetic pulses that activate the nerves. This stimulation can modulate pain signals and improve nerve function, providing relief for various chronic pain conditions and promoting healing.
mPNS can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain syndromes, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), and myofascial pain syndrome. It is also used for migraines, headaches, and other nerve-related pain conditions. Research continues to explore the full range of conditions that may benefit from mPNS therapy.
mPNS treatment is generally not painful. Most patients experience a mild tingling or tapping sensation at the treatment site during the therapy. This sensation is usually well-tolerated and does not cause significant discomfort. The non-invasive nature of mPNS makes it a preferable option for patients seeking pain relief without the need for surgery or injections.
The number of mPNS sessions required can vary depending on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. Typically, a series of sessions is recommended, with patients often receiving treatment 2-3 times per week over several weeks. Many patients begin to notice improvements within the first few sessions, but a full course of treatment may be necessary for optimal results.
mPNS therapy is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. The most common side effects include mild discomfort or tingling at the treatment site, which usually subsides shortly after the session. Rarely, some patients may experience temporary muscle twitching or mild headaches. Serious side effects are uncommon, making mPNS a safe option for many patients.
The duration of the effects of mPNS can vary depending on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. Some patients experience long-lasting relief from their symptoms, while others may require ongoing maintenance sessions to sustain the benefits. The initial relief may last for weeks to months, and periodic follow-up treatments can help maintain symptom control.
Coverage for mPNS therapy can vary based on the specific health insurance plan and the condition being treated. Many insurance plans may cover mPNS for certain conditions, especially if it is deemed medically necessary and other treatments have not been effective. It is important to check with your insurance provider to understand the specifics of your coverage. Your treatment provider can also assist with insurance verification and discuss any potential out-of-pocket costs.
