If you or someone you care about has been dealing with the frustrating effects of neuropathy—burning, tingling, numbness, or discomfort in the hands or feet—you’re not alone. Neuropathy is a condition that affects millions of people across the U.S., especially as we age or live with conditions like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or past injuries.
For many, it feels like there are only two options: medication or acceptance. But what if there was another way? A non-invasive, drug-free treatment that actually targets the source of nerve irritation and helps your body restore nerve communication?
At South Jersey Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine, we believe in empowering our patients with effective, forward-thinking solutions—and Stimpod therapy is one of the most promising tools we’ve seen for helping people take control of their nerve health.
What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a general term for nerve dysfunction that typically affects the peripheral nerves—those outside the brain and spinal cord. It’s often called peripheral neuropathy and can involve a wide range of symptoms, including:
- Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or legs
- Burning or shooting pain
- Sensitivity to touch or temperature
- Muscle weakness
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
- Feeling like you’re wearing socks or gloves even when you’re not
While neuropathy is often associated with diabetes, it can also be caused by:
- Nerve compression (like sciatica or carpal tunnel)
- Chemotherapy or radiation treatments
- Autoimmune conditions
- Vitamin deficiencies (especially B12)
- Chronic alcohol use
- Infections or traumatic injuries
Whatever the cause, neuropathy can be life-limiting. It interferes with sleep, independence, mobility, and peace of mind. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Traditional Treatments: Helpful or Holding You Back?
Many people diagnosed with neuropathy are told to manage their condition with medications like gabapentin, pregabalin (Lyrica), or antidepressants. While these may reduce discomfort temporarily, they often come with side effects, such as drowsiness, brain fog, and dependency. Even worse, they don’t actually heal the nerves or restore function—they just try to quiet the signals.
Surgery or injections are sometimes recommended when neuropathy stems from structural issues, but they carry risks and often don’t guarantee long-term success.
What’s missing from most traditional care is a focus on restoring the actual nerve communication system—and that’s exactly where Stimpod comes in.
Introducing Stimpod Therapy: A Breakthrough in Nerve Health
Stimpod NMS460 is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared device designed to stimulate and regenerate damaged nerves using pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) therapy. Unlike treatments that simply mask symptoms, Stimpod goes after the root cause: impaired nerve signaling.
Here’s how it works:
- The Stimpod device emits electromagnetic pulses directly over the affected nerves.
- These pulses help reset faulty nerve pathways, improve conductivity, and reduce inflammation.
- It stimulates Schwann cells, which are essential for nerve healing and myelin regeneration (the protective layer around nerves).
- Treatments are painless, non-invasive, and typically last 15–20 minutes.
Best of all? Most people begin to feel relief within the first few sessions—without drugs, needles, or downtime.
How Does Stimpod Feel?
Patients often describe Stimpod therapy as a gentle tapping or tingling sensation over the skin. It’s not uncomfortable—in fact, many find it soothing.
Our trained clinicians guide the session, moving the applicator over the skin to locate nerve pathways and deliver the optimal signal. Most patients relax during treatment and are able to return to their day immediately afterward.
5 Key Benefits of Stimpod for Neuropathy
Let’s break down why Stimpod is a game-changer for people struggling with nerve discomfort:
1. Drug-Free and Non-Invasive
Stimpod doesn’t involve medication, injections, or surgery. That means no side effects, no risk of dependency, and no recovery time. It’s an ideal solution for those who want to treat their condition naturally and holistically.
2. Targets the Root Cause
Instead of dulling the pain, Stimpod helps restore nerve communication, reduces inflammation, and supports the natural regeneration process. You’re not just covering up the problem—you’re encouraging your body to repair it.
3. Fast-Acting Relief
Some patients report improvement in mobility, sensation, or pain levels after just 1–2 sessions. With consistent use, many experience lasting relief and return to daily activities with more confidence.
4. Improves Function and Sensation
Stimpod doesn’t just help with discomfort—it can actually help improve balance, mobility, and daily functioning by restoring nerve signals to the muscles. That means less fear of falling, better stability, and a more active lifestyle.
5. Works Alongside Physical Therapy
At South Jersey Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine, we combine Stimpod therapy with personalized exercises and guidance to maximize your progress. The result? A complete care plan that’s designed around you, your goals, and your long-term health.
Real People, Real Results
One of our patients, Tracy, came to us with long-standing nerve discomfort that affected her balance and sleep. She had tried medications and stretches but wasn’t getting the results she hoped for. After just a few sessions with Stimpod, she began to feel sensation returning in her feet—and her walking improved.
With ongoing support, she now moves more freely and confidently, and she’s cut back on pain meds entirely.
Stories like this are what motivate us to bring the best natural options to our community.
