Stimpod NMS460

Stimpod NMS460: Advanced Non-Invasive Nerve Pain Treatment in Alberta

What Is the Stimpod NMS460?

The Stimpod NMS460, developed by Algiamed Technologies, is a cutting-edge, non-invasive device designed to treat nerve pain, neuropathy, and neurological dysfunction. Using a combination of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and low-frequency electrical currents, the Stimpod locates and stimulates nerves through the skin—helping reduce pain and promote healing.

Think of it as a gentle electrical nudge that helps your nerves reset and recover.

How Stimpod Therapy Works

The Stimpod delivers a hybrid waveform that includes:

Low-frequency current: Locates nerves through the skin
Radiofrequency (100–500 kHz): Generates a non-thermal electromagnetic field

This electromagnetic field travels along the nerve to the spinal cord, triggering a metabolic cascade that influences gene expression markers linked to inflammation and nerve regeneration. Clinical studies show these markers remain elevated for up to 14 days, with effects lasting weeks to months.

Benefits of Stimpod Nerve Stimulation

Fast onset of pain relief
Long-term reduction in chronic symptoms
No side effects or invasive procedures
Restores natural nerve function
Backed by clinical research

What to Expect During Your Stimpod Treatment

Initial Consultation: Your practitioner will assess your symptoms and determine if Stimpod therapy is right for you.
Treatment Setup:
- You’ll be comfortably positioned
- A ground electrode is placed away from the treatment site
- Ultrasound gel is applied to a pen-shaped probe
Nerve Targeting:
- The probe delivers current through the skin
- Muscle twitching or sensory pulses confirm accurate nerve targeting
Therapy Session:

Stimulation is adjusted to a comfortable level
Sessions last 5–10 minutes
Mild soreness may occur as nerves begin healing

Most patients experience noticeable relief after a few sessions, with cumulative benefits over time.

Nope

As your injury will be assessed by and overseen by a registered physical therapist at our facility, the procedure is considered physical therapy and should therefore be covered by third party physical therapy insurance coverage.

Bell’s Palsy is a condition that causes sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of the face. This means that the muscles on one side of your face don’t work as well as they should, making it hard to smile or close your eye on that side.

What Causes Bell’s Palsy?

Bell’s Palsy happens when a nerve in your face gets swollen or inflamed. This nerve controls the muscles of your face, and when it doesn’t work properly, it can cause your face to droop. The exact cause is not always known, but it can sometimes happen after a viral infection, like a cold or the flu.

Symptoms of Bell’s Palsy:

Sudden weakness or drooping on one side of the face.
Trouble closing one eye.
Drooling or difficulty eating.
Loss of taste on the front two-thirds of the tongue.
Increased sensitivity to sound in one ear.

What is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy is a condition that affects your nerves. Nerves are like tiny wires in your body that help you feel things and move your muscles. When these nerves get damaged, it can cause pain, tingling, and numbness, especially in your hands and feet.

What Causes Neuropathy?

There are many things that can cause neuropathy, including:

Diabetes: High blood sugar can damage nerves over time.
Injuries: Injuries from accidents can harm nerves.
Infections: Some infections can lead to nerve damage.
Toxins: Exposure to harmful chemicals can hurt nerves.
Genetics: Sometimes neuropathy can run in families.

Symptoms of Neuropathy:

Pain: You might feel sharp or burning pain.
Tingling: It can feel like pins and needles in your skin.
Numbness: Parts of your body might feel numb or less sensitive.
Weakness: Your muscles might feel weak or hard to move.
