What Is Peripheral Nerve Stimulation?
When pain lingers, interrupting work, sleep, and daily life, the care team at DFW Sports Medicine offers advanced solutions, like peripheral nerve stimulation, to help patients regain control. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS therapy) is a minimally invasive nerve therapy designed to reduce pain by targeting specific nerves outside the spinal cord. This treatment uses a small nerve stimulation device to send controlled electrical pulses that interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. PNS is different from spinal cord stimulation because it focuses on individual peripheral nerves, not the spinal cord itself. It is often used for more localized pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. PNS may be an option for people dealing with long-term pain in the back, shoulder, leg, or after surgery or trauma. Schedule a consultation at our McKinney, Frisco, or Lewisville, TX practice to learn how PNS therapy can fit into your chronic pain treatment plan.
What Should I Expect from Peripheral Nerve Stimulation?
Patients at DFW Sports Medicine receive complete, focused care throughout the peripheral nerve stimulation process. We start with a detailed evaluation to see if PNS is right for your needs. If appropriate, a trial procedure helps determine how well the therapy relieves your pain. Dr. Rathna Nuti uses the NALU Neurostimulation System, a small, battery-free implant that delivers electrical nerve stimulation through an external wearable. The device is placed under the skin in a quick outpatient procedure using image-guided tools. The process is simple and does not require major surgery. After placement, the external unit powers the implant to activate targeted nerves. You can adjust settings based on your comfort level and pain response. Dr. Nuti monitors your progress and adjusts the treatment as needed. This nonsurgical treatment for nerve-related pain gives you more freedom and fewer side effects than many other pain treatments.
