Scrambler Therapy is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared technology designed for the treatment of chronic and neuropathic pain. Unlike conventional pain management approaches, Scrambler Therapy delivers non-pain electrical signals through the skin to the nervous system, effectively “retraining” the brain to reinterpret nerve activity. These artificial non-pain messages replace chronic pain signals, helping restore normal communication pathways within the nervous system. This innovative treatment has demonstrated success in addressing conditions such as post-surgical pain, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), post-herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathy, and other difficult-to-treat pain syndromes.
1. What is Scrambler Therapy?
Scrambler Therapy is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared treatment for chronic and neuropathic pain. It uses gentle electrical signals delivered through the skin to “retrain” the brain’s perception of pain. These artificial “non-pain” signals replace the chronic pain messages that your nervous system has been sending, helping restore normal communication patterns in the brain.
2. How does Scrambler Therapy work?
During a treatment session, small electrode pads are placed on the skin near the site of pain. A specialized device sends low-level electrical impulses designed to mimic normal nerve communication. These signals override the chronic pain messages, teaching your brain to interpret the area as pain-free.
3. Is Scrambler Therapy painful?
No. Treatments are comfortable and non-invasive. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or relaxing vibration—never painful.
4. What conditions can Scrambler Therapy treat?
Scrambler Therapy is particularly effective for nerve-related pain, including:
5. How many sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from 10 to 15 sessions, typically performed over a 2- to 3-week period. Each session lasts about 30 to 50 minutes.
6. Are the results long-lasting?
Many patients experience significant and lasting relief, although results vary. Some patients may require occasional booster sessions to maintain pain relief.
7. What are the benefits of Scrambler Therapy?
8. Is Scrambler Therapy right for me?
If you suffer from chronic nerve pain and have not found relief through traditional treatments, Scrambler Therapy may be a great option. A consultation can help determine whether you’re a good candidate.

Extracorporeal or Focal Shockwave Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that accelerates healing and tissue regeneration in bones, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek care—and in many cases, the problem starts with the lumbar discs. These discs act like cushions between the vertebrae in your spine, absorbing shock and allowing movement. When they become injured, bulge, or herniate, they can press on nearby nerves and cause pain, […]
