Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is an innovative treatment option for patients suffering from chronic foot and ankle pain, particularly nerve-related conditions. This minimally invasive therapy uses mild electrical impulses to stimulate targeted nerves, reducing pain signals and promoting comfort.
Chronic nerve pain in the foot or ankle can result from injuries, neuropathy, or post-surgical complications. Traditional treatments such as medications or injections may provide only temporary relief. PNS offers a non-drug, long-term alternative that addresses pain at its source.
The procedure involves placing a small device near the affected nerves. Once activated, the device sends gentle electrical pulses that interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. Patients often describe the sensation as soothing rather than painful.
Peripheral nerve stimulation can be life-changing for patients with conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, or nerve injuries. Many patients experience significant improvements in mobility, sleep, and overall quality of life.
At In Motion Foot and Ankle, we are proud to provide this advanced therapy as part of our comprehensive pain management services, giving patients access to cutting-edge care without the risks of opioid medications or major surgery.
