Stimpod Therapy
At The Body Diagnostic, we understand how frustrating it is to feel limited by discomfort, weakness, or stiffness – especially when it holds you back from doing what you enjoy. That’s why we’re proud to offer Stimpod Therapy, an advanced treatment that combines two proven techniques – neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) – to support faster, drug-free recovery.
What Is Stimpod Therapy?
Stimpod Therapy is a modern form of electrotherapy designed to relieve pain, improve circulation, and stimulate muscle recovery. Unlike standard TENS machines, Stimpod doesn’t just mask discomfort – it also works beneath the surface to help restore muscle strength and function by combining TENS with NMES.
It’s a non-invasive and medication-free treatment that uses gentle electrical pulses to reset nerve signals, encourage healing, and strengthen weakened muscles – all without downtime.
How does it Work?
Stimpod therapy involves placing small electrodes on the skin to deliver targeted electrical stimulation in two ways:
TENS – Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
This part of the therapy targets the nervous system to interrupt pain signals being sent to the brain. It’s particularly helpful for conditions such as arthritis, post-surgical discomfort, or long-term musculoskeletal pain. It also encourages the body to release natural endorphins – your own built-in pain relief system.
NMES – Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation
Here, the focus is on the muscles themselves. NMES stimulates gentle contractions to boost blood flow, promote healing of soft tissue, and rebuild strength—ideal for anyone recovering from surgery, injury, or periods of inactivity. Together, these two mechanisms create a powerful approach to recovery that addresses the cause of the problem—not just the symptoms.
What Are The Benefits?
Stimpod Therapy can be a game-changer for those dealing with:
- Persistent aches or pain
- Limited mobility after surgery or injury
- Muscle weakness or poor circulation
- Stiffness that affects movement and quality of life
Some of the key benefits include:
- Targeted pain relief without the need for painkillers
- Faster healing and reduced swelling
- Improved strength in weakened or deconditioned muscles
- Enhanced mobility and flexibility
- A completely natural, non-invasive approach to recovery
What Are The Benefits?
