​How StimPod Helps Ease CRPS

Are you or a loved one struggling with the life-altering pain of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)?

Have you found that conventional treatments—pain medications, nerve blocks, and surgeries—often come with side effects or limited relief?

Do you desperately want a safe, non-invasive option that can ease your nerve pain and help you reclaim your life?

If so, you are not alone. And there is hope.

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we offer an innovative treatment for CRPS that helps calm the overactive nervous system and melt away nerve pain:

StimPod pulsed radiofrequency therapy. We have seen first-hand how StimPod can help our clients living with CRPS feel better, move better, and regain function—often with NO side effects. Read on to discover how this breakthrough therapy works, how it must be applied properly for maximum benefit, and why you should consider this treatment if you are living with CRPS.

What is CRPS?

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is one of the most painful and disabling chronic pain conditions. It typically develops after an injury, surgery, stroke, or heart attack—but the pain is far out of proportion to the original event. Common symptoms of CRPS include: Severe burning, aching, or stabbing pain Hypersensitivity to touch or temperature Swelling, changes in skin color and temperature Muscle weakness and spasms Joint stiffness Loss of function in the affected limb Emotional distress and depression CRPS is thought to involve abnormal inflammation and a dysfunctional sympathetic nervous system. The pain can become "locked in," spreading and persisting for months or years. This is where StimPod therapy offers unique hope.

How StimPod Works

StimPod is an advanced, non-invasive device that delivers pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) stimulation to the nervous system. It is not a TENS unit or standard electrical stimulation. Rather, it delivers very specific radiofrequency pulses that can:

Calm overactive nerves

Reduce neuroinflammation

Restore proper nerve signaling

Promote healing of damaged nerves

Most importantly for CRPS, StimPod helps "reset" the autonomic nervous system from a hyperactive "fight or flight" state toward a more balanced "rest and digest" state. This can lead to profound relief of nerve pain and related symptoms.

Why Cymba Concha Contact is Critical

One of the most powerful ways to use StimPod is through auricular vagus nerve stimulation—stimulating the vagus nerve through its branch that innervates part of the ear.

The precise target is the cymba concha, a small anatomical region of the outer ear. Research shows that stimulation of the cymba concha can:

Activate the vagus nerve

Modulate central pain pathways

Reduce sympathetic nervous system overactivity

Promote anti-inflammatory effects

But here is the key:

​The StimPod pencil must maintain direct contact with the cymba concha for the treatment to be effective. If the pencil wand is not properly placed and held in contact with this area, the desired stimulation will not occur.

Improper placement = ineffective treatment. This is why we take great care to ensure that StimPod is applied correctly for our CRPS clients.

Who Holds the StimPod Pencil?

Depending on the client's hand dexterity and comfort, there are two options: If the client has adequate hand function and grasping ability, our Doctor of Physical Therapy may instruct them to hold the StimPod pencil at their cymba concha during treatment. We will guide placement, ensure proper contact, and monitor the treatment. If the client has dexterity challenges, tremors, weakness, or pain, the Doctor of Physical Therapy will hold the StimPod pencil for them, maintaining optimal contact with the cymba concha throughout the treatment session. Either way, maintaining continuous contact at the cymba concha is essential for the therapy to deliver its full benefits.

How StimPod Helps CRPS

Symptoms By properly stimulating the cymba concha and the vagus nerve, StimPod can:

Reduce burning and stabbing pain

Calm nerve hypersensitivity

Decrease swelling and skin temperature changes

Reduce muscle spasms and stiffness

Promote better circulation

Improve range of motion and limb function

Support emotional calm and resilience

Many clients report feeling deep relaxation and a sense of "reset" after their sessions—even when pain has been severe and persistent for months or years.

The Treatment Process

At Concierge Pain Relief, here is what you can expect: We conduct a thorough evaluation of your CRPS symptoms and history. We customize a treatment plan, which typically includes hands-on manual therapy plus StimPod therapy.

During StimPod sessions, we ensure precise and continuous contact with the cymba concha. Sessions usually last 15–20 minutes per ear (may be alternated between sides). We may also apply StimPod locally to affected limbs for additional benefit. We monitor your response and adjust the plan as needed. Our goal is always to provide you with the safest, most effective, and most personalized care possible.

Why Our Clients Choose StimPod

No side effects. Unlike medications, StimPod has no systemic side effects. Comfortable treatment. Most clients find the stimulation pleasant and relaxing. Portable and versatile. We can provide this therapy in your home, apartment, or in our Midtown Manhattan office. Supports your overall healing. By calming the nervous system and reducing pain, StimPod makes it easier for you to move, exercise, and engage in life again—key components of CRPS recovery.

Emotional Impact of CRPS

If you are living with CRPS, you know that it is more than physical pain. It can rob you of:

Sleep

Mobility

Ability to work

Enjoyment of life

Confidence

Independence

It can lead to fear, frustration, depression, and isolation. You may feel like no one understands what you are going through. You may feel trapped in your body. We understand. We are here to help. Our clients often tell us that StimPod gives them their first real sense of hope in months or years.

Ankle Surgery Rehab in Lower Manhattan, NYC: Your Path to Recovery

Recovering from ankle surgery is a journey that requires dedication, expert guidance, and personalized care.

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we understand the challenges you face and are here to support you every step of the way. Whether you're navigating the bustling streets of Lower Manhattan or prefer the comfort of your home, our tailored rehabilitation programs are designed to restore your mobility, strength, and confidence.

Understanding Ankle Anatomy and Surgical Implications

The ankle joint is a complex structure comprising bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles that work in harmony to facilitate movement and bear weight. Surgical interventions, such as open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), arthroscopy, or ligament repair, are often necessary to address fractures, chronic instability, or degenerative conditions. Post-surgical rehabilitation is crucial to restore function and prevent complications.

The Role of Hands-On Physical Therapy in Recovery

Physical therapy is integral to the healing process following ankle surgery. Our approach emphasizes manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilization and soft tissue manipulation, to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve range of motion. These interventions have been shown to enhance recovery outcomes and expedite return to daily activities.

 A study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy highlighted the benefits of manual therapy in improving ankle dorsiflexion and overall function post-surgery . Additionally, incorporating therapeutic exercises tailored to your specific needs helps rebuild strength and proprioception, reducing the risk of re-injury.

Research indicates that home-based physical therapy can be as effective as clinic-based programs, offering comparable improvements in function and patient satisfaction .

Our licensed therapists provide comprehensive assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and adjust interventions as you progress, ensuring optimal outcomes.

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Phases

1. Acute Phase (Weeks 0-2): Focus on pain management, swelling reduction, and protection of the surgical site. Initiate gentle range-of-motion exercises as tolerated. Educate on proper use of assistive devices and weight-bearing status.

2. Subacute Phase (Weeks 2-6): Progress to weight-bearing activities as permitted. Incorporate strengthening exercises targeting the ankle and surrounding musculature. Continue manual therapy to address joint stiffness and soft tissue restrictions.

3. Functional Phase (Weeks 6-12): Emphasize balance training and proprioceptive exercises. Introduce functional movements relevant to daily activities and occupational demands. Prepare for return to recreational or athletic pursuits as appropriate.

4. Maintenance Phase (Beyond 12 Weeks): Implement strategies to prevent recurrence and maintain gains achieved during rehabilitation. Encourage ongoing physical activity and adherence to home exercise programs.

Psychological and Emotional Considerations

Recovery from ankle surgery is not solely a physical endeavor; it also encompasses psychological and emotional aspects. Feelings of frustration, anxiety, or depression are common during the rehabilitation process. Our compassionate team provides support and encouragement, fostering a positive mindset that is essential for successful outcomes. Engaging in physical therapy has been associated with improved mental health, increased self-efficacy, and enhanced quality of life . By addressing both physical and emotional needs, we aim to facilitate a holistic recovery experience.

​Are you struggling with sharp, stabbing heel pain in the morning?

Does it feel like you're walking on needles every time you take your first few steps out of bed?

If you live in Upper West Side, Manhattan, and are dealing with the persistent discomfort of plantar fasciitis, know that you’re not alone.

But more importantly, know that relief is possible—and you don’t have to suffer any longer.

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, our Doctors of Physical Therapy specialize in hands-on, conservative treatments for plantar fasciitis.

We bring expert care directly to your home, ensuring you receive high-quality, one-on-one attention in the comfort of your own space.

What Causes Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that runs along the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed or irritated. 


This often results from excessive stress on the fascia, improper footwear, or biomechanical imbalances in the foot and lower leg.

Some common contributing factors include:

- Overuse from prolonged standing or walking

- Flat feet or high arches

- Tight calf muscles

- Unsupportive shoes

- Sudden increases in physical activity

Conservative Care for Lasting Pain Relief

Our approach to treating plantar fasciitis is rooted in conservative, non-invasive methods designed to heal the fascia, relieve pain, and restore proper foot mechanics.

We utilize hands-on manual therapy techniques, including:

1. Soft Tissue Treatment

Our skilled Doctors of Physical Therapy apply deep tissue massage and other soft tissue mobilization techniques to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation, which speeds up healing in the plantar fascia.

2. Myofascial Release

By targeting trigger points and adhesions within the fascia, myofascial release can help break up tight, restricted areas that may be contributing to your foot pain.

3. Trigger Point Release

Tightness in the calf muscles and surrounding soft tissues can place extra strain on the plantar fascia.

Our therapists perform targeted trigger point release to alleviate these muscular knots and restore proper foot function.

Advanced Treatment Options for Enhanced Recovery

In addition to manual therapy, we incorporate innovative treatments that can accelerate healing and provide lasting relief.

1. StimPod Therapy for Heel & Foot Pain Relief

The StimPod device uses pulsed radiofrequency stimulation to reduce nerve pain, improve circulation, and promote tissue repair. Many of our patients report significant pain relief after just a few sessions.

2. Kinesiotape for Support & Pain Relief

Kinesiotape is an excellent adjunct treatment that helps offload stress from the plantar fascia while providing gentle support to the foot’s arch.

This reduces strain and enhances comfort during daily activities.

Plantar fasciitis is a common condition among older adults, but it’s also highly treatable.

Our specialized home-based physical therapy services in Chelsea are designed to help you stay in control of your health and maintain your functional independence.

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel to your toes.

Common symptoms include:

Heel Pain: Typically worse in the morning or after long periods of rest.

Stiffness and Tightness: Difficulty flexing your foot or walking long distances.

Arch Pain: Pain that radiates from the heel into the arch of your foot. Without proper treatment, plantar fasciitis can lead to changes in gait (how you walk), which may increase your risk of falls and other injuries.

How We Evaluate and Treat Plantar Fasciitis

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we take a comprehensive approach to evaluating and treating plantar fasciitis. Our process includes:

1. Detailed Assessment We start with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms and movement patterns. This helps us identify the root cause of your pain and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Key areas of focus include:

Foot and Ankle Mobility: Is your foot’s range of motion limited?

Balance and Gait Analysis: Are you compensating for the pain by walking differently?

Posture and Alignment: Poor posture can contribute to chronic foot pain.

2. Hands-On Manual Therapy Our therapists use advanced hands-on techniques to release tension in the plantar fascia, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. These techniques target the underlying causes of pain, providing immediate relief while promoting long-term healing.

3. Strengthening and Stretching Exercises We guide you through targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles in your feet and lower legs. This helps reduce strain on the plantar fascia and prevent future flare-ups. Stretching exercises also help improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.

4. Balance and Fall Prevention Training Foot pain can significantly impact your balance, increasing your risk of falls. Our balance retraining programs are designed to enhance your stability, reaction time, and overall confidence.

5. Functional Independence and Longevity Programs Our goal is to help you stay active and maintain your independence. We develop customized programs that focus on improving your mobility, strength, and endurance—so you can keep doing the things you love.

Why Home-Based Physical Therapy? If you’re living with plantar fasciitis, the idea of traveling to a physical therapy clinic may feel overwhelming. That’s why we bring physical therapy to you.

Fascia Treatment and Pain Relief: Unveiling the 10 Essentials You Need to Know About Your Fascia

"The Permanent Pain Cure"

The human body, a marvel of interconnected systems, houses a fascinating element crucial to its structural integrity and function—fascia. Often overlooked, fascia is a seamless web of tissue that intricately connects every part of our body.

In this in-depth exploration, we'll unravel the mysteries of fascia, delving into its composition, functions, and the transformative power of fascia treatment in providing relief from pain. Here are the ten essential things you need to know about your fascia:

1. Seamless Web Connecting the Entire Body: Fascia is not just an isolated component; it forms a comprehensive network that interconnects every muscle, organ, and structure in the body. This seamless web contributes to the body's integrity, offering support and facilitating movement.

2. Composition of Water, Carbohydrates, and Proteins: Comprising water, carbohydrates, and proteins—specifically proteoglycans—fascia is a dynamic structure. This composition allows it to adapt to various degrees of density, ranging from fluid-like to dense and thick in different regions of the body.

3. Varied Consistency from Fluid to Dense: The consistency of fascia is not uniform throughout the body. It varies dramatically, adapting to the specific demands and functions of different areas. From the pliability of fluid-like fascia to the density of thicker sections, this adaptability is crucial for overall movement and flexibility.

4. Fibroblasts Respond to Dysfunction: Fascia's response to trauma, poor posture, or inflammation is orchestrated by fibroblasts—specialized cells within the tissue. When dysfunction occurs, fibroblasts kick into action, producing collagen to repair the damage and restore the integrity of the fascial network.

5. Barrier Against Infection and Disease: Beyond its mechanical role, fascia serves as a protective barrier. Compartments of connective tissue within the fascial system act as a shield against infections and diseases, providing an additional layer of defense for the body.

6. Tensile Qualities and Compression Resistance: Fascia is not merely a passive structure; it possesses both tensile qualities and resistance to compression. These characteristics are crucial for providing strength and stability to the body, ensuring it can withstand the forces and pressures exerted during movement and daily activities.

7. Modifiable Through Fascial Stretching and Manual Therapy: Fascia is not immutable; it can be influenced and altered through specific interventions. Proper fascial stretching and manual therapy techniques have been shown to positively impact the fascial system, promoting flexibility, reducing restrictions, and improving overall function.

8. Support for Muscles, Strength, and Leverage: Fascia is not confined to a passive role; it actively supports muscles, contributing to our strength and leverage. The interconnected nature of fascia means that tension in one area can influence other regions, creating a dynamic relationship that plays a vital role in movement and posture.

9. Houses Nerves and Proprioceptors: Fascia is not solely a structural component; it houses nerves and proprioceptors—sensory receptors that provide information about joint position and movement. If damaged or restricted, fascia can impact these neural elements, potentially leading to pain and altered proprioception.

10. Healthy Fascia Slides and Glides: In its optimal state, healthy fascia exhibits smooth and effortless movement. As the body engages in motion, fascia allows for seamless sliding and gliding, promoting flexibility, reducing friction between tissues, and ensuring a harmonious interplay between different body structures.

Unlocking the Transformative Power of Fascia Treatment: Understanding the intricate nature of fascia opens the door to innovative approaches for pain relief and enhanced well-being. Fascia treatment, encompassing techniques such as manual therapy and specialized stretching exercises, has gained prominence for its ability to address fascial restrictions, restore optimal movement patterns, and alleviate pain.

The Fascia Treatment Experience: Manual Therapy Techniques: Skilled practitioners employ hands-on techniques to target specific fascial restrictions. This may include myofascial release, soft tissue manipulation, and other manual therapy approaches designed to improve fascial mobility.

Fascial Stretching Protocols: Tailored stretching protocols focus on releasing tension within the fascial system. Through controlled and specific stretches, practitioners work to enhance flexibility, reduce adhesions, and promote a healthier fascial state.

Movement-Based Therapies: Integrating movement-based therapies into fascia treatment helps reinforce positive changes. Exercise routines that emphasize dynamic movements and functional patterns can contribute to improved fascial health over time.

Understanding and Managing Lower Leg Pain in Boerum Hill: Calf, Ankle, Achilles, and Foot Pain

Lower leg pain can be a common and often debilitating issue that affects individuals of all ages. Boerum Hill, a charming neighborhood in Brooklyn, is no exception. While it's known for its beautiful brownstones, trendy boutiques, and vibrant community, residents here are not immune to lower leg discomfort. In this article, we'll explore the various causes of lower leg pain, focusing on calf, ankle, Achilles, and foot pain, and discuss available treatment options.

Causes of Lower Leg Pain Calf Pain:

Calf pain is a frequent complaint in Boerum Hill and elsewhere. It can result from muscle strains, overuse, or muscle imbalances. Conditions like calf muscle tears and Achilles tendonitis often contribute to this type of pain.

Ankle Pain: Ankle pain can arise from sprains, fractures, or conditions like Achilles tendinitis. Chronic issues, such as ankle instability, can also lead to persistent pain.

Achilles Tendon Pain: The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. Injuries or inflammation in this area, known as Achilles tendinitis, can cause significant discomfort.

Foot Pain: Foot pain can stem from various factors, including plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, or stress fractures. The choice of footwear, improper walking or running techniques, and excessive strain on the feet can exacerbate the problem.

The Importance of Professional Assessment

It's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management of lower leg pain. A physical therapist, for example, can assess your condition, identify the root cause of the pain, and tailor a treatment plan to address your specific needs. In Boerum Hill, residents have access to healthcare providers who are experienced in dealing with a wide range of lower leg issues.

Effective Treatment Approaches Lower leg pain can disrupt daily life and prevent you from enjoying all that Boerum Hill has to offer. However, with the right treatment, you can find relief and get back on your feet. Here are some effective treatment approaches:

Hands On Physical Therapy: Physical therapy plays a crucial role in the management of lower leg pain. A skilled physical therapist can design a personalized exercise program to strengthen and stretch the affected muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance your overall lower leg function.

Rest and Immobilization: In some cases, rest and immobilization may be necessary, especially for acute injuries. A healthcare professional can guide you on the appropriate duration and level of immobilization to facilitate healing.

Orthotics: Custom orthotic inserts can provide additional support and relieve pressure on the lower leg. These are particularly helpful for individuals with foot and ankle pain.

Anti-Inflammatory Medications: Non-prescription anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, can help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. Always consult a healthcare provider before using any medication.

Massage Therapy: Massage therapy can be beneficial in relieving muscle tension and improving circulation. Regular massages can contribute to reducing lower leg pain and preventing future issues.

Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: A physical therapist can teach you specific exercises to improve the strength and flexibility of your lower leg muscles, aiding in the recovery process and preventing future injuries.

Preventing Lower Leg Pain While treatment is essential, prevention is equally important. To minimize the risk of lower leg pain, consider the following:

Proper Footwear: Choose shoes that provide adequate support and cushioning, especially if you have a history of lower leg pain.

Gradual Increase in Activity: If you're starting a new exercise program or increasing the intensity of your current one, do so gradually to allow your body to adapt.

Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess body weight can strain your lower legs. Maintaining a healthy weight reduces the stress on these areas.

'Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration helps prevent muscle cramps and related lower leg discomfort.

Have you been diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy?

Are you frustrated with numbness and tingling in your legs or feet?

Do you have burning sensations in your foot or toes?

Neuropathy, often characterized by numbness, burning, tingling, and pain in the legs and feet, is a condition that can significantly impact one's quality of life.

While neuropathy can have various underlying causes, such as diabetes, chemotherapy, or nerve compression, finding effective treatment is essential for alleviating the discomfort and enhancing daily living.

In this article, we will explore home remedies for neuropathy in the legs and feet, with a focus on innovative and convenient solutions provided by doctors of physical therapy, right in the comfort of your home or office.

Understanding Neuropathy
Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves, often resulting in symptoms like:

Numbness: A loss of sensation in the affected areas, making it challenging to feel hot or cold.

Burning Sensation: A persistent burning or tingling feeling in the legs and feet.

Tingling: A sensation of "pins and needles" or tingling, similar to when a limb "falls asleep."

Pain, Discomfort, or Aches: Neuropathy can cause both sharp and dull pain, which can be chronic or intermittent.

Neuropathy can result from various factors, such as diabetes, chemotherapy, alcohol abuse, or nerve compression due to poor posture or traumatic injuries.

Effective treatment is crucial for managing the symptoms and improving one's quality of life.

Home Remedies for Neuropathy
While neuropathy often requires medical intervention, there are home remedies and treatments that can complement professional care.

Here are three innovative home remedies that have shown promise in managing neuropathy:

1. StimPod Pulsed Radiofrequency Stimulation
StimPod pulsed radiofrequency stimulation is an innovative and non-invasive treatment for neuropathy. It involves placing a device on the affected legs or feet, delivering targeted electrical pulses to the nerves. This treatment aims to stimulate nerve regeneration and alleviate symptoms.

Research on the effectiveness of pulsed radiofrequency stimulation for neuropathy is promising, with potential benefits for pain relief and symptom management. [^1]

2. Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) is another promising treatment option for neuropathy. The vagus nerve plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including pain perception and inflammation.

Using the same StimPod pulsed radiofrequency stimulation device for just 10 minutes per treatment, VNS can modulate the nervous system, potentially reducing pain and discomfort associated with neuropathy. [^2]

3. Balance Drills and Sciatic Nerve Flossing/Gliding
Balance drills and sciatic nerve flossing/gliding exercises can help improve neuropathy symptoms. Balance drills focus on enhancing stability and reducing the risk of falls, which is crucial for individuals with neuropathy. Sciatic nerve flossing or gliding exercises involve gentle movements that can help relieve nerve compression and tension, reducing symptoms like tingling and pain.

The Role of Doctors of Physical Therapy with Your Neuropathy

Doctors of physical therapy (DPTs) are highly trained healthcare professionals who specialize in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and movement disorders. They are instrumental in providing home-based care for neuropathy.

Here's what you can expect from their treatment:

Evaluation: DPTs will perform a comprehensive evaluation to understand the nature of your neuropathy, its underlying causes, and its impact on your daily life.

Diagnosis: Based on the evaluation, DPTs will provide a diagnosis, helping you understand the root causes of your neuropathy and its specific impact on your legs and feet.

Individualized Treatment Plans: DPTs create personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, goals, and the nature of your neuropathy.

Hands-On Manual Therapy: Physical therapists may use manual therapy techniques to alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve circulation in the legs and feet.

Exercise and Stretching: DPTs will guide you through exercises and stretches that can improve balance, strengthen leg and foot muscles, and alleviate neuropathy symptoms.

In-Home Neuropathy Treatment
In-home treatment for neuropathy offers several advantages, including:

Unique Care Plans (Not cookie-cutter): DPTs provide one-on-one attention, ensuring that your treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs and comfort.

Comfort and Familiarity: Being treated in the comfort of your own home or office can enhance the therapeutic experience. If you're treated by our team, you will have the same doctor of PT for all of your home treatment visits, unless you request to try another doctor of PT.  

Easy Scheduling: Neuropathy symptoms can fluctuate, and schedules can be busy. In-home treatment offers flexibility to ensure you receive care when it's most convenient for you.

Effective Relief & Successful Results : In-home physical therapy can be just as effective as clinic-based therapy, offering you a convenient way to address your neuropathy symptoms.
