How StimPod Helps Ease CRPS

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.

Carpal Tunnel Relief in Soho, Manhattan

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that can significantly impact the quality of life for busy professionals, creatives, and residents in Soho, Manhattan.

The discomfort, tingling, and weakness caused by CTS can hinder daily tasks, from typing emails to creating art.

At Concierge Pain Relief - Home Physical Therapy, we specialize in personalized, evidence-based treatment to address the root cause of your symptoms and help you return to doing what you love.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, becomes compressed.

This can lead to symptoms such as:

- Numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.

- Weakness in the hand, making it difficult to grip objects.

Pain that may radiate up the arm.

Common causes and risk factors include repetitive hand movements, prolonged use of vibrating tools, pregnancy, or underlying health conditions like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.

Our Approach to Carpal Tunnel Relief

At Concierge Pain Relief, we provide individualized care tailored to your unique needs.

Our Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPTs) come directly to your home or office, offering the ultimate convenience and privacy.

Here's how we approach carpal tunnel treatment:

Comprehensive Assessment We perform a thorough evaluation to identify the severity of your condition and any contributing factors, such as poor ergonomics or muscle imbalances. Advanced diagnostic tools may be used to assess nerve function and identify trigger points.

Pulsed Radio-Frequency Stimulation
Using our portable and comfortable StimPod device, this breakthrough medical device provides pain relief via a comfortable level of stimulation to your wrist, hand, thumb, fingers (and possibly other areas of the arm). We typically treat each arm area for about 5-10 minutes per region. The StimPod helps reduce inflammation, relieves nerve pain, resolves numbness in the arm, forearm, hand, and fingers... all without side effects.

Targeted Manual Therapy Hands-on techniques, including soft tissue mobilization and myofascial release, help alleviate pressure on the median nerve and reduce inflammation.

Therapeutic Exercises Customized exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles of the hand, wrist, and forearm, improving overall function and reducing symptoms. Nerve gliding exercises are often incorporated to improve mobility and reduce nerve irritation.

Ergonomic Recommendations We provide guidance on optimizing your workstation setup and daily habits to prevent recurrence of symptoms. This includes adjustments to keyboard and mouse placement, as well as posture training.

Pain Management Techniques Non-invasive methods such as cold therapy, ultrasound, or kinesiotaping may be used to reduce swelling and alleviate discomfort.
