NeuroMed Matrix Treatment in Mount Pleasant, SC
Every adult has experienced temporary or acute pain in their lifetime. Acute pain is your body’s way of responding to tissue injuries that are usually healed in less than three months. Unfortunately, about 21% of the U.S. population – nearly 52 million people – endure pain for more than three months, turning an annoying nuisance into a chronic, life-altering problem.
Some individuals suffer from chronic pain due to diseases, disorders, injuries, or accidents. Regardless of the cause, chronic pain can disrupt all aspects of a person’s life. Beyond pain, it affects a person’s ability to work and engage in social activities they once loved. It affects their relationships, triggers feelings of isolation, and can even cause anxiety.
If you’ve been trying to deal with chronic pain on your own, you know it’s no way to live. You’ve probably tried a range of treatments, but nothing has provided true relief. If you’re looking for a non-addictive, non-invasive solution to acute, sub-acute, or chronic pain, NeuroMed’s Matrix electroanalgesia system could be the answer.
What is NeuroMed Matrix Treatment?
You might be familiar with TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), which operates similarly to NeruoMed’s Matrix electroanalgesia system. However, there are some notable differences between the two treatments.
While an average TENS unit administers 1 to 250 pulses of electrical energy per second, the Matrix system uses much higher frequencies, delivering about 8,300 to 10,000 pulses per second. Matrix therapy also includes electrical pads that reduce skin resistance dramatically, allowing electrical energy to penetrate deeper into your tissues, which blocks your pain signals more effectively.
At Elite Healthcare, our doctors use the Matrix electroanalgesia system to give patients an FDA-approved alternative to surgery and pain pills.
What Makes Matrix Treatment So Effective for Pain Relief?
NeuroMed Matrix is an innovative pain relief system that delivers precise levels of electrical energy to stimulate your peripheral nerves and alleviate your pain. Stimulating your peripheral nerves depolarizes cells that cause pain signals to transmit to your brain, reducing and even eliminating your discomfort.
Electrical stimulation also increases blood flow to your nerves and nearby tissues, which in turn promotes healing in the area. By significantly reducing pain, patients who use Matrix treatment often experience a transformative change in their quality of life. This procedure is highly sought-after by adults looking to treat peripheral neuropathy and pain in orthopedic areas of the body.
NeuroMed Matrix therapy can be used for conditions such as:
- Sharp Pain
- Burning Pain
- Diabetic Nerve Pain
- Restless Legs
- Arthritis
- Cramping
- Numbness
- Tingling and Prickling
- Pain When Walking
- More
What Happens During Matrix Treatment at Elite Healthcare?
During your Matrix treatment session, electrodes shaped like suction cups are placed carefully over specific areas of your body. The exact placement of these electrodes depends on the pain symptoms you’re experiencing. Treatment time lasts anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes and includes electrical pulses targeting your nerves.
Once the treatment is complete, you should notice pain relief that actually improves over the next few minutes. It’s also common for patients to feel tingling sensations and less muscle tension in the treated area. While pain relief often happens with a single treatment, electroanalgesia therapy is most effective when multiple treatments are applied over time. Treatment frequency changes depending on the nature and severity of your pain.
