Tired of Living With Pain That Just Won’t Go Away?

We understand. Chronic pain isn’t just discomfort. It’s a constant barrier to enjoying life. And it can seem impossible to overcome.

You may have tried various treatments, from medication to therapy. Yet, the pain is still there, affecting your mood, sleep, and daily activities.

But what if there was a different path?

Introducing mPNS: Hope for Your Chronic Pain

Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS) is a revolutionary treatment offering a new possibility of relief.

Imagine reducing your chronic pain by up to 87% without drugs, surgery, or additional pain. mPNS makes this possible.

How Does mPNS Work?

The principle of electromagnetism is at the heart of mPNS. It’s comparable to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which. we use as part of our MeRT® treatment. But TMS focuses magnetic impulses on the brain, while mPNS targets nerve bundles.

mPNS generates these magnetic pulses to adjust how neurons respond to pain signals, reaching deeper nerves without direct contact. By stimulating these nerves, mPNS offers pain relief.

You could say that this treatment “reconditions” the central nervous system. It reduces chronic pain and paves the way for a pain-free life. And it does it without invasive procedures or medications.

mPNS Treatment Process: Your Path to Comfort

  1. Start the Process: Begin your journey to relief by filling out our intake forms. 
  2. Medical Assessment: Our physician will review your case and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.  
  3. Treatment Sessions: The initial treatment protocol typically involves three sessions within the first seven days, followed by weekly sessions for month one and bi-weekly sessions for month two.
  4. Maintenance: To maintain well-being, many people find treatments every two to eight weeks helpful. These treatments help to manage symptoms and ensure comfort.

I am truly impressed with my first session for pain relief. I have used so many therapies over the years to minimize extreme neck pain, to no avail. I had minimal expectations and literally walked out of my first session beginning at 10 pain level down to 3. After several hours, my pain is at a 2 out of 10 pain scale and I can’t wait to go back.”

Why Choose mPNS Treatment for Your Chronic Pain?

  • No Drugs Involved: mPNS offers a way to manage pain without relying on medications. That’s great for those wanting to avoid side effects or the risk of dependency.
  • Avoids Surgery: Since it’s non-invasive, there’s no need for any surgical procedures. This means no surgical risks and no recovery time.
  • Comfortable Treatment: The process delivers micro-currents through the skin, making it a comfortable, painless option for pain relief.
  • Significant Pain Reduction: Some users experience a remarkable decrease in pain levels, with reductions of up to 87% reported.
  • FDA-cleared: Having the FDA’s clearance shows that mPNS is safe and effective for certain conditions, giving you peace of mind.
  • Less Need for Opioids: For those concerned about opioid use, mPNS can minimize dependence on opioids and other medications. In one study, mPNS reduced opioid use in 58.3% of responders.

I was initially skeptical about how effective the mPNS therapy could be on pain, but considering it’s pain-free and non-invasive, I thought it was worth a try. I had been struggling with a throbbing, achy shoulder for months—which disrupted my sleep and affected my golf game. To my amazement, nothing has ever worked this fast for pain relief before! After just three treatments, I’m now sleeping through the night without any pain, and I can enjoy golf again as long as I’m careful not to overdo it. A big thank you to Dr. Brossfield for introducing this incredible technology to the desert!”

Research on mPNS for Pain Relief

Studies are showing the effectiveness of mPNS in relieving pain. Here are some of the most recent:

Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS) for Chronic Pain
Transcutaneous magnetic stimulation (TMS) in alleviating post-traumatic peripheral neuropathic pain States
Effect of low frequency transcutaneous magnetic stimulation on sensory and motor transmission
Decreased Spasticity After Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation in Patients Following Stroke

Six weeks ago, while visiting the Brain Performance Center in Rancho Mirage, Dr. Brossfield recommended a treatment for foot pain called mPNS or magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation.
Treatment is usually over a period of 4-6 weeks. I had ONE treatment and noticed a significant change to the bottom of my right foot toe pad within a few days. After one week, I was pain free regardless of the shoe I was wearing. I will definitely return in the fall for a follow-up treatment to keep the pain away. I can’t recommend this procedure highly enough. The staff was knowledgeable and professional and the entire experience eye opening!”

mPNS FAQs

General Questions about mPNS

What is Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS)?

mPNS is a non-invasive therapy that employs magnetic energy to stimulate peripheral nerves. It eases pain by blocking nerve signals to the brain and increasing the body’s natural healing processes.

How does mPNS work?

A magnetic field is generated around the area being treated, interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain. This results in pain relief and reduces inflammation in the surrounding tissues.

What conditions can mPNS help improve?

mPNS is effective for various conditions, including chronic pain, nerve injuries, neuropathies, and many musculoskeletal disorders. It may be incorporated into a comprehensive pain management plan.

Is the mPNS treatment painful?

Patients typically do not find mPNS treatment painful. Some may experience a tingling sensation or muscle contractions in the treated area, but these are generally well tolerated and not uncomfortable.

Is mPNS safe?

Yes, mPNS is a safe, non-invasive option for most people. However, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before beginning treatment, especially for those with implanted medical devices, such as pacemakers.

How is mPNS different from using a TENS unit?

The two treatments work on different principles. mPNS uses magnetic fields to induce electrical currents in deep nerve bundles, stimulating the nerves without direct contact. Due to the ability of magnetic fields to penetrate deeper tissues and stimulate a broader area of nerve fibers, patients using mPNS may find relief for conditions that are not as responsive to TENS.

Is mPNS covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage for mPNS varies. We recommend checking directly with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options for magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation treatments.

About mPNS Sessions

How long is each mPNS treatment session?

Sessions usually last between 20 to 60 minutes, varying based on the condition being treated and the individual’s treatment plan.

How many mPNS sessions are needed?

The number of sessions varies with each person’s condition and treatment objectives. A common approach is to start with three sessions in the first week and then adjust the frequency based on the initial results. For ongoing maintenance, monthly sessions are often sufficient.

About Treatment Results

What outcomes can be expected from mPNS treatment according to research?

Research shows significant benefits: on average, patients report a 54% reduction in pain after one session and a 72% reduction after three sessions. In cases of chronic neuropathic pain, reductions of up to 87% have been reported.*

*Bedder M, Parker L. Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS) for Chronic Pain. J Pain Res. 2023;16:2365-2373

Are there side effects associated with mPNS?

mPNS is generally safe with minimal side effects. Some individuals might experience slight discomfort or skin irritation at the treatment site, which typically resolves shortly after the session.

Can mPNS be combined with other treatments?

Yes, mPNS can be part of a holistic treatment approach, which may include physical therapy, medications, and other non-invasive treatments.

The Brain Performance Center has a wonderful and competent professional team.
Their treatments are very effective. The peripheral nerve stimulation decreased bilateral shoulder pain to a minimal level of 1/10. It completely restored the shoulder’s range of motion.
Treating the painful spinal cord level reduced the pain from an 8-9/10 to a 1/10.
Unlike medications I had to take in the past, this treatment modality has no side effects for me.
I can recommend and fully endorse the Brain Performance Center.”
