1. What is Scrambler Therapy®?
Scrambler Therapy® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for chronic nerve pain. It uses electrical stimulation to send “non-pain” signals through the skin to retrain the brain’s response to pain—without drugs, surgery, or implants.
2. What conditions does it treat?
Scrambler Therapy® is used to treat a wide range of chronic nerve pain conditions, including neuropathy from diabetes, chemotherapy, surgery, or unknown causes, as well as sciatica, CRPS, phantom limb pain, trigeminal neuralgia, and more.
3. Is Scrambler Therapy® safe?
Yes. It is completely non-invasive and drug-free, with no reported side effects. It’s been used by top hospitals like Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and UCLA with excellent safety outcomes.
4. What does treatment feel like?
The treatment is gentle and non-painful. You may feel tingling, pulsing, or tapping sensations where the electrodes are placed—never painful, and many find it relaxing.
5. How many sessions will I need?
Most patients undergo 5-7 treatment sessions over 2 weeks. Each session lasts about 45–60 minutes. Some patients require booster sessions later to maintain long-term relief.
6. When will I feel relief?
Many patients feel significant relief within their first few sessions, and some experience it during their very first treatment. Results build session by session.
7. Is the relief long-lasting?
Yes. After completing the full treatment cycle, many patients experience months—or even years—of pain relief. Booster sessions may be used to maintain results.
8. Is this covered by insurance?
Scrambler Therapy® is not typically covered by insurance, but many patients find the cost worthwhile due to the rapid, long-lasting results. We offer transparent pricing and flexible options.
