Neuromuscular Stimulation (Stimpod)
Neuromuscular Stimulation (NMS) uses a form of electrical stimulation therapy designed to help restore the natural functionality of nerve cells through a nonâinvasive approach. At DISC, we are one of only two clinics in the UK to use the Stimpod device, which employs patented Pulsed Radio Frequency (PRF) waveform technology. It is particularly effective in cases of neuropathic pain, peripheral neuropathy, chronic intractable pain, and nerve entrapments.
The treatment delivers precise electrical impulses through a penâlike probe placed on the skin surface. Patients may experience a mild tingling or pulsing sensation, which corresponds to the recovery of stimulated nerves. This therapy has shown success in helping patients with conditions such as sciatica, drop-foot, diabetic neuropathy, as well as more unusual cases like Bellâs palsy, migraines, and meralgia paraesthetica.
Clinical research has demonstrated improvements in motor control, a reduction in hypersensitivity, and the restoration of nerve communication pathways. Stimpod is included without additional charge when required during our flagship disc herniation program or as a bolt-on therapy for milder conditions.

Restoring the Natural Functionality of Nerves
Stimpod NMS460 is designed to regenerate the natural functionality of nerve cells.
The electromagnetic field generated by the device triggers a long-lasting recovery through a metabolic biochemical cascade which targets the root cause of neurologically related diseases.
At DISC our first priority in the case of disc herniations and sciatica, is to calm the source of the pain in the low back, however once that job is under way the emphasis often shifts to the highly inflamed nerve ending further down the leg. NMS gives us a targeted âreset buttonâ for these nerve fibres, whether they be under-actively misfiring or over-actively irritated.
The induced electromagnetic field propagates through the skin to the nerves and travels along the axons to the spinal dorsal horn, restoring the intra-neural communication pathways and the natural nerve functionality.
The induced electromagnetic field oscillates at frequencies in the range of the radio spectrum. It propagates as short bursts through the skin to the nerves and travels along the axons to the spinal dorsal horn, restoring the intra-neural communication pathways and the natural nerve functionality.
Studies have shown instant and dramatic relief of chronic intractable pain, including a flagship research program performed by orthopaedic surgeons At Guys & st Thomasâ hospital London.
The ideal result leads to a long-lasting restoration of the intra-neural communication pathways and the natural nerve functionality. The biological properties of the nerve guide are optimized by the combination of an aligned, protein-rich inner core with a protective outer layer.
- The nerves are reconnected.
- The functional nerve impulses can be transmitted again.
- The patients can regain sensation in the reinnervated area.
- The patients can regain their ability to move.
- The patients can regain their ability to feel.
Stimpod therapy is included without additional charge when required during our flagship disc herniation program.
