Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is one of the most common causes of pain, numbness, and foot drop, most often seen in runners.
Point Performance Medicine, a pioneer in innovative medical treatments, is proud to be the first in the Washington, DC metropolitan region to introduce Scrambler Therapy. This evidence-based, cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment is uniquely tailored for the treatment of chronic, neuropathic pain, and other pain disorders. This revolutionary approach retrains the brain by replacing pain signals with soothing, non-painful sensations using advanced electrical stimulation technology.
Scrambler Therapy uses continuously varying waveforms to “scramble” pain signals into non-painful messages, offering relief at both the peripheral and central nervous system levels.
It is already offered to patients nationwide at the most prestigious institutions, including Johns Hopkins Medical Institute and UCLA Medical Center. Treatment outcomes have received highly favorable reviews in renowned medical journals, including The New England Journal of Medicine.
In the most extensive studies, 80-90% of patients reported favorable outcomes, with pain reduction often persisting for weeks, months, or even years. A recent meta-analysis of randomized trials demonstrated significant pain reduction scores and a moderate reduction in the use of pain medications.
One major study showed an impressive 91% reduction in pain scores, accompanied by a 75% decrease in opioid and analgesic usage.
Scrambler Therapy is well-tolerated, with a low complication rate of just 0.26% (e.g., minor skin irritation) in over 1,100 patients reviewed. It is not advised for individuals with implanted pacemakers, defibrillators, or uncontrolled epilepsy.
During a treatment session, adhesive electrodes are placed on healthy skin near the painful area. Patients typically describe the sensation as a mild, tingling feeling. Sessions last up to 45 minutes and are tailored daily to optimize relief. There are usually ten sessions over 2 weeks.
Scrambler Therapy’s benefits often extend beyond the treatment period, reducing pain hypersensitivity and potentially addressing underlying brain sensitivity to pain signals.
Scrambler Therapy is a groundbreaking advancement in non-invasive pain management, offering hope for those battling chronic pain that hasn’t responded to conventional treatments. It provides a unique opportunity to retrain your brain, reduce pain, and reclaim your quality of life.
