Stimpod treatment in Evansville may offer a non-surgical option for people dealing with burning, tingling, numbness, or electric-like nerve pain that interferes with sleep, work, walking, and everyday life.

At Lobacz Chiropractic, we serve patients throughout Evansville and the surrounding 20-mile Tri-State area, including Newburgh, Henderson, and Owensboro. Our goal is to understand why nerve symptoms are occurring and determine whether advanced, conservative care may be appropriate.

Why Consider Stimpod Therapy?

Neuropathic pain is different from ordinary muscle soreness or joint pain. It may continue even when you rest because the problem involves irritated, damaged, or dysfunctional nerves that are sending abnormal signals.

People commonly describe neuropathy as:

Burning feet or legs
Pins-and-needles sensations
Numbness or reduced sensation
Sharp, shooting, or electric pain
Increased sensitivity to clothing or bedsheets
Foot discomfort that becomes worse at night
Balance problems or difficulty walking
Weakness or cramping

If nerve symptoms persist, you may be looking for an alternative to simply taking medication and hoping the symptoms settle down. A thorough evaluation is still important because neuropathy can have many causes, including diabetes, nerve compression, injuries, nutritional problems, medication effects, and other medical conditions.

Our neuropathy treatment approach in Evansville is centered on identifying the patient’s symptoms, history, nerve involvement, and treatment goals before recommending a care plan.

What Is Stimpod NMS460 PRF Therapy?

The Stimpod NMS460 is a handheld neuromodulation device designed to deliver controlled stimulation through the skin to targeted peripheral nerves. The therapy is commonly described as transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency, or PRF, because it uses carefully controlled pulses rather than surgical implantation.

You can review technical information about the Stimpod NMS460 PRF Therapy System from AlgiaMed. The device is used as a non-invasive approach to help manage certain neuropathic pain conditions.

For someone considering Stimpod therapy, the important distinction is that the therapy does not require an incision, implanted device, or medication injection. A clinician uses a treatment probe and electrode to target a specific nerve pathway based on the examination.

How Targeted Nerve Stimulation Works

Healthy nerves communicate information between the body, spinal cord, and brain. When a nerve becomes irritated or damaged, it may send excessive, disorganized, or painful signals.

Stimpod therapy applies controlled pulsed stimulation to a targeted nerve. The goal is to influence how that nerve is signaling and potentially reduce the intensity of abnormal pain messages.

The treatment is not intended to cure every cause of neuropathy or guarantee that lost sensation will return. Instead, it may be used as one part of a broader care plan focused on symptom management, nerve support, and improved function.

Who May Be a Candidate?

Stimpod therapy may be considered for selected adults experiencing neuropathic pain, particularly symptoms involving the feet and lower legs. Stimpod therapy may be discussed when symptoms have continued despite rest or conventional approaches.

A consultation may be appropriate if you experience:

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy symptoms
Burning or shooting pain in the feet
Persistent tingling or pins and needles
Painful sensitivity to light touch
Neuropathy that disrupts sleep
Symptoms that make walking or exercise difficult
Ongoing discomfort despite previous conservative care

The Mayo Clinic overview of peripheral neuropathy explains that nerve symptoms can vary widely depending on the nerves involved and the underlying cause.

An evaluation for Stimpod therapy may include a discussion of your health history, current symptoms, previous testing, medications, diabetes status, and functional goals. We may also consider high-tech diagnostic information and clinical examination findings before deciding whether this therapy fits your situation.

What to Expect During Treatment

Stimpod therapy is performed in the office and does not involve surgery or injections. The clinician identifies the nerve pathway to be treated, positions the electrode, and uses the handheld probe to deliver controlled stimulation.

Patients may feel a pulsing, tingling, or unusual sensation during treatment. During Stimpod therapy, the intensity is adjusted according to the treatment area, the patient’s sensitivity, and the clinical objective.

The number of sessions varies. Neuropathy is usually a gradual condition, so recommendations depend on:

The suspected cause of symptoms
The duration and severity of neuropathy
Whether pain, numbness, or both are present
Your response during treatment
Other therapies included in the care plan
Your goals for walking, sleeping, and daily activity

Stimpod and MLS Class 4 Laser Therapy

MLS Laser Therapy is another non-invasive technology that may be used in a comprehensive neuropathy program. It uses photobiomodulation, a process in which light energy interacts with cells and supports cellular activity, circulation, inflammation control, and tissue recovery.

According to CE Lasers’ medical MLS Laser Therapy information, the Multiwave Locked System synchronizes two infrared wavelengths:

808 nm continuous emission, associated with circulation, fluid movement, and inflammation modulation
905 nm pulsed emission, associated with pain perception and nerve-fiber stimulation

MLS is an FDA-cleared Class IV therapy laser. The light energy is intended to support photobiomodulation and ATP production within cells, which may help create better conditions for tissue repair and complement a Stimpod therapy plan.

Stimpod and MLS Laser Therapy may address different aspects of a patient’s presentation. Stimpod focuses on targeted peripheral nerve stimulation, while MLS Laser Therapy may be used to support tissue health and reduce irritation in the treatment area.

Chiropractic Care and JointWave Shockwave Therapy

Neuropathy care may also include Chiropractic Care in Evansville when joint movement, soft-tissue tension, posture, or mechanical stress may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms.

Chiropractic care does not directly replace medical management for diabetes or other systemic causes of neuropathy. However, improving movement and reducing stress on surrounding joints and tissues may be relevant for some patients.

JointWave Shockwave Therapy is another non-surgical technology available at Lobacz Chiropractic. It uses targeted acoustic energy to support circulation and tissue repair, and it is often considered for stubborn soft-tissue problems.

For someone receiving Stimpod therapy, JointWave may be relevant when neuropathic symptoms overlap with plantar foot pain, tissue irritation, restricted movement, or another musculoskeletal condition. The right combination depends on the examination rather than applying the same treatment to everyone.

Some patients have only been offered older, insurance-limited care models or methods that have changed very little since the 1960s. Advanced diagnostics and modern out-of-pocket therapies may provide additional options when a conventional plan does not address the full picture.

When to Seek Prompt Medical Attention

Before pursuing Stimpod therapy, neuropathy symptoms should not automatically be assumed to be routine. Seek prompt medical evaluation if you experience:

Sudden or rapidly worsening weakness
New difficulty walking
Loss of bladder or bowel control
Facial drooping, confusion, or trouble speaking
Sudden one-sided numbness
A rapidly spreading area of numbness
An open foot wound you cannot feel
Redness, swelling, drainage, or signs of infection
Severe symptoms after an injury

People with diabetes should pay close attention to foot health because reduced sensation can make it difficult to notice cuts, burns, blisters, or pressure injuries. Stimpod therapy does not replace diabetes management, medical diagnosis, wound care, or emergency treatment.

A Message From Dr. Andrew Lobacz

I believe effective care begins with understanding the root cause of a patient’s symptoms rather than chasing pain from one appointment to the next. My mission is to provide honest explanations, use appropriate technology, and build individualized plans that support lasting relief and improved mobility whenever possible.
