Neuromodulation

We are dedicated to helping you reclaim independence and quality of life through personalized neuromodulation therapies. For neurological conditions or chronic pain, we provide advanced options beyond traditional care.

What is neuromodulation?

Neuromodulation is an advanced treatment option that helps regulate how nerves communicate in the brain, spinal cord, or body. It uses small, targeted electrical signals—or medication delivered directly where it’s needed—to help optimize nerve signaling. Treatments are personalized and adjustable to provide new hope when it’s needed most.

Conditions we treat with neuromodulation

Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis

Chronic pain

Epilepsy

Migraine and refractory headache disorders

Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders

Spasticity

Stroke damage

Treatment-resistant depression

Advanced neuromodulation technologies and therapies

We offer a range of innovative neuromodulation technologies designed to improve function, manage symptoms and enhance quality of life for people living with neurological conditions, chronic pain and inflammatory disorders.

Stroke rehabilitation with Vivistim®

A stroke rehabilitation system that uses mild electrical stimulation paired with physical therapy to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke.

Dysphagia treatment with Phagenyx®

A treatment for severe swallowing difficulties that uses targeted electrical stimulation of the throat to help restore function, particularly after neurological injury or stroke.

Vagus nerve stimulation for rheumatoid arthritis

The SetPoint System is a minimally invasive therapy that uses targeted vagus nerve stimulation to help reduce inflammation and symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Precision Neuroscience Brain-Computer Interface

An advanced brain-computer interface (BCI) designed to record brain activity with high precision, with the potential to help people with paralysis communicate and interact with digital devices using their brain signals.

Spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain

Implantable devices that deliver mild electrical signals to the spinal cord to help reduce chronic pain, including back, leg and nerve pain, and may reduce the need for pain medication.
