How TMS Works for Pain Relief

When targeted to specific brain or nerve root areas, TMS therapy can:

✔ Reduce local and systemic inflammation
✔ Decrease protective muscle contractions contributing to chronic pain
✔ Stimulate nerve roots and surrounding muscles to promote recovery

Conditions we commonly address include:

  • Arthritic pain
  • Disc herniation
  • Neuropathic pain
  • Muscular pain such as spasm, etc.
  • Migraines

In some cases, patients have postponed or avoided surgeries, such as knee replacements, after undergoing TMS sessions.

Discover How mPNS Therapy Can Reduce Pain 

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is FDA-cleared for multiple mental health conditions and has now been approved for peripheral pain management as of 2023. We are proud to offer this treatment at our Scottsdale clinic. It is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) via magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation (mPNS) to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation.

PEMF therapy is not new. It has been used since the 1970s for bone regeneration and has shown promising results in reducing pain and inflammation through two main mechanisms:

✨ Increasing blood flow and oxygen consumption, enhancing the body’s natural healing processes

🚫 Lowering inflammation by reducing markers like Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α)

In a 2017 study, low-frequency PEMF significantly reduced IL-1β and TNF-α in spinal disc tissue, both of which are associated with chronic pain and inflammation. (Zou et al., Journal of International Medical Research)

Whether you’re suffering from osteoarthritis, back pain, or other chronic conditions, TMS may offer a non-drug, non-surgical path to relief.

🌍 A Global Collaboration for Better Care

We are proud to collaborate with Brains’ Clinic Egypt, a leading center that has used peripheral TMS for pain relief since 2012. Their founder, Dr. Adel Marei, has helped numerous patients delay major surgical procedures with this technology.

“We don’t just treat the symptoms — we treat the cause. By targeting nerve roots and the surrounding muscles, TMS can break the pain cycle.” -Dr. Marei
