Chronic pain, particularly nerve pain, extends far beyond mere physical discomfort. It invariably impacts energy levels, disrupts sleep, diminishes focus, and even influences mood. In such challenging circumstances, PainMed utilises Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) as a sophisticated therapeutic option.
PainMed’s approach to PNS involves a minimally invasive treatment that employs mild electrical impulses to precisely modulate the pain signals transmitted from specific peripheral nerves to the brain. Our objective is not to simply mask the pain but rather to fundamentally alter how those pain messages are processed.
It works through a small device known as a peripheral nerve stimulator, which is placed near the affected nerve. Once activated, it sends gentle pulses designed to reduce the intensity of pain. The effects can be quite noticeable, sometimes immediate, and sometimes take a few days to become apparent.

Phantom Limb Pain
Pain in a limb that’s no longer there can be deeply distressing. Stimulating nearby nerves may help trick the brain into resetting how it processes pain in that area.

Intercostal Neuralgia
Pain between the ribs due to nerve damage or inflammation. A targeted stimulation approach can help ease that sharp, sometimes burning sensation.
