Other Treatment Options
While Scrambler Therapy is our primary focus, we believe in providing comprehensive information about complementary and alternative treatment options that may help manage chronic pain.

Red and Infrared Light Therapy
A non-invasive treatment that uses red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and cells, aiming to reduce inflammation, enhance cellular energy production (mitochondrial function), support tissue repair and wound healing and more!

Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency Devices
Tools that emit low-frequency electromagnetic pulses or fields with the goal of influencing cellular activity, circulation, pain relief, and recovery. They are often used for musculoskeletal issues, though clinical evidence varies by condition.

Water Therapy
A broad category that includes hydrotherapy and other water-based treatments such as immersion, contrast baths, and aquatic exercises. It leverages buoyancy, pressure, temperature, and hydrostatic effects to relieve pain, improve circulation, and support rehabilitation. Many patients have experienced postive results incorporating water therapy into a fitness and recovery program. If a salt water pool is available, even better!

Vagus Nerve Stimulation
A therapy that electrically stimulates the vagus nerve (often via an implanted device or transcutaneous approaches) to modulate brain networks involved in mood, anxiety, seizure control, and autonomic regulation. It’s used for certain medical conditions and is being explored for broader therapeutic applications.

Drugs and Medications
often requires a multimodal treatment approach, and medications can help target different aspects of the condition. Analgesics (including NSAIDs and acetaminophen) may relieve mild pain, while more targeted options like nerve-blocking medications (gabapentinoids such as gabapentin and pregabalin) and antidepressants (tricyclics or SNRIs) can reduce neuropathic pain and improve function. Topical agents (lidocaine patches) and topical lidocaine or capsaicin may provide localized relief.

Important Considerations
While Calmare/Scrambler Therapy can be beneficial for managing chronic pain, it's important to remember that every patient's situation is unique. What works well for one person may not work as effectively for another.
Before Starting Any New Treatment:
•
Consult with your healthcare provider to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for your condition
•
Discuss potential interactions with your current medications or treatments
•
Research qualified providers and facilities that offer the treatment
•
Understand the costs involved and whether your insurance provides coverage
•
Set realistic expectations and give treatments adequate time to show results
Many patients find that a multimodal approach combining several complementary treatments provides the best results. Some of these therapies can be used alongside Calmare/Scrambler Therapy to enhance overall pain management and improve quality of life.
