What Is Stimpod NMS460?
The Stimpod NMS460 is an FDA-cleared medical device that uses transdermal pulsed radiofrequency (tPRF) stimulation to treat chronic nerve pain. Unlike TENS or traditional electrotherapy which simply mask symptoms, Stimpod targets and retrains damaged nerve pathways to restore normal function and provide lasting relief.
At Spine Plus, we use Stimpod therapy as part of our integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to pain management, combining it with physiotherapy, osteopathy, and rehabilitation to deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients.
How Does It Work?
The Stimpod emits a pulsed radiofrequency waveform that targets C-fibre nerves responsible for chronic pain. A handheld probe is placed on the skin over the affected nerve pathways, with stimulation adjusted to your individual comfort level.
Unlike TENS or traditional electrostimulation devices, Stimpod doesn’t mask symptoms. It retrains and helps to heal nerve pathways at a cellular level:
- Reverses abnormal nerve signals
- Restores natural nerve conductivity
- Reduces muscle guarding and inflammation
- Improves circulation and tissue regeneration
- Promotes nerve healing on a cellular level
What to Expect
Each Stimpod session lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes. The treatment feels like a comfortable tapping sensation and is entirely non-invasive, no needles, no drugs, and no surgery. The intensity is adjusted to your individual comfort level throughout.
Many patients notice improvements within the first 1 to 5 sessions. A typical course consists of 6 to 12 sessions depending on the severity and chronicity of your condition. Your clinician will recommend a personalised treatment plan after your initial assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Stimpod Therapy
What is Stimpod NMS460 therapy?
The Stimpod NMS460 is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive device that uses transdermal pulsed radiofrequency (tPRF) stimulation to restore nerve function, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. Unlike TENS or traditional electrostimulation, Stimpod targets and retrains nerve pathways rather than simply masking symptoms.
Is Stimpod therapy painful?
No. Most patients describe the sensation as a comfortable tapping feeling. The stimulation is adjusted to your individual tolerance level throughout the session. Treatment is entirely non-invasive: no needles, no drugs, and no surgery.
How is Stimpod different from TENS?
TENS devices work by blocking pain signals to provide temporary relief. Stimpod uses a different waveform, pulsed radiofrequency, that targets C-fibre nerves responsible for chronic pain. Rather than masking symptoms, it aims to retrain and heal nerve pathways, addressing the underlying cause of pain.
What conditions can Stimpod treat?
Stimpod therapy is indicated for sciatica, peripheral neuropathy (including diabetic and chemotherapy-induced), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), carpal tunnel syndrome, post-surgical nerve irritation, nerve entrapments, radiculopathy, and other chronic nerve pain conditions. It may also be used for Bell's Palsy and thoracic outlet syndrome.
How many sessions will I need?
A typical course consists of 6 to 12 sessions, depending on the severity and chronicity of your condition. Many patients notice improvements within the first 1 to 5 sessions. Your clinician will recommend a treatment plan after your initial assessment.
How long does each session last?
Each Stimpod therapy session lasts approximately 20 to 30 minutes. This may be combined with other treatments such as manual therapy or rehabilitation exercises as part of your overall treatment plan.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal. Some patients experience mild tingling at the treatment site which resolves quickly after the session. Stimpod therapy is non-invasive and drug-free, making it a safe option for most patients.
Is Stimpod therapy FDA-cleared?
Yes. The Stimpod NMS460 is FDA-cleared and is used by physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and pain specialists worldwide. It is supported by peer-reviewed research and clinical trials demonstrating improvements in pain levels, nerve function, and quality of life.
Can Stimpod be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Stimpod therapy works well alongside physiotherapy, osteopathy, manual therapy, and rehabilitation programmes. At Spine Plus, we take an integrated approach, combining Stimpod with other evidence-based treatments to optimise your recovery.
Do I need a referral for Stimpod therapy?
No referral is needed. You can book a Stimpod therapy consultation directly with Spine Plus online or by calling 020 8506 1000. Your clinician will carry out a thorough assessment at your first appointment to determine whether Stimpod is appropriate for your condition.
