BioWave® PENS – Electrical Stimulation for Pain Relief

What is BioWave® PENS?

Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS) with BioWave® is a cutting-edge therapy for managing chronic pain. Unlike traditional treatments that mask symptoms, BioWave® PENS works at the source by delivering therapeutic electrical signals directly to the nerves. This minimally invasive procedure can provide significant pain relief, and improve function.

How BioWave® PENS Works

  • Targeted Therapy: Hair-thin needles are gently placed near the nerves in the painful area.
  • Advanced Technology: These needles connect to the BioWave® system, which delivers specialized electrical impulses.
  • Deep Neuromodulation: The impulses reach deep into nerves and muscles, disrupting pain signals before they reach the brain.
  • Comfortable Experience: Patients feel a light tapping or tingling sensation during treatment. Sessions last 20–30 minutes.

Benefits of BioWave® PENS

  • Uses electrical stimulation to target pain signals
  • Can reduce muscle spasms and nerve hypersensitivity
  • Often improves mobility and physical function
  • Many patients feel better within the first few treatments
  • Non-surgical, minimally invasive, and repeatable

What to Expect

  • Most patients receive a series of treatments (up to 10 over several weeks).
  • Pain relief may be felt after the first or second session, but results improve with continued therapy.
  • You can return home the same day and resume normal activities shortly after.

Who Can Benefit?

BioWave® PENS may be right for you if you suffer from:

  • Chronic back or neck pain
  • Neuropathic pain (nerve pain, diabetic neuropathy, etc.)
  • Post-surgical pain
  • Pain not relieved by other therapies
