Calmare Pain Therapy is a cutting edge, non-invasive, non-narcotic method for rapid treatment of severe, chronic, neuropathic pain and oncologic including pain resistant to morphine and other drugs. In a 10-12 session treatment cycle the Calmare Pain Therapy treatments are designed to progressively reduced pain in intensity until it is eliminated. The relief from the pain for most patients is long term. For some patients Calmare Pain Therapy may follow up treatments as needed.

Calmare Pain Therapy is a non-invasive completely safe, and pain free treatment. No adverse side effects have been recorded with the Calmare Pain Therapy.

The treatment requires patients to come in for 10-12 consecutive treatments once a day for 10-12 days. Additional booster treatments may be required depending on the patient.

10-12 sessions, that are 30-45 minutes in length are required to get the best results from Calmare Pain Therapy. Most of our patients experience a decrease in their pain after the initial treatment. While every condition and our patients body’s pain is unique, most of our patients that complete the 10 -12 Calmare Pain Therapy sessions  identify a dramatic reduction in pain almost immediately.

In order to participate in Calmare Pain Treatments an initial evaluation given by Doctor Erick Bingham. Every patient is provided with a comfortable room where a relaxing chair and couch are provided for patient and guest. When the patient arrives for the scheduled visit then the non invasive application of Calmare Pain Therapy begins. Single-use surface electrodes (similar to an EKG) are applied to the skin area that correspond to the pain areas. Calmare Pain Therapy is designed treat up to five pain areas at the same time  in the same person.

While all results are not typical and every situation is different the longest time a patient has been “pain free” has been one year (however the norm that we see is usually 2-3 months until a booster treatment may be needed to maintain “pain free”status).

No. the TENS units block pain signals using high energy electrical impulses to distract the brain, but when discontinued there is no lasting pain relief.

The Calmare MC-5A device is different and more effective because it creates a low energy electric impulse that travels with the patient’s nerves providing a “no-pain” signal to the mind. Over a series of treatments, the mind ends up being “persuaded” that the location of pain is normal and healthy and lasting relief from pain may continue.

This treatment is U.S. FDA 510(k)-cleared and depending on your provider should be covered. In our initial consultation we verify your coverage and let you know what is covered before we proceed.

The following patients who are using neuroleptic agents for pain such as Neurontin (Gabapentin), or Amitriptyline (Elavil), Lyrica (Pregalbin), may have a reduced level of pain relief. Are advise that we provide in our private consultation is  to decrease the levels of these types of medications prior to beginning Calmare Pain Therapy treatment with us. In addition, other conditions that would prevent treatment include:

• Patients with implanted devices such as: pacemakers, automatic defibrillators, aneurysm clips, vena cava.
• Patients who have an implanted device such as a stimulator device, etc. (EG: for pain management).
• Patients who have wounds or skin irritation in areas where the electrodes are required to be placed.
• Patients who are, or could be, pregnant.
• Patients who suffer from epilepsy.

Patients with metal implants such as: knee, hip, shoulder and other joint replacements may be eligible for Calmare Pain Treatments.

Success has been proven in treating the following disorders, treating multiple types of pain related to these conditions:

• Brachial Plexus Neuropathy
• Cancer Pain
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
• Diabetic Neuropathy
• Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
• Fibromyalgia
• Neck & Back Pain
• Phantom Limb Pain
• Post Herpetic Neuralgia (Shingles Pain)
• Post Surgical Pain
• Pudendal Neuropathy
• Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
• Sciatica
• Trigeminal Neuralgia

In 2010 a pilot trial was set up for the Calmare pain therapy treatment. The details can be found in this report below:

“It is critical to the success of the treatment for the clinician to place the electrodes at the proper nerve zones to produce the best analgesia. The duration of the analgesic affect will depend upon how many zones were successfully engaged during the treatments. The type of cancer or the advanced stage of cancer does not allow long pauses of “no pain” periods. Similar to drug protocols, the patient is treated whenever the patient has pain present. The key to successful treatment is the proper training of the clinician.”
