What is ARPneuro?
ARPneuro (NerveOTX) is a device that does two jobs. First, it identifies the source of your pain, finding injured tissues and damaged nerves that can’t communicate properly. After finding the root cause, your provider uses the device to treat the tissues with low-level electrical currents.
The electrical current produced by the ARPneuro (NerveOTX) device is designed to penetrate deep below the surface where it:
- Stimulates the nerves
- Creates new nerve communication
- Regulates the healing process
- Breaks down existing scar tissue
- Prevents new scarring
- Reduces inflammation
- Increases circulation
- Improves mobility
- Promotes healing
- Relaxes muscles
- Prevents muscle loss (from lack of use)
Your ARPneuro therapy is combined with carefully designed range-of-motion and exercise techniques to speed your recovery. Many people can avoid surgery after ARPneuro treatment.
When would I need ARPneuro treatment?
ARPneuro is safe for all ages and can help anyone with a musculoskeletal injury or disease. For example, ARPneuro improves healing and pain in people with arthritis, ligament tears, meniscus injuries, and neurological disorders.
ARPneuro (NerveOTX) helps people going through rehab after orthopedic surgery. Your provider could also recommend ARPneuro (NerveOTX) sessions before athletic activities. As the electrical current relaxes muscles, they’re better able to absorb the force created when you move, which prevents injuries and reduces pain caused by intense muscle activity.
Electrical stimulation is especially beneficial for diseases, injuries, and surgeries that increase your risk for muscle loss (atrophy). Athletes often experience significant muscle loss and weakness after surgery to reconstruct their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Getting ARPneuro (NerveOTX) therapy not only prevents muscle loss but also boosts muscle strength.
FIX Medical Group advises against this treatment if you have an implanted electrical device like a pacemaker, a history of blood clots, or you’re pregnant.
What should I expect during ARPneuro treatments?
During your first appointment, your FIX Medical Group provider carefully evaluates your body and identifies problem areas. Then your ongoing sessions include two parts: electrical treatment and exercise.
Your provider also discusses lifestyle habits that support your treatment sessions. They give you nutritional advice and recommend healthy meals containing the nutrients and proteins your body needs to heal. Sometimes, they’ll ask you to temporarily increase your protein intake.
Don’t keep struggling with pain or put up with a long recovery. Call FIX Medical Group today or request an appointment online to discover if ARPneuro (NerveOTX) can help.
Frequently Asked Questions About ARP Wave Therapy
Is ARPneuro Therapy painful?
ARPneuro Therapy is usually well tolerated, but the electrical stimulation can feel intense or unfamiliar at first. The treatment is adjusted to your comfort level, goals, and condition. Most patients describe it as strong muscle activation rather than traditional pain.
What is ARPneuro Therapy used for?
ARPneuro Therapy may be used as part of a rehabilitation plan for muscle weakness, limited mobility, pain after injury, post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, chronic tightness, and poor movement patterns. At FIX Medical Group in San Diego, it is typically combined with guided movement and functional rehab.
How is ARPneuro Therapy different from a TENS unit?
A TENS unit is generally used for temporary pain relief. ARPneuro Therapy is a form of neuromuscular electrical stimulation that is often paired with active movement to help identify compensation patterns, activate muscles, improve mobility, and support better function during rehab.
How many ARPneuro Therapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your condition, pain level, injury history, movement limitations, and goals. Some patients need a short series of treatments, while others benefit from a longer rehab plan. Your provider will recommend a schedule after evaluating how your body responds.
How long does it take to see results from ARPneuro Therapy?
Some patients feel a change in mobility, muscle activation, or pain after the first few sessions. Longer-term improvement usually depends on consistency, the severity of the condition, and whether ARPneuro Therapy is combined with corrective exercises and rehab.
Can ARPneuro Therapy be combined with sports therapy?
Yes. ARPneuro Therapy is often used with sports therapy and functional rehabilitation. The stimulation can help activate muscles and expose compensation patterns, while rehab exercises help your body relearn better movement and build lasting strength.
Can ARPneuro Therapy help speed recovery after surgery?
ARPneuro Therapy may be recommended as part of a post-surgical rehab plan to support muscle activation, mobility, circulation, and movement retraining. Your provider will determine when it is appropriate based on your procedure, healing stage, and surgeon guidance.
How soon can I return to normal activities after treatment?
Many patients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment, although soreness or fatigue can happen as the body adapts. Return to sports, workouts, or demanding activity depends on your condition and the treatment plan your provider recommends.
Can ARPneuro Therapy improve muscle strength and mobility?
ARPneuro Therapy may help improve muscle activation, range of motion, strength, and movement control when used as part of a complete rehab program. This can be especially helpful for patients who feel weak, guarded, stiff, or stuck after an injury.
Is ARPneuro Therapy good for athletes and active adults in San Diego?
It can be a helpful option for athletes, weekend warriors, and active adults who want to recover from injury, improve movement, or address recurring pain without relying only on rest or medication. It is often used for people who want to get back to training, surfing, hiking, golf, pickleball, or daily activity.
Are there side effects or reasons to avoid ARPneuro Therapy?
Some patients may feel temporary muscle soreness, fatigue, or sensitivity after treatment. ARPneuro Therapy may not be appropriate for everyone, including certain patients with implanted electrical devices, specific medical conditions, or pregnancy. A provider should review your health history before treatment.
What happens during the first ARPneuro Therapy visit?
Your first visit typically includes a discussion of your symptoms, movement evaluation, and a guided treatment session. The provider places electrodes in targeted areas, adjusts the stimulation, and may guide you through specific movements to help identify pain sources, compensation patterns, and muscle activation issues.
