NS100: A Non-Drug Option for Diabetic Nerve Pain in San Antonio

Burning, tingling, or shooting pain in your feet can make it hard to walk, sleep, or enjoy your day.

If you have diabetes, this nerve pain may keep coming back, even when your blood sugar is under control.

If medications haven’t brought enough relief, NS100 offers a different approach.

At our San Antonio office, we provide this non-drug nerve stimulation treatment to help calm overactive pain signals and improve daily comfort.

Diabetic neuropathy happens when high blood sugar damages your nerves over time. The nerves in your feet and legs may start sending the wrong signals. They may fire too often or at the wrong time.

This can cause:

• Pain
• Burning
• Tingling
• Numbness

The medical name for this is peripheral neuropathy. Even when your blood sugar improves, the pain signals may continue.

If nerve pain is affecting your sleep or daily routine, it may be time for a different approach. Our specialists begin by listening and performing a thorough evaluation, noting:

• When symptoms began
• How they feel
• What makes them worse
• What treatments you have already tried

This exam helps us decide if a non-drug nerve stimulation treatment may be right for you. These treatments work by calming the nerves that send pain signals.

NS100 is designed to quiet overactive nerve signals so you can feel more comfortable day to day.

It can give you:

• Less burning.
• Better sleep.
• More steady movement.

It works by gently stimulating key nerves linked to pain signals, without medication.

During treatment, a small device is placed on your ear. It gently stimulates certain nerves that affect how your body feels pain in your hands and feet. One of these nerves is the vagus nerve, which plays a role in pain and how your body responds to stress.

This gentle stimulation helps calm nerves that are sending too many pain signals. NS100 may also help your body release natural chemicals, like endorphins, that help reduce pain.

The NS100 device is placed during a brief office visit. A topical anesthetic is applied for comfort, and the device is positioned on the ear to deliver controlled nerve stimulation. The procedure does not involve surgery or permanent implants.

Once activated, the nerve stimulation device is worn behind the ear for up to 20 days. It begins working right away, and your doctor will give you simple instructions on how to care for the area and what to expect during treatment.

Some people feel real pain relief within a few days, and it may last for months. Others may need more than one treatment. Your doctor will check your progress and talk with you about the next steps based on how you respond.

Improved comfort and function are the goals of treatment.

For many people, diabetic neuropathy affects more than just pain. Neuropathy impacts:

• Sleep
• Mobility
• Balance

NS100 is used to help lower nerve pain. But it may also help you move more easily, sleep better, and get back to your normal daily life.

All medical treatments carry potential risks. With nerve stimulation therapies, side effects may include:

• Temporary discomfort at the treatment site
• Skin irritation
• Added sensitivity at the device’s location

Living with diabetic nerve pain doesn’t have to be your normal. NS100 may help reduce pain and improve comfort without adding more medication.

If you’re in San Antonio and struggling with diabetic nerve pain, schedule your appointment today. Our team can help you find out if NS100 may be the right option for you.
