NEUBIE technology targets neurological conditions, alleviates pain, and quickly restores movement and functionality in patients. Calibration Physical Therapy’s NEUBIE (Neuro-Bio-Electric Stimulation) therapy provides a more targeted approach to pain management and rehabilitation. With this advanced NEUBIE technology, our team can develop comprehensive treatment plans that help you regain confidence and mobility faster.
What is the NEUBIE and How Does it Work?
The NEUBIE is a patented electrical stimulation (e-stim) device created by NeuFit. It sends mild electrical pulses through the skin to stimulate injured muscle and nerve tissue, easing pain. Unlike other e-stim therapies that use alternating currents, the NEUBIE device uses a pulsed direct current waveform.
These electrical pulses stimulate your central nervous system, prompting your nerves to contract or relax the surrounding muscle fibers. Repeated muscular contractions improve blood flow to the area, supplying oxygen to the injured tissue and helping it repair itself faster. It can also help strengthen your muscles, which is beneficial when re-learning basic movements during rehabilitation.
4 Benefits of Using the NEUBIE Device for Physical Therapy
1. The NEUBIE Rewires the Nervous System
While traditional rehab therapy often focuses solely on muscles, NEUBIE therapy targets the nervous system directly. It helps your physical therapist detect trigger points more quickly and treat injured tissue with greater precision than many other treatments. Essentially, the NEUBIE’s bioelectricity “re-educates” the nervous system to help overcome neurological imbalances and disorders.
2. The NEUBIE Identifies the Root Cause of Pain
Placing NEUBIE electrodes on your skin during exercise helps physical therapists identify the underlying neurological causes of your pain. Its unrivaled accuracy saves time during diagnosis, helping your PT create personalized treatment plans for faster recovery. The NEUBIE device retrains your nerves, correcting dysfunction that causes pain and helping your body relearn how to move comfortably.
3. The NEUBIE Strengthens Muscles and Prevents Atrophy
When the NEUBIE sends electrical impulses to the nervous system, the muscle fibers surrounding your nerves contract and relax. Repeated muscle contractions strengthen the muscles, making exercise and everyday movement easier. Muscular strengthening is vital for preventing atrophy after an injury that prevents regular muscle use. Many athletes use NEUBIE therapy to overcome fatigue and pain, enhancing their physical performance.
4. The NEUBIE Improves Blood Circulation
Sending electrical impulses into the body stimulates your circulatory system, improving blood flow to muscles and other tissues. Better circulation helps your blood vessels transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body more quickly, speeding recovery after injury. A new study also suggests that electrical stimulation therapy, such as NEUBIE treatments, increases blood vessel permeability, accelerating wound healing.
What to Expect From NEUBIE Treatment
NEUBIE technology is safe and effective, working similarly to other e-stim therapies, such as TENS and EMS. First, your physical therapist will attach small electrodes to your skin at the site of your pain or injury. These small electrodes attach painlessly and are easy to remove. Once the electrodes are in place, you’ll perform everyday movements or exercises under professional supervision.
After the NEUBIE helps your physical therapist identify the cause of your pain, we start retraining the nerves and muscles to function at their best. Our patients often notice visible results after just one session with the NEUBIE!
