How NMES Helps with Nerve Pain

A plain‑language guide to the science behind NeuroGo

Quick answer: How does NMES help nerve pain?

NMES improves blood flow, gives nerves more oxygen, and calms overactive pain signals. It uses gentle electrical pulses—like a light workout for your feet. Many people with neuropathy feel less burning and tingling after regular use.

(Also called: electrical stimulation for neuropathy, foot nerve stimulator, at‑home nerve stimulation device.)

Why does neuropathy cause burning and tingling in the feet?

Neuropathy pain often starts when nerves don’t get enough blood and oxygen. When that happens, nerves send mixed-up signals—that’s the burning, tingling, and sharp pain you feel.

  • Good blood flow keeps nerves fed with oxygen and nutrients
  • Poor flow starves nerves and can trigger constant pain messages
Think of a garden hose: when water flows, plants grow. When the hose is kinked, only a trickle gets through—and things dry out. Your nerves work the same way.

Key takeaways

  • Nerves need steady blood and oxygen
  • Low flow → mixed-up pain signals
  • Improve flow to help calm nerves

What is NMES treatment for nerve pain?

NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) sends safe, gentle pulses into your feet that make your muscles contract and relax—like a light workout while you sit.

Doctors and physical therapists have used this electrical therapy for years to improve circulation, keep muscles active, and reduce pain.

Also called: electrical stimulation therapy, nerve stimulation for feet.

In plain words

Gentle pulses
from NMES
Muscle squeezes

Better blood flow
oxygen + nutrients
Happier nerves
less pain

How does NMES help with neuropathy?

  • 1. Blood flow improves: little muscle squeezes act like a pump. More blood brings oxygen and nutrients to your nerves.
  • 2. Nerves begin to wake up: with better oxygen and gentle pulses, nerves learn to respond the right way again.
  • 3. Pain signals calm down: as nerves get stronger and blood keeps flowing, the mixed‑up pain signals begin to quiet.
In short: blood flow → nerves heal → pain relief

NMES vs TENS: What’s the difference?

TENS

Blocks pain signals for a short time. Helpful for temporary relief.

NMES

Activates muscles to boost circulation and support nerve health for longer-term relief.

Does NMES really work for nerve pain?

Yes—doctors have trusted NMES for years in clinics. Research shows it can help:

  • Reduce burning pain and sleep problems in people with neuropathy
  • Move more blood into the feet and legs
  • Keep muscles active

How long does NMES take to work?

Some people feel relief quickly. Others need more time. Most notice changes around weeks 3–4 when they use NMES twice daily for 15 minutes and make small healthy changes (better diet, short walks, better sleep).

Daily plan for best results

  • NMES: 15 minutes, twice daily
  • Short walk: 5–10 minutes
  • Hydration: drink water regularly
  • Better bedtime: relax before sleep

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Most people feel gentle tingling or pulsing. You can set the strength to what feels right.

TENS masks pain for a short time. NMES activates muscles and improves blood flow, which supports your nerves.

No. A grounding mat is a passive device that connects you to the earth but does not stimulate your muscles or circulation. NeuroGo uses NMES (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) to gently activate the muscles in your feet and legs, which helps improve blood flow and support nerve health. It’s an active therapy device, not a grounding product.
