At Renewed Vitality, we constantly strive to provide you with the latest advancements in medical care to enhance your quality of life.
That’s why we have expanded our range of services to include a new fibromyalgia treatment: Quell® Fibromyalgia.
What is the Quell Fibromyalgia device?
This is the first FDA-authorized medical device to help relieve the symptoms of fibromyalgia. And Renewed Vitality is one of the first practices in Texas to offer this exciting technology to our patients.
- You wear this device on your body (upper calf) and control it via a mobile app.
- It’s noninvasive and drug-free.
- You can hide the device under your clothes.
- You can use it day and night.
- It stimulates nerves to send signals to the brain.
- This may help reduce pain sensitivity and other fibromyalgia symptoms.
How does the device work?
Quell aims to provide relief by enhancing the body’s natural pain management systems. It does this through Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS).
TENS is a therapy that uses low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain. The device delivers these electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin near the affected area. The electrical impulses stimulate the sensory nerves, which can reduce the perception of pain in several ways:
- Blocking Pain Signals: TENS works by interrupting the transmission of pain signals to the brain. By stimulating nerves, the device may block or reduce the number of pain messages that reach the brain through the spinal cord.
- Endorphin Release: TENS may also trigger the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. These endorphins can help mitigate pain perception and improve a person’s overall comfort level.
- Increasing Blood Flow: TENS devices can promote better circulation in the affected area, which can support healing and relieve tension.
Is Quell Fibromyalgia covered by insurance?
Insurance does not cover the Quell Fibromyalgia device yet. However, for a limited time, we are offering the starter kit for a low price. This kit includes everything you need to evaluate the device for 30 days.
If you’re struggling with fibromyalgia and you’re interested in trying this new non-invasive, drug-free treatment, please contact the office to see if a prescription is right for you. We look forward to the opportunity to enhance your quality of life through this exciting addition to our practice!
