1 | Can you explain the Stimpod treatment that The Pain People consultants use?
Our Stimpod system essentially ‘blocks’ and ‘resets’ pain messages traveling through the nerve system, spinal cord, and brain, much like rebooting a computer’s system. Click here for our helpful explanation video.
2 | How safe is the treatment provided by The Pain People?
Absolutely safe and non-invasive. Our methodologies are not only affirmed by us but are also designated safe by NICE, a regulatory body overseeing the NHS.
3 | What conditions can be treated by your specialists?
Our unique, safe, and proven therapy can help manage and sometimes alleviate various types of chronic nerve pain, including sciatic pain, migraines, and other persistent pain issues.
4 | Are there conditions that The Pain People cannot treat?
While our therapy has brought relief to many, there are specific conditions or pain levels we may not be able to mitigate fully. In such cases, we uphold a transparent policy and redirect you to your GP for alternative approaches in the unlikely event that we feel we cannot bring you relief.

9 | How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments can depend on the specific condition and individual response to the therapy. We adhere to a policy of providing no more than three treatments if some relief is not achieved to uphold our commitment to genuine and effective care. Bear in mind that many people have walked away completely pain free after just one or two sessions.
10 | What should I expect during my treatment?
Expect a serene, professional environment where your comfort is paramount. Our therapists, possibly working around sensitive areas, prioritize your modesty and consistently check in with you during the therapy, ensuring a safe and comforting experience.
11 | Will I need to undress during my appointment?
It depends on the area being treated. For certain neuromodulation points, you might need to undress, but your modesty will be preserved using towels, and utmost professionalism will be maintained throughout the session. You may bring a family member, friend to be with you if you wish to support you.

12 | How do I know the treatment is right/safe for me?
Safety is at the core of our practice. An ‘informed consent’ form, clarifying all aspects of the treatment, ensures transparency and allows you to make a well-informed decision before commencing therapy. There's no pressure, no stress - our goal is to make you comfortable.
13 | Is there a scenario in which I may be ineligible for treatment?
Yes, individuals with pacemakers or certain electronic heart devices might be ineligible due to the electrical nature of the Stimpod technology utilised in the therapy
14 | What should I expect post-treatment?
Many clients experience immediate relief post-treatment, while for others, it might be gradual. Your therapist will provide tailored post-treatment advice and guidelines to enhance your recovery and comfort.

However, based on your specific condition and therapy details, your therapist might suggest short-term modifications or restrictions to activity or even suggest some gentle exercises. In most cases normal activities may be resumed after any treatment.
