There’s Another Way to Handle Chronic Pain

The Only Practice in the DC–Maryland–Virginia Area Offering mPNS Therapy

Living with chronic pain can affect every part of your life — your sleep, your mood, and your ability to do everyday activities. Many people try medications, injections, or even consider surgery without feeling truly better.

At Capital Interventional Pain & Spine Center, we offer Magnetic Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (mPNS) — a non-invasive, FDA-cleared therapy designed to reduce chronic pain without surgery, needles, or additional medications.

If you’re looking for a treatment that is effective, comfortable, and doesn’t require downtime, mPNS may be an option for you.

Why mPNS Is Different from Everything Else You've Tried

Traditional pain treatments often involve medications with unwanted side effects or surgeries that require recovery time and carry risks. mPNS works differently.

It uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate peripheral nerves in the areas where you experience pain. This helps “reset” overactive nerve pathways that continue sending pain signals even when there is no ongoing tissue injury.

Here's what you're NOT dealing with:

Most patients find sessions comfortable and even relaxing.

Who Actually Benefits from This?

mPNS is FDA-cleared for adults 18 and older and is often recommended for individuals who have:

It can also be helpful for patients who want to reduce their reliance on pain medications or who want to avoid surgery.

Why Capital Interventional Pain & Spine Center for mPNS?

The Science Behind It (Simple Version)

Chronic pain can occur when nerves continue sending signals to the brain long after an injury has healed. This creates a “pain loop” in the nervous system.

mPNS uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate the peripheral nerves near the painful area. This process:

Different coil designs allow us to treat various body regions effectively.
