The treatment protocol typically includes 10 consecutive sessions over two weeks
Each session is ~45 minutes each
Booster sessions are provided as needed

Your Patients Will Love Scrambler Therapy Too!
"For over 22 years, right hip pain plagued me due to Osteoarthritis. Medications like Norco® and a Fentanyl Patch left me sluggish and drugged. When the pain spread to my back and hands, meds weren't an option anymore. My doctor mentioned Scrambler Therapy®. After 6 months of waiting, I tried it. To my disbelief, the first treatment relieved my pain. My fingers went from claw like to functional, and life became manageable again. I restore antiques using my hands daily, and Scrambler Therapy® changed everything. Boosters make me feel even better. It's like a miracle—I've regained "ME." I cycle, ski, and live fully."
Gloria B. / Sandy, OR
"After my second session of Scrambler Therapy, I was at home and got up from a chair and got halfway across a room before I realized what I was doing. I Didn’t have any pain. I Didn’t struggle. I Didn’t grab my cane. I Didn’t think that was ever going to be possible again in my life.”
Tom / Portland, OR
"My chronic pain was so intense I lost my will to live. Over 30 doctors tried to alleviate the pain, but they could only provide slight, temporary relief. Over a two year timespan I went to over 350 medical visits, and had so many tests, injections, and nerve blocks I lost count. Then I learned of Scrambler Therapy. It sounded too good to be true given all the disappointments - I didn't believe there could be anything that could help. After 3 treatments I could walk normally again. By the end of the 10th treatment my pain was gone. Scrambler Therapy treatments, quite literally, saved my life."
Connor C. / McKinney, TX
“Had no hope of getting relief from the diabetic neuropathy in my feet. Now the pain,
burning and sensitivity is gone. Amazing.”
Bill / Portland, OR
"I felt so hopeless and helpless with my daughters chronic pain that was leaving her debilitated. Every option seemed worse than the next…surgery…possible addiction…drugs that would reduce her ability to live her life normally. We refused them all and we’re determined to grind it out with PT in hopes the pain would subside. We heard about scrambler therapy around 8 months into her ordeal. I was all for it…she was not. She was understandably afraid of it making her worse and also of me having paid the cost of it and it not working. Finally she agreed to at least give it a try. At first it really didn’t seem to be her answer. She experienced some relief, but it was minimal and short lived. We were encouraged by the stories of others success however so we decided to stick it out a while longer. On day nine while on the machine my daughter looked up and said that her pain was a “zero”. We got in the car to go home…both emotional. She looked me in the eye and said “it’s gone”. Chills ran down my spine. “What do you mean” I asked. “I mean it’s gone Mom. It’s not coming back.” She was right; it was gone and it has not come back. Scrambler therapy was nothing short of a miracle treatment for my daughter. There isn’t a day that goes by that I am not grateful for her having her life back pain free."

What conditions does Scrambler Therapy treat?
Scrambler Therapy offers relief for a diverse range of severe conditions but predominantly Chronic Neuropathic Pain, Chronic Opioid-Resistant Pain, and Chronic Oncologic Pain.
Not sure what type of pain your condition falls under? That's ok! Here is a list of common conditions Scrambler Therapy can help with:
Is Scrambler Therapy different from electrical stimulation?
Yes, it is an entirely different treatment. While both Scrambler Therapy and traditional electrical stimulation techniques (i.e. TENS) use non-invasive methods involving skin electrodes, their similarities end there. Traditional electrical stimulation aims to provide immediate but temporary relief by blocking pain signals before they reach the brain. Scrambler Therapy goes a step further. It focuses on altering the pain signals themselves. It 'teaches' your nervous system to send normal signals instead of pain signals, targeting the problem at its source for a much long-lasting solution.
Quick Comparison Chart
Is Scrambler Therapy effective for all types of pain?
Scrambler Therapy is most effective for chronic neuropathic and certain types of oncologic pain, where it excels by altering the pain signals at their source. It's specifically designed to treat conditions such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, and pain from cancer treatments like chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
While Scrambler Therapy has shown remarkable results in these areas, it's not universally effective for all pain types. Acute pain, mechanical pain due to structural issues, and non-neuropathic pain might not respond as well to this treatment. If you're unsure, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to assess whether Scrambler Therapy suits your specific condition. This way, you can be confident you are receiving the most appropriate and effective treatment for your pain.
Is Scrambler Therapy painful?
This is a common and understandable question for anyone considering a new treatment for chronic pain. The answer is reassuring: No. The treatment shouldn't be painful.
Most patients report experiencing a mild sensation, often described as a tingling or buzzing, where the electrodes are applied. This sensation is a part of the therapy's process of re-educating the nerves and should not be uncomfortable or painful.
We recognize that when you're already dealing with chronic pain, the last thing you want is a treatment that adds to your discomfort. We have patient comfort at the forefront of our service. If you have concerns about what you'll feel during Scrambler Therapy, we have a great Facebook group filled with users just like you! They can help talk through their experience with you!
Are there any side effects associated with Scrambler Therapy?
The treatment is well-regarded for its safety and minimal risk of side effects. Unlike many other pain management options, our's doesn't involve drugs, injections, or surgery, which significantly reduces the risk of complications or adverse reactions.
In rare instances, some might notice temporary redness or irritation at the electrode application sites. This typically resolves quickly without any need for treatment.
Side effects and risks don't have to be a barrier anymore for you to start living your life pain-free!
Can children undergo Scrambler Therapy?
Yes, children can receive Scrambler Therapy as a treatment for chronic pain. This therapy offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to pain management, making it suitable for young patients.
The process (involving the application of electrodes to the skin to deliver non-painful stimuli) is actually very well-tolerated by children.
How many appointments do you need for Scrambler Therapy?
The number of Scrambler Therapy sessions required can vary depending on your specific condition and how you respond to the treatment. Typically, a standard course of Scrambler Therapy includes 10 sessions spread out over two weeks. Each session lasts approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
It's important to remember that everyone's experience with pain is unique, and so is their response to treatment. Some individuals may notice improvement in their pain levels within the first few sessions. Others might need the full course to achieve total pain relief.
How quickly can I expect to see results from Scrambler Therapy?
Many patients notice an improvement in their pain levels after just a few sessions, with some experiencing relief immediately after the first treatment! The speed at which you'll see results can vary based on the type and severity of your condition.
We are passionate about getting you back to the things you love as quickly as possible.
