For some people, the brain never sends the all-important message – “There’s no more injury here, we’re healed, so you can stop sending that pain signal.”
Calmare painlessly sets the brain straight.
We perform pain management using the MC-5A Calmare scrambler therapy device to significantly reduce or eliminate medication and treatment-resistant chronic pain. This device has earned FDA clearance in the US and several other countries around the world.
Our clinical director, Dr. Michael Cooney, has successfully treated more than 1,200 patients after completing extensive scrambler therapy clinical training in 2010.
Dr. Cooney also acts as a trainer for new Calmare providers around the US and the world.
Calmare’s scrambler therapy has been effective in treating multiple types of chronic nerve pain, including the conditions noted below:
Please contact our clinic at (201) 933-4440 to discuss if your condition may be appropriate for treatment.
Scrambler therapy is not suited for everyone, including:
This treatment has been used in the U.S. for several years and has been cleared by the FDA. Calmare has been performed successfully in Europe for more than 15 years. It has no side effects, is painless to undergo and completely non-invasive.
Thousands of people have benefited from Calmare Pain Therapy Treatment with no reported side-effects other than a “humming” sensation during treatment.
No. The Calmare MC-5A device creates a low energy electrical impulse which travels through the patient’s nerves delivering a “no-pain” signal to the brain.
This scrambles (disrupts) the brain’s misfiring pain signal that the area of pain is normal and eventually results in prolonged pain relief.
TENS units are self-use devices that can temporarily lessen pain but when discontinued provide no lasting pain resolution.

After your initial consultation, our standard protocol is 10 consistent treatments over a two-week period.
Subsequent booster treatments, performed months or years later, may be required for people who have severe or long-term pain.
Several patient-specific factors determine how quickly pain relief will commence. Some experience pain relief as early as their first session. Most patients begin to see results after treatment 4/10. As the treatments continue, patients will also experience a longer duration of pain relief.

Upon acceptance in the program, patients will pre-pay for the treatment series (10 treatments is standard). If there is a financial hardship in the family, we will make every effort to work with you. We accept cash or checks. There is a 4% fee for credit card payments.
We also offer CareCredit, for patients and families who may wish to pay for their therapy on a monthly basis by establishing an account with this health and wellness credit provider.
Every treatment at Calmare Therapy NJ USA is performed exclusively by Dr. Michael Cooney on a Monday-Friday basis and lasts approximately 30-35 minutes per session.
NOTE: Calmare is a “provider dependent” therapy; the success of the treatment is dependent on the carefully calculated (optimal) placement of each of the treatment leads in accordance with the location of the original pain, injury or surgical site. Learn more: What is a Provider Dependent Therapy?
