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.”
Scrambler therapy painlessly gets the brain’s pain signals back on track.
Since 2011, we have performed non-invasive, drug-free pain management using a scrambler therapy medical device to significantly reduce or eliminate medication and treatment-resistant and/or medication-resistant chronic nerve pain.
Today, we are the only US Scrambler Therapy provider dedicated 100% to performing this pain management therapy.
Every treatment at Scrambler Therapy NJ USA is performed exclusively by Clinical Director and Certified Scrambler Therapy expert, Dr. Jason Cooney, DC.
NOTE: FDA-cleared scrambler therapy is a “provider dependent” therapy–the success of your 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.
Ensure your provider has advanced expertise and success in treating your specific nerve pain condition.

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.
One of the most important advantages of Scrambler Therapy is what patients typically do not experience during treatment: the side effects commonly associated with prescription pain medications, injections, or invasive procedures.
Because Scrambler Therapy is non-invasive and drug-free, patients generally avoid complications such as drowsiness, nausea, constipation, brain fog, dependency, or medication tolerance often associated with long-term pain management.
Most patients tolerate treatment very well. Some may experience mild temporary skin irritation from the electrodes or short-term fatigue after a session, but serious adverse side effects are rare.
Patients remain awake and alert during treatment and can typically drive themselves to and from appointments.
No. The MC-5A neuromodulation medical 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.

Insurance coverage for Scrambler Therapy varies by provider and plan, and is unlikely to be covered here in the US, in most cases.
However, we encourage all patients to contact their insurance carrier directly regarding potential reimbursement.
*The CPT billing code for scrambler therapy is (0278T)
Please note that while we are happy to supply any necessary documentation for you to receive coverage or post-treatment reimbursement, our practice does not directly oversee insurance verification, authorization or reimbursement efforts. This is handled by the patient or family of the patient.
Via our exclusive Patient-2-Patient Program, we will put you in touch with one of our post-treatment patient volunteers who was previously treated for the same or a similar neuropathic condition you are currently battling.
By phone, email or social media, you can talk about your concerns, ask questions, get informed with non-clinical feedback from our patient.
Note: Our P-2-P patient volunteers are not compensated and are not medical professionals. They cannot offer commentary or advice about your medical care or treatment.
In addition, we may not have a previous patient who has experienced the specific neuropathic pain condition you have; however, we will make every effort to match you with another patient who is close in age, condition and overall health status.
