ANR
Innovative Nerve Stimulation to Support Healing and Improve Movement
If you're living with neuropathy or nerve-related symptoms, you know how frustrating it can be when pain, numbness, or balance problems interfere with your daily life. At deBorja Physical Therapy, we combine advanced technology with personalized physical therapy to help address the underlying causes of nerve dysfunction.
The StimPod NMS460 is an FDA-cleared device that uses pulsed radiofrequency nerve stimulation to support healthy nerve communication. When integrated into a customized rehabilitation program, it can help patients improve function, move with greater confidence, and work toward lasting recovery.
Understanding the StimPod NMS460
The StimPod NMS460 is an advanced, FDA-cleared device that delivers pulsed radiofrequency stimulation to targeted nerve pathways.
Unlike traditional TENS units that primarily provide temporary surface-level pain relief, the StimPod NMS460 is designed to stimulate affected nerves and support communication between the brain and the areas of the body impacted by nerve dysfunction.
At deBorja Physical Therapy, this technology is used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan—not as a standalone solution. Angie deBorja combines the StimPod NMS460 with hands-on physical therapy, movement training, and individualized rehabilitation strategies to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes. Every treatment plan is based on a thorough evaluation to determine whether this technology is appropriate for your specific condition and recovery goals.

What is John Barnes Myofascial Release®?
John Barnes Myofascial Release® is a specialized form of manual therapy that uses gentle, sustained pressure to release restrictions within the body's fascial system. The goal is to reduce pain, improve movement, and address the underlying cause of dysfunction rather than simply treating symptoms.
What are the benefits of Myofascial Release®?
Many patients experience improvements in pain, mobility, posture, flexibility, sleep, and overall function. Treatment may also help reduce inflammation, ease stress, decrease the frequency of flare-ups, improve participation in exercise, and make everyday activities more comfortable.
What conditions can John Barnes Myofascial Release® help treat?
This approach is commonly used to treat chronic pain, scar tissue restrictions, headaches, neck and back pain, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, post-surgical tightness, breast cancer rehabilitation, radiation fibrosis, lymphedema, plantar fasciitis, TMJ disorders, and many other conditions involving fascial restrictions.
How often will I need treatment?
Every patient responds differently. Some individuals benefit from weekly sessions over several months, while others achieve their goals with fewer visits. Your treatment frequency will be based on your evaluation, symptoms, and personal recovery goals.
Is Myofascial Release® painful?
John Barnes Myofascial Release® uses gentle, sustained pressure rather than aggressive force. While some areas may feel tender as restrictions begin to release, treatment is designed to work with your body's natural healing process and is generally well tolerated.
What makes the John Barnes approach different from other manual therapies?
The John Barnes Myofascial Release Approach® looks beyond the location of your pain to identify the true source of dysfunction. By treating the entire mind-body system rather than isolated symptoms, this approach aims to create more lasting improvements in movement, comfort, and overall function.
