Percutaneous neuromodulation (PNM) is a strategic tool for the rapid and complete recovery from pain conditions, muscle dysfunctions, and neuropathies.
PNM is an advanced technique that allows for targeted stimulation of peripheral nerves, promoting effective sensory and motor responses. It is part of the field of invasive physiotherapy, a specialty that requires specific training and ongoing theoretical and practical education.
Using an ultrasound scanner, the physiotherapist inserts thin, sterile, single-use needles, similar to those used in acupuncture, to deliver low-voltage electrical stimulation. This process precisely modulates nerve and muscle pathways, offering a solution even when traditional therapies have proven ineffective.
The Benefits of Percutaneous Neuromodulation
PNM is a pain-free, safe, and well-tolerated treatment that can:
- Reduce chronic pain by directly acting on nerve pathways
- Improve muscle function through tissue stimulation
- Accelerate recovery after injuries or surgeries
- Enhance nerve transmission in peripheral neuropathies
- Rebalance the autonomic nervous system, with positive effects on neurovegetative disorders
Thanks to its high level of precision, PNM is a powerful option for treating pain conditions, muscle dysfunctions, and neuropathies effectively and quickly.
Applications of PNM
Chronic Pain Management
PNM is especially effective for treating low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, and myofascial pain syndrome, helping to modulate and desensitize the nerve pathways responsible for pain perception.
Sports Recovery
In sports, PNM is used to shorten recovery times after injury and manage chronic conditions such as tendinopathies, groin pain, and overuse syndromes.
Peripheral Neuropathies
In cases of nerve compression (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome, thoracic outlet syndrome, or ulnar nerve compression), PNM improves nerve signaling, reduces inflammation, and eases disabling symptoms.
Post-Traumatic and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Following injury or surgery, PNM helps restore muscle strength and function by reactivating inhibited or weakened muscles.
Autonomic Nervous System Regulation
NMP rebalances sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system functions, benefiting patients with functional and neurovegetative disorders.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
One of the most impactful areas of application is pelvic dysfunction treatment. NMP has shown high efficacy in treating:
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Sexual dysfunctions (e.g., vulvodynia, erectile dysfunction)
- Urinary and fecal incontinence
- Pelvic organ prolapse
Stimulating key nerves such as the pudendal, sciatic, femoral, and gluteal nerves, NMP helps restore proper pelvic muscle function, greatly enhancing quality of life and overall well-being.
Why Choose NMP at the Kinetic Center?
NMP requires thorough clinical assessment by physiotherapists trained in invasive physiotherapy and ultrasound-guided techniques.
Thanks to ultrasound guidance, the treatment is targeted, safe, and minimally invasive, ensuring optimal results even in complex cases. Scientific studies confirm the effectiveness of NMP, particularly in conditions that are resistant to other therapies.
At the Kinetic Center in Lugano, our specialized physiotherapists will conduct a careful clinical evaluation and guide you through a personalized therapeutic path to restore your health and well-being.
