Description
Pre-programmed NMES for back and core muscles
The NeuroMD uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) with pre-programmed, clinically studied parameters to stimulate nerves and cause muscle contractions in the area of discomfort. A rechargeable LCD remote controls it, and it comes with a treatment protocol and exercise guide.
Sessions run 25 minutes, and the reusable gel pads last about 20 to 30+ applications. NeuroMD describes it as an FDA-cleared Class II device and advises against use with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, during pregnancy unless directed by a physician, or on children.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Who should not use it?
NeuroMD's precautions say not to use it if you have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other implanted electronic device, or are connected to high frequency surgical equipment. It also says not to use it if you are pregnant or suspect you are, unless under a physician's direction, if you are susceptible to heart rhythm disturbances unless directed by your physician, or on children.
Where must I not place the pads?
Do not use it over your eyes, mouth, face, front of neck, head, chest, or across your heart, which could cause severe muscle spasms and breathing difficulty. Do not use it over metallic implants, near cancerous lesions, over open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or inflamed skin, including phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, and varicose veins, or on abnormal or unclean skin.
When must I not use it?
Not while driving, operating machinery, sleeping, in the bath or shower or near other moisture, or during any activity where stimulation could cause injury. Do not use it in the presence of electronic monitoring equipment such as cardiac monitors or ECG alarms, or within about 1 m of shortwave or microwave therapy equipment.
What conditions need a physician first?
NeuroMD says to follow your physician's precautions if you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease or epilepsy, to use caution if you tend to bleed internally (for example after an injury or fracture), and to consult your physician before use after a recent surgical procedure, because stimulation accelerates healing. Consult your physician first if you are in a physician's care.
When should I stop using it?
Stop and consult your physician if your pain does not improve, becomes more than mild, or continues for more than five days.
Is it FDA cleared?
NeuroMD describes its Corrective Therapy Device as an FDA-cleared Class II medical device with pre-programmed, clinically studied NMES parameters. A 510(k) number was not confirmed for this listing.
How is it used?
NeuroMD's schedule is 25-minute sessions: Mode 1 for 4 to 7 days a week in week 1, Mode 2 for 6 to 7 days a week in weeks 2 to 12, then Mode 2 for 2 to 4 days a week for maintenance. Follow the guide that comes with the device.
How do I charge it, and how long do the pads last?
One dual-ended cable charges the device and the remote. NeuroMD suggests charging the kit every 3 to 6 months if you do not use it often. The gel pads last about 20 to 30+ applications.
