Why You Should Consider 3PD Treatment for Your Chronic Pain
If you suffer from chronic pain, you know that finding an effective treatment can be challenging. You may have tried various medications, physical therapy, or surgery, and yet your pain persists. However, there is a treatment option that you may not have considered: 3PD treatment. In this article, we will explore what 3PD treatment is, how it works, and why you should consider it for your chronic pain.
Understanding 3PD Treatment
3PD treatment stands for “Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation.” It is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing small electrical wires, or leads, under the skin to stimulate peripheral nerves. These nerves are responsible for carrying pain signals from the body to the brain. By electrically stimulating these nerves, the brain receives different signals, resulting in reduced pain perception.
How 3PD Treatment Works
The procedure involves inserting small leads into the skin near the area where you experience chronic pain. These leads are placed in specific locations, based on the type and location of your pain. After the leads are inserted, a low-level electrical current is delivered to them through a small external generator. This electrical current causes the nerves to release natural pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins, which reduce pain perception.
The Benefits of 3PD Treatment
One of the primary benefits of 3PD treatment is that it is minimally invasive. Unlike surgery, there are no incisions, and recovery time is minimal. 3PD treatment also has a low risk of complications, making it a safe option for many patients. Additionally, the treatment is adjustable and can be customized to the patient’s specific needs. The generator can be turned up or down, and the leads can be adjusted to target different nerves, making it a versatile treatment option.
Case Studies
Numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of 3PD treatment for chronic pain. In one study, 64% of patients experienced pain relief of 50% or more, and 36% of patients achieved complete pain relief after undergoing 3PD treatment for low back pain (1). Another study found that 3PD treatment was effective for treating chronic leg pain, resulting in an average pain reduction of 58% (2). These studies demonstrate the potential efficacy of 3PD treatment for a range of chronic pain conditions.
Conclusion
If you are living with chronic pain, 3PD treatment may be a viable option for you. This minimally invasive treatment targets peripheral nerves, producing natural pain relief chemicals that reduce pain perception. It is a safe and adjustable treatment option that has been shown to be effective in managing chronic pain. Talk to your doctor about whether 3PD treatment is right for you.
