The benefits of Axon Therapy to treat chronic neuropathy pain are being shared across the country.

The New York Harbor VA began using Axon Therapy. Some VA medical centers are beginning a contract to begin Axon therapy, while others physicians are learning its capabilities.

“In a large organization such as VA, changes can take a while to adopt,” said Dr. Marshall Bedder, Chief of Pain Medicine at VA Augusta Health Care System. “Overall I do see a growing interest in magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation (mPNS), a very effective noninvasive option for painful neuropathic pain.”

Dr. Bedder will present at the Puget Sound VA in Seattle this week, and at the Miami VA in late December. Also, he will present to the Advanced Rehabilitation Center, the Intrepid Center, located on the grounds of Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas next week.
