Capital Region Calmare & Massage, a state-certified Women Business Enterprise (WBE) that is a licensed provider of innovative electrical stimulation (eSTIM) calmare treatment for neurologic pain, plans to open a new location at 800 Route 146, Suite 492, in Clifton Park.
\nThe office will be officially opened at ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, Jan. 21.
\nCalmare is a safe alternative treatment for those suffering from pain caused by a nerve. Approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration, used by the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins Medicine, it is said by providers to be effective in four of five cases.
\nCalmare uses an eSTIM machine to relieve the pain caused by fibromyalgia, migraines, sciatica, neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and other nerve-related ailments, while also helping patients avoid invasive surgical procedures and prescription medications, including opioids.
\n\u201cI am thrilled to offer the benefits of Calmare treatment to patients throughout the Capital Region,\u201d said Laura Brown, PT, LMT, and owner of Capital Region Calmare & Massage. \u201cI\u2019ve seen firsthand the extraordinary pain relief it\u2019s provided to individuals who have tried traditional treatments, sometimes for years, without success. There is no better feeling than giving someone his or her life back by re-introducing them to a world without pain, and to do so without any side effects, drugs or surgical procedures is a huge benefit.\u201d
\nDuring Calmare treatment, electrodes are attached to the area(s) of a patient\u2019s body that require attention. Those electrodes send vibrations\u2014artificial neurons\u2014to the affected areas, where they interact with and affect the C-fiber of the nerve, in essence \u201cresetting the pain signal.\u201d In 80 percent of cases, said Brown, patients experience pain relief during the initial session, with follow-up treatments conducted until pain has been fully alleviated.
\nSince opioids are typically prescribed for pain relief, Calmare can have a significant impact on reducing the use of opioids, which has become an epidemic both locally and nationally. In addition, as pharmaceutical interventions for pain have been shown to increase the chances of contracting COVID-19, Calmare provides an effective method for treating pain without incurring additional risk, according to the treatment center.
