Pain Management Technology in Columbus

A Modern Option for Pain Relief and Better Circulation

Woman with knee pain Sometimes pain is stubborn. It flares up, sticks around, or just doesn’t respond the way you hoped. When that happens, it helps to have more than one tool in the toolbox. At our Upper Arlington location, Dr. Jay offers pain management technology using the Matrix by Neuromed. This service combines a stimulation effect for pain relief with a gentle suction “cupping” effect to increase blood flow.

The goal? Help your body calm discomfort while supporting healthier circulation in the area that’s been struggling.

How It Works and Why It Feels Different

Matrix by Neuromed is what’s called vaso-pneumatic, which means it supports both circulation and comfort at the same time. The suction component pulls blood flow into the area, helping bring nutrients in and supporting the healing process. The stimulation component helps reduce pain signals and relax tissues that feel tight or overworked. It also runs at a much higher pulse rate than typical home units, which is one reason patients often notice a difference quickly.

Who It May Help

This technology gets used a lot for people dealing with neuropathy concerns, as well as knee or shoulder discomfort and other areas that have taken a beating over time. It can also be helpful when muscles feel overly tight or “revved up,” especially after an injury or when your body is flaring during care. Depending on what you need, it may be used on its own or paired with services like shockwave therapy or cold laser therapy. The goal is always the same: give your body a better environment to heal.

What Your Session Will Look Like

The device looks like a wheeled unit with cords that attach to suction cups with soft sponges at the ends. These cups are placed either around or directly on the area being worked on. Most people describe the sensation as a mix of rhythmic pressure and gentle suction.

You may notice temporary redness or mild soreness afterward, similar to traditional cupping. Before starting, the team screens for contraindications, and this service is not used over open wounds or in areas where it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Matrix by Neuromed feel like?

Most people describe it as a mix of gentle suction and stimulation-style pulses. You may feel relaxed afterward, and mild redness can happen like it does with cupping.

Is this service safe for everyone?

Not always, which is why you’ll be screened first. The team avoids using it in situations where stim or suction wouldn’t be appropriate.

Is this covered by insurance?

It’s usually out of pocket, but we offer packages to make multi-visit care more manageable and affordable.
