ReBuilder
ReBuilder is an innovative and non-invasive handheld device cleared by the FDA for the treatment of pain. It is specifically designed to treat neuropathy by stimulating the nerves and muscles, as well as restoring normal plus-minus polarity along the nerve axes and dendrites. ReBuilder works on three separate levels and can help bypass the synaptic cleft responsible for neuropathy and can lead to reduced pain and increased functionality.
How is it used?
At our clinic in Tønsberg we use Rebuilder in water for increased stimulation, and we use it for both hands and feet. You sit with your hands or feet in a lukewarm water bath with two electrodes. During the treatment you will feel a weak current, which gradually decreases. The treatment lasts about 15-20 minutes.
NOTE: We often see that patients with neuropathy will need regular treatment with Rebuilder for pain relief.
Are there any disadvantages?
Disadvantages of using ReBuilder include that it can be time-consuming and require regular treatment to achieve long-term pain relief. Some patients may experience mild discomfort during treatment. ReBuilder should not be used by people with pacemakers or other electrical medical devices, and it should not be used by pregnant women or people with epilepsy without first consulting a specialist.
What symptoms can the treatment reduce?
ReBuilder is used to relieve symptoms such as:
-
burning or stabbing nerve pain
-
tingling or “tingling”
-
numbness
-
decreased sensation in feet or hands
-
muscle weakness related to nerve damage
