Diros Generator
Surgical Services
Learn More
This piece of equipment is a small generator, the size of a carry on suitcase. The machine uses radio waves to create a current that heats a small area of nerve tissue. The heat destroys that area of the nerve, stopping it from sending pain signals to your brain. The pain management techniques includes but is not limited to supporting clients with cervical pain, thoracic lumbar pain, sacroiliac pain, hip, knee and foot pain.
There are currently interventions in place for pain management, they include regular medication injections and pain medications. These are not the ideal situation, nor are they ideal from a system standpoint. Having the capacity to further eliminate the pain signals being sent would allow a more fulsome life with less time spent travelling and securing pain management.
