Redefining Pain Management If you or your child suffer from chronic migraines or persistent headaches, you know that medication isn’t always the answer. The Orthopedic Wellness Center is proud to offer Nerivio®—a discreet, wearable device that uses your body’s own nervous system to “turn off” pain signals.

Why Choose Nerivio?

Dual-Action Therapy

Use it for Acute Treatment (to stop a migraine in its tracks) or Prevention (used every other day to reduce the frequency of attacks).

100% Drug-Free

No systemic side effects, no risk of "rebound" medication-overuse headaches, and no grogginess.

Specialized for Concussion Recovery

By helping manage the headaches, patients experience decreased sensitivity to lights and noises, less cognitive impairment along with less dizziness and eye strain.

Safe for Ages 8+

The only FDA-cleared wearable of its kind for both adults and children, providing a safe alternative for young athletes and students.

How It Works: Technology You Can Wear Nerivio is worn on the upper arm and controlled via a simple smartphone app. It uses Remote Electrical Neuromodulation (REN) to send gentle signals to your brain’s pain-regulation center. This triggers the release of natural neurotransmitters that block pain signals throughout the body.

  • Discreet: Fits easily under a sleeve so you can go about your day during the 45-minute treatment.
  • Rechargeable: Designed for portability and ease of use at home, school, or work.

Important Safety Information Nerivio is a prescription device. It should not be used by individuals with uncontrolled epilepsy or those with active implantable medical devices, such as a pacemaker. During your consultation, our team will ensure Nerivio is the right fit for your clinical needs.
