PoNS™ TREATMENT

PoNS™ (short for Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator) is an innovative, non-surgical medical device that gently stimulates the surface of the tongue, exciting the neural network flowing to the brain. This neural activity is believed to enable neuroplasticity –  the ability of the brain to make adaptive changes related to the structure and function of the nervous system – which may restore lost function.

Used in conjunction with targeted therapeutic activities such as balance, gait and movement training, the PoNS™ has the potential to restore balance in individuals with chronic balance deficit due to a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury or concussion; and gait in individuals with gait deficit due to mild to moderate symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

Canadians living with persistent symptoms resulting from a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury or multiple sclerosis diagnosis. These individuals may notice a significant negative impact on their functional status, capacity to return to work and quality of life.

The PoNS™ device is intended for use in conjunction with physical therapy as a short-term (14-week) treatment of:

• Chronic balance deficit due to mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury
• Gait deficit due to mild and moderate symptoms from MS

It is indicated for individuals between 18 and 65 years of age. Set up a free consultation with us now to determine if PoNS™ is right for you.

Injury or disease can damage or disrupt the connections in the brain. By supporting the brain’s ability to rebuild connections, it may be possible for the brain to compensate for the damage caused by injury or disease. While this process typically happens over a long period of time, it may be accelerated by neuromodulation techniques that utilize non-surgical devices, such as PoNS™.

PoNS Treatment™ provides an innovative and effective therapy combining mild stimulation of the tongue with targeted therapeutic activities, which may create a neuroplastic effect that helps to improve balance and gait.

Approximately 74% of the TBI patients who completed the 14 weeks of PoNS Treatment™ in the Long-Term Treatment Trial experienced significant improvement in their balance¹. Patients also showed meaningful improvements in their gait and walking endurance².
