The Nervy Back Brace combines three non-drug, surface-based modalities in one integrated, patient-controlled system: phototherapy, low-level electrical stimulation with iontophoresis, and gentle heat.

Each modality provides a different form of stimulation to the treatment area and can be controlled by the user during a session.

1. Phototherapy

The Nervy SpineBelt uses selected wavelengths of red and near-infrared light delivered to the skin through integrated light sources.

670nm red light: This wavelength has been studied for its potential to support superficial tissue responses.

870nm and 904nm (near-infrared light): These wavelengths have been studied for their potential to increase tissue oxygenation.

The Nervy SpineBelt combines these wavelengths in a convenient, wearable format, allowing light to be delivered directly to the selected area during use.

2. Low-Level Electrical Stimulation with Iontophoresis

The Nervy SpineBelt incorporates low-level electrical stimulation delivered through surface electrodes.

The system uses multiple electrical currents to provide a controlled electrical stimulus. Stimulation intensity and session duration can be adjusted by the user.

The device also incorporates aqueous magnesium-based iontophoresis. Iontophoresis uses a low-level electrical current to facilitate the movement of electrically charged substances across the skin.

3. Gentle Heat

The Nervy SpineBelt incorporates a warming element that provides gentle, localised heat to the treatment area.

Operating at approximately 45°C, the warming element is designed to provide a comfortable warming sensation during use. Heating settings can be controlled as part of the device's operating functions.

An Integrated, User-Controlled System

By bringing phototherapy, low-level electrical stimulation, iontophoresis and gentle heat together in a single wearable system, the Nervy SpineBelt provides users with a convenient way to apply multiple non-drug modalities during a session.
