FAQ

Can the Neubie device help with my injury?

Well, it depends. Fortunately, the NeuFit System is able to help most of the people who use it. Coupled with the Neubie device’s ability to re-educate muscles, increase blood flow, improve range of motion, prevent atrophy, decrease spasms, and relieve or manage pain, the NeuFit system has helped many people recover from sports injuries and various traumas and surgeries. Of course, there are times when therapy and rehab strategies aren’t enough, and more serious interventions are necessary. If something is completely torn, for example, surgery may be the best solution. The good news is that Neubie is non-invasive and very safe. Because of the low risks, it is often worth trying as a conservative strategy before considering more serious and invasive interventions like surgery and injections.

Is the Neubie safe for me?

The Neubie is FDA-cleared and considered safe as long as it is used within the appropriate guidelines. For example, it is contraindicated for people who have a pacemaker or are pregnant. There are other situations in which practitioners should exercise caution. If you have any questions about your particular situation, please consult your medical professional.

Is it covered by insurance or Medicare?

At our home office here in Austin, our services are self-pay. For many clients who have FSA or HSA options, our services usually qualify and those accounts can be used.

What makes the Neubie unique?

Its technical specifications are part of what makes the Neubie unique. By using direct current rather than alternating current, the Neubie maximizes the potential for neuromuscular re-education and improved neurophysiological function.

Beyond its effects on neuromuscular re-education and function, Neubie’s use of direct current can also promote tissue healing and repair. Meanwhile, the alternating current in machines like TENS, NMES, Russian Stim, and Interferential creates electric fields that switch direction many times per second, while direct current sustains an electric field in one direction for a longer period of time. This electric field can orient and possibly increase the activity of cells that repair and regenerate all types of tissues, including bone, muscle, and connective tissue.

Besides using direct current, the Neubie’s waveforms have been engineered to reduce resistance and irritation to the skin, along with the discomfort associated with electric charge accumulation (which often occurs with traditional direct current devices).
