GammaCore

GammaCoreTM is a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator, otherwise known as nVNS, that activates the vagus nerve with gentle electrical stimulation through the skin of the neck. The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body, with branching nerves that go to the heart, lungs, stomach, and many other organs. It is for reporting information to the brain and transmitting instructions back to the body.

Think of the vagus nerve as the nervous system's "super-highway," sending important communication back and forth between your brain and parts of the body. The vagus nerve modulates systemic inflammation, having an effect on the autonomic, enteric (Gut-Brain Axis), and peripheral nervous systems. Because of this broad influence, it is useful to treat many conditions, including central pain, headache disorders, inflammatory conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, and less defined conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Long-Covid.

What our customers say

"Dr K has been exceptional and I am so thankful for all his efforts in helping me get my health in check. I feel so much better now than I did last year before coming to Upgrade Medical!"

"As a lifelong fitness enthusiast/athlete, and a 48yr old whom works in the industry as a group fitness instructor in multiple formats, my body is constantly battered and broken. I was looking for recovery alternatives besides my own heating pad/ice packs, and didn’t want to take more Rx meds than I already was. Upgrade Medical, and Chris, or Dr.K, as some call him, owns and operates a facility that’s provide a variety of recovery style equipment and medical gadgets that have played a big role in my chronic pain management, as well as my daily aches and pains as an athlete, allowing me to recovery quicker and just feel better in both mind and body, to allow me to continue pushing forward, at age 48, in my career in fitness. My current “routine” at Upgrade 3x a week, consists of red light therapy, PEMF, compression therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, nitrogen therapy, along with cupping treatments coupled w/targeted Cryotherapy. I know it may sound like a lot, and it is, but when your body is your tool, I’m willing to put in the time to allow my body to continue to do what I am so passionate about…fitness! Sidenote- ALL of these treatments/therapies,(and more!), are included in my monthly membership! If you are looking for the most bang for your buck, and are willing to commit the time to “keep in the game” as an aging athlete, the monthly memberships are the way to go."

"Chris has a lot of knowledge and tools at his disposal for anyone interested in functional medicine. He spent a lot of time coming up with a plan to help me and I’m very happy with the results."

"Dr. K is as passionate about your healing and recovery as you are! I feel lucky to have someone on my team who can break things down from all angles and truly dive into the science of health. His holistic, multi-system approach is a breath of fresh air. The services offered at Upgrade Medical were exactly what I needed to recover from my complex and rare neurological disorder. I genuinely believe I’m healing faster than expected thanks to Dr. K and Upgrade Medical. I'm forever grateful I made the decision to invest in my health and longevity."

"Im extremely happy with my visit with Dr K! He's very knowledgeable, took his time addressing my issues and went over what he thought would work best for me. I felt like he went out of his way for me as patient and that is very rare these days. I highly recommend him!"
