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.

"Absolutely Amazing!!! I promise that is not a hyperbole. About a week ago, I was circling the drain as I had overtrained in the gym on leg day. My entire body was cramping and starting to lock up to the point that any movement at all was painful or caused more cramps. Dr. Chris and Upgrade Medical was a literal godsend; saved my life and a for certain trip to the ER. As a former collegiate athlete, the services and treatment offered at Upgrade Medical is EVERYTHING I’ve missed since playing ball. To be able to access the same or similar recovery treatments has opened up the possibilities for me to be more engaged in my athletic endeavors. Previously I would train and then end up taking 2-4 weeks off to allow my body to recover; with Dr. Chris and Upgrade Medical I’m preparing to run my first ever marathon in November. Again, former athlete, so the thought of running distance is absolutely ridiculous and terrifying at the same time, but I’m encouraged knowing there’s a knowledgeable partner to assist me through the journey. As someone who’s spent over 1/2 their lives inside the gym or training for sport I couldn’t began to recommend the services and attention you get at Upgrade Medical. I’d seriously recommend for everyone, rather you’re a beginner in the fitness world, or a seasoned athlete pursuing new goals. I honestly feel as locked in as I did when playing football in college, I know and feel confident in the idea that I can push my in the training realm while having expertise and genuine care in the recovery process in Dr. Chris and Upgrade Medical."
