What is Ultrasound Vagus Nerve Stimulation?

Typically referred to as uVNS, this is a modality of stimulation that has many benefits to increasing Parasympathetic function in the human body. Using high frequency sound waves we can now selectively stimulate neurons throughout the body.

Ultrasound as a tool to elicit neuronal excitation is actually quite old. Beginning in the 1950's and 60's, researchers quickly learned about the power of focused Ultrasound on central neurons in the brain, and peripheral neurons in arms and legs.

Ultrasound is now being utilized to treat inflammatory disorders, image the brain in real-time, and even fight infections with remarkable success.

What Is Being Stimulated?

The Vagus Nerve is a massive bundle of neurons that run from your brain stem down to your abdomen. When we stimulate these neurons using ultrasound, we are causing them to "fire" and send signals to the brain that activate the Parasympathetic Nervous System—your body's "rest and digest" mode.

Benefits of Vagus Nerve Stimulation

  • Improved mood & focus
  • Massive reduction in anxiety
  • Better sleep & vivid dreams
  • Lowered insulin resistance
  • Improved memory & cognition
  • Elimination of insomnia
  • Massive reduction in tinnitus
  • Enhanced digestion & salivation
  • Relaxed facial expression
  • Reduced TMJ & neck pain
  • Increased hopefulness
  • Better stress reaction
  • Increased BDNF production
  • Increased sexual function & desire
  • Normalization of period cycle

And the list goes on and on...

Conclusion

Ultrasound has proven itself to hold remarkable potential to restore proper function to central and peripheral neurons in the human body. It is incredibly safe and widely accepted.

Our recommendation is to work with a practitioner who can fine-tune a treatment protocol for you, as response times can vary from 15 minutes to a week depending on your specific symptoms.
