The Challenge

Pain, stiffness, and flare cycles

Psoriatic arthritis brings joint pain, morning stiffness, and fatigue that disrupt daily activity. The goal is steadier function and reduced stress responses.

You may notice these sensations as you start

Joint swelling and pain flareups
Morning stiffness that lingers
Muscle tension around painful joints
Digestive upset during flares
Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
Sleep disruption during pain

How VNS engages the body

Vagus nerve as a bi-directional dial

The vagus nerve links gut signals with brain circuits controlling stress, mood, and inflammation, enabling regulation of bodily systems during daily activity.

Chronic stress dampens vagal tone

Ongoing stress reduces vagal activity, making it harder for the body to downshift into calm states and sleep.

Train it like a muscle

Regular, brief stimulation strengthens vagal pathways, supporting easier autonomic balance over time.

tVNS is non-invasive

Non-invasive cervical stimulation places devices on the neck to modulate vagal activity without implants or injections.

What to Expect

VNS sessions integrate into daily routines

A brief daily session signals your body to shift toward rest and regulation. Here’s how it unfolds.

1

Lowers stress response quickly

A 4-minute session reduces sensations of tension, helping you wind down after activity.

2

Shifts you toward rest mode

Vagal engagement promotes parasympathetic activity, aiding easier relaxation and sleep onset.

3

Calms heart-rate signals

Heart rate variability improves as the body settles, supporting overall regulation.

4

Quiets internal chatter

Calm nervous system states make daytime focus and mood steadier.
