Ultrasound Therapy for Pain Relief
PainShield® delivers continuous therapeutic ultrasound directly to the source of pain — wearable, night-safe, and designed for at-home use.
If you’re already using PainShield®, you can access the PainShield Portal here.
How It Works
Continuous Therapy, Without the Complexity
PainShield® uses low-intensity localized ultrasound to deliver continuous therapeutic treatment directly to the source of pain — no buttons, no interruptions, no limitations on daily activity.
Step 1Apply
Attach the adhesive patch to the target area. The compact smart controller connects directly — nothing to carry or manage separately.
Step 2Treat
Therapeutic ultrasound delivers continuously to the treatment site during daily activity. The battery supports 6.5 hours of therapy per session.
Step 3Rest
Night-safe design means therapy continues while you sleep, adding an overnight window for accelerated results.
Availability Notice: PainShield® is available from Delta Medical Group exclusively through the VA, VA Community Care (VACDOC), or Community Care providers, by order from a prescribing clinician. Not available for direct purchase or resale.
Use Cases
Built for the Pain Veterans Know
Effective across a range of chronic and post-injury conditions — each with a measurable outcome.
Chronic Joint Pain: Knee and shoulder conditions: tendonitis, adhesive capsulitis, arthritis, impingement, and meniscus injuries.
Post-Surgical Recovery: Post-op pain and healing support for shoulder, knee, elbow, and hand procedures. Safe over orthopedic hardware, no supervision required.
Musculoskeletal Conditions: Cervical and lumbar: herniated disc, spondylosis, sciatica, and whiplash. Foot and ankle: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and ischemic feet.
Nerve-Related Pain: Peripheral neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia, carpal tunnel, trigger finger, ulnar nerve dysfunction, and diabetic neuropathy.
Clinical Evidence
Results Grounded in Evidence
PainShield's protocol is supported by peer-reviewed clinical research and demonstrated biological effects at the cellular level.
Increases local blood circulation and promotes tissue oxygenation at the treatment site.
Accelerates soft tissue healing through angiogenesis and fibroblast proliferation.
Reduces localized pain and inflammation without systemic medication.
Delivers therapeutic effect at low, safe energy levels with no risk of thermal injury.
Supporting Evidence
Peer-Reviewed Study: Trigeminal Neuralgia
A double-blind RCT of 59 subjects reported a 55% reduction in pain scores and a 46% decrease in breakthrough opioid use after 30 days of PainShield therapy. No adverse events were recorded. Download the full study.
Clinical Case Series: Tendonitis
Three chronic tendon tear cases showed MRI-confirmed near-complete resolution with PainShield. Patients reported up to 80% pain reduction. One patient was fully pain-free within three weeks. Download the full study.
Safety Profile
Low-intensity SAW energy eliminates thermal injury risk. No significant contraindications for standard prescribed use. Suitable for patients with implanted orthopedic hardware in many cases.
