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 with single button operation. Designed for convenient treatment at home.

Step 1

Apply

Place the transducer on the target area and affix in place with included adhesive tabs or medical tape. The compact smart controller connects directly. No complex attachments or settings.

Step 2

Treat

Automated, therapeutic ultrasound is delivered to the treatment site whether at rest or during daily activity. The battery supports 6.5 hours of therapy per session.

Step 3

Rest

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 VA Medical Centers (VAMC), VA Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC), 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

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 minimizes thermal injury risk. No significant contraindications for standard prescribed use. Suitable for patients with implanted orthopedic hardware in many cases.
