Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) – Enhance Relaxation & Natural Pain Relief in Calgary

At Orthomassage Calgary, we specialize in chronic pain management and natural pain relief solutions. One of the most effective ways to support your body’s healing and recovery is through vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), which helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, your body’s natural “rest and digest” system.

Vagus nerve stimulation promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and improves overall physical and mental wellness — supporting better outcomes for patients seeking relief from back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and chronic stress-related conditions.

What is Vagus Nerve Stimulation?

The vagus nerve, also called the “wandering nerve,” is the longest nerve in the body and controls 80% of your parasympathetic response. As a key component of the autonomic nervous system, it helps regulate involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and muscle relaxation.

Vagal tone is a measure of vagus nerve health. High vagal tone allows the body to rest, recover, and restore quickly, counteracting the effects of chronic stress. Low vagal tone can lead to sympathetic dominance, prolonged stress, inflammation, and decreased recovery ability.

By supporting vagus nerve function, you can reduce stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, improve circulation, and enhance overall healing.

Health Benefits of Vagus Nerve Stimulation

VNS offers a wide range of benefits for patients seeking pain management and natural pain relief:

• Decreases inflammation: Sends anti-inflammatory signals throughout the body
• Reduces muscle tension: Relaxes muscles and eases trigger point tenderness
• Improves circulation and lymphatic flow: Enhances gut-brain communication and stress recovery
• Reduces pain: Lower stress levels lead to decreased pain perception

These benefits make VNS an ideal complement for chronic pain management, especially for conditions affecting the back, neck, and shoulders.

Why Vagus Nerve Stimulation Matters

When the sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive, your body remains in fight, flight, or freeze mode, releasing stress hormones that can worsen pain, inflammation, and muscle tension. Vagus nerve stimulation acts as the “brake,” restoring balance and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

Strengthening your vagal tone can help you:

• Recover faster from injuries and chronic pain
• Reduce inflammation and improve mobility
• Manage stress, anxiety, and fatigue
• Enhance overall physical and mental well-being
