Privately held NeuraLace Medical, Inc., headquartered in San Diego, Calif., is committed to leading the charge in non-invasive chronic pain management and sustainable relief.  Our mission to end chronic pain inspired us to develop Axon Therapy, with the goal of being the first non-invasive, non-addictive way to effectively treat chronic neuropathic pain. Axon Therapy is a new non-drug pain management treatment that is FDA-cleared (via 510(k) approval in 2021) to treat chronic nerve pain — such as the recurring pain experienced after a limb loss, motor vehicle accident, severe fall, sports injury, localized burn or certain invasive surgical procedures. It utilizes first-of-its-kind magnetic pulse technology to activate the pain management fibers in your body, "turning on" your body's natural pain reduction chemistry.
