Santiago Garfias, neurosurgeon practicing at private hospitals in Mallorca since 2018 and collaborating with two physiotherapy centers in Palma and Manacor, acquired his first NESA device in May 2022 looking for a non-invasive solution for patients where pharmacology, conventional physiotherapy and surgery did not offer a response.
His most illustrative clinical case is a patient with a traffic accident who developed axial lumbar and cervical pain with generalized joint pain, and who over time developed allergy to analgesics, drastically limiting therapeutic options. NESA is the only thing that has provided her with real benefit: during the session she notices immediate improvement and can resume her daily activities, something that without treatment prevented her from getting out of bed.
He clearly explains that it is not pain from structural injury but an alteration of brain perception due to central sensitization, where the only option is neuromodulation. That it is non-invasive enormously expands patients’ access to treatment, making them independent of his availability hours as a neurosurgeon.
