Are there any medical providers for vivisitim in or nearby jerseyville Illinois 62052

Find Care & Housing
I was completely clueless about this divice; ex RN here but have never heard of it. As Burntcaregiver reminds me sometimes, I am TWO decades out of nursing.
For others, this is what I found on the internet about this device:
"Neurostimulation device
The Vivistim System is an FDA-approved neurostimulation device that pairs vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with rehabilitation therapy to improve hand and arm function in patients who have had ischemic stroke. It is designed to increase neuroplasticity and gently stimulate the brain via the vagus nerve during rehabilitation exercises and at-home activities."

I hope others might have some information for you, Mary. If not, and you become familiar with something you think works, I hope you will update us what you find out.
