The South Florida Scrambler Therapy team provides top-rated Calmare therapy to patients across the United States.
Most people associate chronic nerve pain treatment with heavy medication or invasive procedures, but Scrambler Therapy is a revolutionary, non-invasive option. Our practice uses state-of-the-art FDA-cleared technology to 'scramble' pain signals, replacing them with non-pain signals, providing lasting relief.
South Florida Scrambler Therapy believes in providing direct, specialized care. We are a cash-based practice and do not bill insurance, allowing us to focus entirely on your clinical outcomes. For patients seeking flexible payment options, we offer prepayment discounts to help make this life-changing therapy accessible.
Scrambler Therapy (Calmare) is uniquely effective because it blocks chronic nerve pain signals and replaces them with normal, non-pain signals. Unlike TENS units or traditional spinal cord stimulators, Scrambler Therapy uses EKG-style surface electrodes to send a non-pain message directly to the brain, which can lead to significant pain reduction even after traditional treatments have failed.

Traveling from Wisconsin to South Florida Scrambler Therapy was the best decision I've made for managing my CRPS. After years of searching for relief, I finally experienced significant improvement thanks to the exceptional care I received.

Their expertise and dedication made all the difference, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on my life. I highly recommend them to anyone struggling with CRPS
I am a medical professional who Came to Dr Markson for scrambler therapy for 6 years of nerve pain in my right posterior rib cage from an accident. He was very transparent on the procedure and as honest as they come. I have some improvement for the first time in 6 years that even John’s Hopkins couldn’t improve. Dr Markson were as nice and accommodating as you would hope for.. Now we are at the end of initial therapy I amm feeling optimistic for the first time in a long time.

Dr. Markson and his team are so kind and helpful! After a week of Scrambler Therapy, I’m seeing major improvements to the nerve pain I was left with after a double spinal fusion.

Scrambler Therapy is a proven, FDA-cleared approach for a wide variety of chronic neuropathic and neurogenic conditions. You may be a candidate for care if you suffer from:
Scrambler Therapy (Calmare Therapy) uses EKG-style surface electrodes to send a non-pain signal that the brain recognizes as normal, whereas a TENS unit merely masks pain signals with a buzzing sensation. Scrambler Therapy aims to achieve long-term re-training of the brain's pain perception.
No referral is required. Our health history review and phone consultation are designed to determine if you are a candidate for care.
South Florida Scrambler Therapy is a cash-based practice. We do not bill insurance, which allows us to provide direct, specialized care without the restrictions often imposed by insurance companies.
Yes. It is considered safe, non-invasive, and drug-free. Side effects are rare and generally mild, such as temporary skin redness at the electrode site.
Patients typically notice relief within 3-5 sessions, though a full clinical course of 10–12 sessions is required for long-term brain re-training.
A typical session lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and the patient’s specific pain condition.
A full treatment course usually includes 10–12 sessions, delivered over two to three weeks. Some patients may need booster sessions later.
