PoNS™ (ponstherapy.com), short for Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator, is an innovative medical device. It is inclusive of a controller and mouthpiece, that delivers mild stimulation to the surface of the tongue. This stimulation triggers a flow of neural impulses to the brain structures that control balance and gait. PoNS is meant to be used in conjunction with supervised therapeutic activity, referred to as, PoNS Therapy™. Use of the device while engaging in movement and coordination tasks promotes neuromodulation, activating brain pathways to help improve balance and gait.

Why is PoNS™ (ponstherapy.ca) placed on the tongue? The tongue has direct connections to the brain stem, and saliva is an excellent conductor of electricity. That means the tongue is the best environment for the PoNS mouthpiece to deliver electrical stimulation to the essential nerve branches—without implantation or surgery.
