It’s a New Year, and a New Chance to Move Forward with PoNS®
A new year often brings reflection—and hope. Hope for feeling stronger. Hope for moving more confidently. Hope for reclaiming parts of life that may have felt out of reach. If you’re living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and struggling with your gait, make this year about getting Back In Step With Life.
Make 2026 Your Year, With PoNS Therapy®
If you or a loved one are living with MS, you know that gait challenges can be frustrating. Changes in walking ability can make everyday activities feel harder than they used to—whether it’s moving from room to room, keeping up with loved ones, or feeling steady on your feet. The good news? PoNS is helping people with MS take meaningful steps forward—literally.
Learn about PoNS and PoNS Therapy
PoNS (Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator) is a non-invasive device that stimulates the nerves on the surface of the tongue to help activate brain pathways involved in movement and coordination. When paired with 14 weeks of physical rehabilitation, this combination helps retrain the brain—a process called neuroplasticity—and PoNS support meaningful, lasting improvements in gait.
This synergistic approach (the use of PoNS with physicial therapy) is known as PoNS Therapy—and for many individuals living with mobility challenges related to MS, it can be a new path forward.
If you believe PoNS sounds like the right fit for you, we have some good news:
More patients are getting their device covered through private insurance. In fact, the following major insurers have already authorized out-of-network claims for PoNS:
- United Healthcare
- Atena
- Anthem
- Anthem Multiplan
- Cigna Health

Real results in the PoNSTEP Study
In the PoNSTEP Study, participants who maintained a strong adherence to their therapy (meaning that they consistently followed their 14-week therapy plan) had a statistically significant average improvement in their Dynamic Gait Index (DGI). This improvement was maintained for at least 6 months after treatment completion1:
- 50% of participants who maintained 85-100% adherence to PoNS Therapy saw animprovement of nearly 7 points in DGI scores1
- 74% of those who maintained 70% adherence gainedat least a 5-point improvement in DGI scores from baseline to end of treatment1
The takeaway? Consistency matters. When PoNS Therapy is used as prescribed and integrated into a consistent therapeutic routine, it delivers real, measurable progress.
