What makes Tenthwell different?

Most arthritis products work on one joint from the outside. The Tenthwell neck band works on the nerve your body uses to shut inflammation down: the vagus nerve, the same nerve the FDA-approved arthritis implant targets. It reaches it through the skin of your neck in 4 minutes a day, with no surgery.

How To Use

Charge it. Put a small dab of the included gel on each contact point, then put it on with the contact points on the sides of your neck. Press M for Inflammation Mode, press start, and turn it up until you feel a light tingle. It runs 4 minutes and switches itself off. Wipe the contacts clean after.

Use it every day: the implant study measured its first results at 12 weeks.

Shipping & Returns

Free US shipping. Orders arrive in 5-7 business days.

90-day money-back guarantee, counted from the day your neck band arrives: if you're not happy, email support@tenthwell.com and we'll send you a prepaid return label. You get a full refund of your purchase price.

A Nerve Backed By 25 Years Of Research

  • The same nerve the FDA-approved arthritis implant targets
  • No surgery, no needles, nothing to swallow
  • CE, RoHS and FCC certified

Modern research shows what happens when this nerve is switched on:

Turns On The Body's Brake On Inflammation

In 2000, neurosurgeon Kevin Tracey showed that stimulating the vagus nerve shuts down TNF, one of the body's main inflammation signals.

Lowers A Key Inflammation Signal Through The Skin

In a 2017 study, stimulation through the skin of the neck raised vagus nerve activity and lowered TNF within 24 hours.

Works Through Your Whole Body, Not One Joint

Creams, shots and braces work on one joint at a time. The vagus nerve is how your brain calms inflammation everywhere.

The Research Behind The Nerve

Find out what happened when researchers switched this nerve on in people with arthritis.

These studies were in rheumatoid arthritis, where inflammation drives the whole disease. In osteoarthritis, inflammation is the part nobody treats.

FDA approval record
FDA Approved, July 2025The first vagus nerve implant for rheumatoid arthritis. After a year, 58% of patients using the implant alone, with no added drugs, were at least 20% better.U.S. FDA premarket approval P240039

On, Better. Off, Worse.17 people with rheumatoid arthritis. When the stimulation was switched off, they got worse within 14 days. Switched back on, they got better again.Koopman et al., PNAS, 2016

Through The Skin, In 24 Hours20 people. Stimulation through the skin of the neck: vagus activity up, TNF down.Brock et al., Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2017
80%

of knees with moderate pain had an inflamed joint lining on MRI

Inflamed, Not Just Worn OutIn 454 knees with or at risk of osteoarthritis, 80% of the knees with moderate pain had an inflamed joint lining on MRI.Baker et al., Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2010

The Truth Is:

Stiffness, Swelling And Joint Pain Aren't Just About Getting Older Or Wear And Tear. It's A Much Deeper Issue.

Here's What's Actually Going On Beneath The Skin:

1

Stress, bad sleep and age quiet your tenth nerve, the body's brake on inflammation.

2

With the brake off, inflammation never shuts down. It settles into the lining of your joints.

The result: stiff mornings, swollen knees, aching hands, nights the pain wakes you, and cartilage that wears down faster, no matter how many pills, shots and braces you try.

Most pills, shots and braces only address the surface.

They numb the pain or prop up the joint for a while, but they don't reach the root of the issue. Because the issue isn't just the joint you can feel... It's the switch that's keeping the inflammation on.

What's really causing it?

  • A quiet tenth nerve
  • Inflammation that never switches off
  • A swollen, thickened joint lining
  • Stress and bad sleep keeping the brake off

That's why Tenthwell was created:

The Tenthwell neck band sends a gentle pulse through the skin of your neck to the vagus nerve, the same nerve the FDA-approved arthritis implant targets, so your body's brake on inflammation can do the job it was designed to do.

You Don't Have To Take Another Pill, Get Another Shot, Or Go Back Under The Knife...

Clinical Proof

Osteoarthritis "has long been viewed as a degenerative disease of cartilage," but inflammation plays "a critical role."

Stimulating the vagus nerve switches that inflammation off. In 2025, the FDA approved the first vagus nerve implant for rheumatoid arthritis. The Tenthwell neck band reaches the same nerve from the outside.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Is This Different From Other Solutions?

Most solutions work on one joint from the outside: pills numb it, shots calm it for a few weeks, braces prop it up. The band works on the switch: the vagus nerve your body uses to shut inflammation down, the same nerve the FDA-approved arthritis implant targets, reached through the skin of your neck.

How Do I Use The Neck Band?

Put a small dab of the included gel on each contact point, then put it on with the contact points on the sides of your neck. Press M for Inflammation Mode, press start, and turn it up until you feel a light tingle. It runs 4 minutes and switches itself off. Most people do it in the evening. No complicated routines.

Does It Hurt?

No. Most people feel a light tingle where the band touches the neck. A small dab of the included gel on each contact point keeps it smooth and even. You choose from 9 strength levels, and you can turn it down any time.

What's In The Box?

The Tenthwell band, a remote control, conductive gel (a 5 ml tube, about 20 sessions) and a USB charging cable. Buy 1, Get 1 Free orders also come with 3 free gifts: an extra gel refill, the 4-Minute Protocol eBook and a printable 90-Day Morning Tracker.

Who Shouldn't Use The Neck Band?

Don't use it if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, a heart condition or epilepsy, or if you're pregnant, unless your doctor says it's OK. Don't place it over broken or irritated skin.

Can I Use It With My Arthritis Medications?

The band is nothing you swallow, so it doesn't mix with pills. Keep taking what your doctor prescribed, and ask them if you have questions.

Can I Use It With A Knee Brace Or Heat Pad?

Yes. The band sits on your neck, so it doesn't get in the way of anything you use on your joints.

Can I Use It After A Knee Replacement?

Yes. The band sits on your neck, nowhere near your new knee. If you're still recovering from surgery, check with your surgeon first.

Can I Talk To A Real Person?

Yes. Call us at (725) 242-4404 with any question about your neck band or your order, or email support@tenthwell.com.
