Recalibrate Your Brain and Body naturally with the Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Mansfield, Texas
Gentle Stimulation for Balance & Healing
Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) is a non-invasive, science-backed technique that activates your body’s natural healing and calming pathways by stimulating the vagus nerve. The key communication line between your brain and vital organs. Think of it like flipping a switch that turns down stress and inflammation while turning up recovery, focus, and balance.
Your vagus nerve is like the body’s super controller. It helps control things like heart rate, digestion, immune response, and even mood. But due to chronic stress, injuries, or neurological imbalances, this nerve can become underactive or dysregulated. Vagal Nerve Stimulation uses gentle, external tools (like specific techniques, breathwork, or electrical impulses near the ear or neck) to wake up and regulate the vagus nerve. The result? Your brain and body start working in harmony again.
Benefits of Vagal Nerve Stimulation
Calms the nervous system – Reduces fight-or-flight responses
Enhances brain-body connection – Improves communication between organ systems
Promotes neuroplasticity – Helps the brain adapt, rewire, and heal
Reduces inflammation – By modulating the immune response
Improves heart rate variability (HRV) – A marker of overall health and resilience
Boosts digestive function – Via parasympathetic tone
Regulates mood and energy – Helps balance neurotransmitters

How We Treat
At Calibration Brain + Body, vagal nerve stimulation isn’t a one-size-fits-all tool. It’s a precision-based, whole-body strategy. With extensive experience using over four different types of stimulation technologies and a variety of low-tech vagal inputs like humming, gargling, breathwork, and meditation, we’ve developed a truly integrative approach. What makes us different is how we thoughtfully stack these methods; layering high-tech and low-tech interventions in a specific sequence based on each patient’s unique nervous system needs. Every protocol is guided by real-time Heart Rate Variability (HRV) testing, ensuring we target the right areas of imbalance with the most effective tools, whether that’s calming an overstimulated system or activating one that’s underperforming.

FAQ's
The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body, connecting your brainstem to your heart, lungs, gut, and more. It plays a key role in regulating digestion, inflammation, mood, heart rate, and your body’s ability to relax and recover. When it’s underactive or out of sync, many systems can suffer. By stimulating the vagus nerve, we help reestablish balance in the brain-body connection.
Yes; our methods are completely non-invasive and safe for most people. We always begin with a detailed assessment to ensure each technique is appropriate for your body and nervous system. Many patients actually find the sessions relaxing and restorative.
That depends on the method we use. Some techniques feel like a gentle pulsing or warmth, while others (like humming or breathwork) feel natural and calming. Most patients report feeling more grounded, clear-headed, and relaxed by the end of a session.
It depends on your health history and goals. Some patients feel changes after just a few sessions, while others benefit from a longer series; especially if vagal dysregulation has been present for years. We reassess your HRV and clinical progress along the way to adjust your plan as needed.
