WHAT TO EXPECT
From Order to Everyday Use
EVERYDAY USE
Everything you need, on Day one
Your Encora X1 arrives with everything you need to get started. Your Patient Advocate will walk you through setup, answer questions, and help you feel comfortable using your device from day one.
Simple to keep going
Your wristband will need to be replaced periodically as part of normal therapy. When it’s time, your VA care team can help arrange a replacement — simply move the Encora X1 therapy module into the new band and keep going.
Wear it whenever you need relief
Wear Encora X1 during the day whenever you need tremor relief — at home, running errands, working in the yard, or spending time with family. Charge it overnight so you’re ready for whatever tomorrow brings.

THE SCIENCE
Built Around a Different Idea
Knowing where tremor begins helps explain why Encora X1 works differently. Rather than adding another medication or requiring a procedure, Encora X1 uses precisely engineered mechanical stimulation at the wrist to help interrupt tremor signals during stimulation. It’s a different approach, designed to help you get back to the everyday moments that make up your life.
