Dr. David Lans offers SetPoint Therapy to adults with rheumatoid arthritis in New Rochelle and throughout Westchester County.
If you are living with rheumatoid arthritis and still struggling despite multiple medications, SetPoint Therapy offers a fundamentally different approach by working with your body’s own immune pathways to reduce inflammation at its source. You are not out of options, and your body is not broken. Many people come to Dr. Lans after cycling through treatments that either stop working or create side effects that are just as difficult as the condition itself. You may feel caught between ongoing joint pain, fatigue, and the reality that each new medication brings uncertainty. Over time, it can feel like your care is focused on managing flares rather than restoring balance. Rheumatoid arthritis is driven by uncontrolled inflammation, and in many patients, the underlying immune pathways that regulate inflammation are not functioning the way they should. That is why simply adding or changing medications does not always lead to lasting relief. Dr. David Lans provides care that blends integrative rheumatology with a whole person approach to optimal health for results that fit your life.
SetPoint Therapy is the only FDA approved device-based treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. This innovative therapy activates your natural anti-inflammatory pathways through the vagus nerve, helping your body regulate immune activity instead of suppressing it. At his New Rochelle practice, Dr. Lans integrates this advanced therapy into personalized treatment plans designed for patients across Westchester County.

Are You Still Struggling with Rheumatoid Arthritis Despite Treatment?
If you are considering SetPoint Therapy, there is a good chance your current treatment is not giving you the stability or relief you expected. You may recognize some of the patterns below that suggest your immune system is still driving inflammation despite ongoing care:
A Whole Person Approach to Restoring Immune Balance
SetPoint Therapy represents a new way of thinking about rheumatoid arthritis treatment. Instead of relying solely on medications to suppress the immune system, this therapy works by activating your body’s natural anti-inflammatory pathways. Specifically, it targets the vagus nerve, which plays a central role in regulating the inflammatory reflex. In many patients with rheumatoid arthritis, this pathway is not functioning properly, leading to persistent, uncontrolled inflammation.
By delivering a brief, one minute stimulation each day, the SetPoint device helps recalibrate how your immune system responds. This is not about shutting down your immune system. It is about restoring communication between your nervous system and immune system so inflammation can be controlled more effectively.
At Dr. David Lans’ practice, SetPoint Therapy is not used in isolation. It is thoughtfully integrated into a broader functional and integrative medicine plan that looks at the full picture of your health. This includes identifying contributing factors such as gut health, environmental triggers, stress physiology, and metabolic balance. The goal is to create a more stable internal environment where your body can regulate inflammation more naturally over time.
SetPoint Therapy is the only FDA approved device-based treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. In the clinical study leading to its approval, 75 percent of patients did not require the addition of a biologic or JAK inhibitor at one year. This reflects its ability to reduce inflammation through physiologic pathways rather than relying solely on medication escalation.
Dr. David Lans helps adults with rheumatoid arthritis in New Rochelle and throughout Westchester County achieve lasting results through a personalized, integrative approach.
How SetPoint Therapy Fits into Rheumatoid Arthritis Care
Uncontrolled Inflammation in RA
Rheumatoid arthritis is driven by chronic, uncontrolled inflammation. SetPoint Therapy directly targets this process by activating the body’s natural anti inflammatory pathways. Instead of simply suppressing symptoms, SetPoint Therapy works to help your body regulate inflammation more effectively at its source.
Dysfunctional Immune Signaling
In many patients, the communication between the nervous system and immune system is impaired. SetPoint Therapy uses gentle stimulation of the vagus nerve to restore this connection, helping to re engage the inflammatory reflex that keeps immune activity in balance.
When Medications Are Not Enough
If you continue to have symptoms despite multiple medications, or cannot tolerate them, SetPoint Therapy offers a different path. As a device based, non drug treatment, SetPoint Therapy may reduce the need for additional biologics or JAK inhibitors while still improving disease control.
Integrating SetPoint Therapy into a Whole Person Plan
At Dr. Lans’ practice, SetPoint Therapy is part of a broader integrative strategy. Your care is designed around you, combining this advanced therapy with a whole person approach that addresses underlying contributors such as gut health, stress, and environmental factors to support long term stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SetPoint Therapy and how does it work?
SetPoint Therapy is the only FDA approved device based treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. It involves a small implanted device that stimulates the vagus nerve for about one minute each day. This stimulation activates your body’s natural anti inflammatory pathways, helping to regulate immune activity rather than suppress it.
Who is a candidate for SetPoint Therapy?
SetPoint Therapy is designed for adults with rheumatoid arthritis who continue to have symptoms despite trying multiple medications or who cannot tolerate those medications. Dr. Lans carefully evaluates your history, current condition, and overall health to determine if this therapy is appropriate for you.
Is SetPoint Therapy safe?
Yes. SetPoint Therapy has been studied in clinical trials and approved by the FDA for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The device delivers a very short, controlled stimulation each day and has been shown to be safe and effective when used in appropriate patients.
Can SetPoint Therapy replace my medications?
The goal of SetPoint Therapy is to improve how your body regulates inflammation. In some cases, this may reduce the need for additional medications. In clinical studies, many patients did not require escalation to biologics or JAK inhibitors after starting therapy. Your treatment plan is always personalized, and any medication decisions are made carefully with Dr. Lans.
What is the procedure like?
The device is implanted near the vagus nerve in a minimally invasive procedure. Once in place, it automatically delivers a brief one minute stimulation each day. Most patients do not feel the stimulation, and the process becomes a seamless part of daily life.
How does SetPoint Therapy fit into an integrative approach?
At Dr. Lans’ practice, SetPoint Therapy is one part of a comprehensive, whole person strategy.
