Spinal Cord Stimulation

OUTPATIENT PROCEDURE

Long-Term Solution to Chronic Pain

If you suffer from chronic pain in your back, knees, arms, or other areas, a Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) may be the solution for you. During an outpatient procedure, we implant hair-sized wires attached to a small external device that will block some of your pain.

This device offers a safe, drug-free, and effective long-term solution to chronic pain. While an SCS may not eliminate all of your pain, it can drastically reduce it.

We will do a thorough medical evaluation to discover what is causing your discomfort and mobility issues and discuss the options appropriate for your condition.

Spinal Cord Stimulation Q&A

We will get details about your condition, discuss your needs and expectations, and complete a medical examination. Our pain management and regenerative medicine can help with many treatments.

  • What conditions do spinal cord stimulators help?

    An SCS may be used for various conditions and areas of pain, including your back, knees, arms, and more.

  • How does an SCS work?

    The hair-sized wires are attached to a device that delivers electrical impulses directly to your spine to block pain signals to your brain.

  • Is it safe?

    The SCS devices are FDA-approved, safe and effective.

  • What pain medications will I need?

    You may still have some pain even when using an SCS. We will address the root cause of your discomfort versus treating it with painkillers and temporary measures that just mask your symptoms. Medications may be prescribed when needed, but our goal is to restore you to complete wellness without dependence on drugs.
