Spinal Cord Stimulation
Advanced Neuromodulation Therapy
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an advanced, FDA-approved treatment for chronic pain that has not responded to conservative therapies. This technology uses mild electrical impulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, providing significant relief for many patients with chronic pain conditions.
How It Works
A trial period is performed first to determine effectiveness
Thin electrodes are placed near the spinal cord through small incisions
The electrodes are connected to a pulse generator (like a pacemaker)
The device sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord
These pulses modify pain signals before they reach the brain
Patients can adjust stimulation levels using a remote control
Key Benefits
- Significant pain reduction (typically 50-70%)
- Reduced need for pain medications
- Improved quality of life and function
- Reversible and adjustable treatment
- Long-term solution for chronic pain
