Spinal Cord Stimulator

A Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) is a medical device that manages chronic pain by delivering electrical impulses directly to the spinal cord. This treatment involves implanting a small device under the skin, which sends electrical signals to disrupt the pain signals traveling to the brain. Spinal Cord Stimulators can effectively treat a variety of chronic pain conditions, including neuropathic pain, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). It is typically recommended for individuals who have not found improvement from other pain management methods or who wish to reduce their reliance on pain medications.

Patients often experience relief within a few days to a week after activating the Spinal Cord Stimulator. The longevity of results will vary but may last several years with proper maintenance and programming.
