Spinal Cord Stimulation

If you have been experiencing chronic pain in the lower back or leg region for some time now, surgery need not be your only option. Your pain care specialists at Advanced Pain Care will assist you with options such as spinal cord stimulation, which is a non-medication, non-invasive and completely reversible process. This treatment works by using a neurostimulator implanted under the skin to block the pain signals from reaching the brain. The electric pulses generated by the device can mask and reduce the pain that you are experiencing. As the patient receiving the treatment, you will also have complete control on the process as you can switch off or remove the neurostimulator when you feel the need to.

  2. Spinal Cord StimulationSpinal cord stimulation therapy provides an advanced alternative to people who are suffering. If you have been dealing with chronic pain, you know how its tentacles work their way into virtually every aspect of your daily life, holding you back from enjoying even the simplest tasks that you used to take for granted.

  3. What is Spinal Cord Stimulation? This therapeutic approach to pain, also known as neurostimulation, relies on electronic pulses to intercept the pain messages your spinal column transmits to your brain. Although the concept is not new – the FDA approved many neurostimulation devices in the 1980s — the technology has progressed rapidly, making spinal cord stimulation therapy a relatively easy and often effective alternative to surgery. Also, if you have already been through back surgery, but the pain remains, you should ask your doctor about this treatment.

  4. How Does It Work? The physician inserts thin wire transmitters into the epidural space in your spine. These wires connect to a battery-powered unit that you carry with you during the trial. Multiple areas of pain can be controlled via various programs on a hand held remote control that talks to the battery. After the trial period, you and your doctor will put your heads together to determine whether the therapy works for you, and if so, you will receive a small, battery-powered pulse generator implant, similar to the external trial device.

  5. What Are the Benefits? You get some pretty significant benefits from spinal cord stimulation, including: • Quick recovery from a minimally invasive implant procedure • The ability to actually take control of your pain • Pain relief that works on its own or in partnership with medication • A cost effective therapy that is typically covered by insurance • Little downtime and recovery, especially in comparison to major surgery

  6. Will Spinal Cord Stimulation Work for You?
