Spinal Cord Stimulators



Spinal Cord Stimulators are used as an effective treatment for back pain management. This outpatient procedure can be used to treat many kinds of back pain including pain caused by:



• Diabetic Neuropathy
• 
Failed Back and Neck Surgery
• 
Nerve Pain
Pain from Peripheral Vascular Disease


Spinal cord stimulation does not address the causes of the pain, but very effectively eliminates back pain. During the procedure, electrical wires are inserted into the spinal canal. The wires are connected to a programmable pulse generator, which is implanted under the skin. The electric pulses, which feel like a comfortable buzzing in the pain area, block pain signals from reaching the brain.

The patient controls the spinal cord stimulator using a magnetic remote control to adjust intensity as needed. Spinal cord stimulation enables the patient to control pain relief. The portable system can be used any time or anywhere. Finally free of pain, patients get back to life and resume their normal daily activities.
