Understanding Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an advanced neuromodulation technique that helps manage chronic pain through targeted electrical impulses. This innovative treatment is particularly effective for:

  • Failed back surgery syndrome
  • Complex regional pain syndrome
  • Chronic neuropathic pain

How Spinal Cord Stimulation Works

Spinal cord stimulation works by delivering mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain. This advanced technology allows patients to control their pain management through a handheld device, providing personalized relief when needed.
