The implant can provide long-term relief and remain effective for many years. The system is reversible and can be removed if needed, though most patients choose to keep it due to the significant benefits.
Spinal cord stimulation can effectively treat various chronic pain conditions including failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), neuropathic pain, and chronic back or leg pain.
Recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks for full healing. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and gradually increase activity levels as recommended by their doctor.
