SPINAL CORD STIMULATION (SCS)

Introduction to Spinal Cord Stimulation

At Pain Management Care, PC, we understand the debilitating effects of chronic pain and the impact it can have on your daily life. That's why we offer innovative treatments, including Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS), to provide effective and long-lasting pain relief.

What is Spinal Cord Stimulation?

Spinal Cord Stimulation, often referred to as SCS, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the placement of small electrodes along the spinal cord. These electrodes deliver mild electrical currents to block pain signals from reaching the brain, providing relief for various chronic pain conditions.

Benefits of Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal Cord Stimulation offers several benefits for individuals suffering from chronic pain:

• Pain Relief: SCS can significantly reduce or eliminate pain caused by conditions such as failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome, and neuropathy.
• Improved Quality of Life: By alleviating chronic pain, SCS can improve your ability to perform daily activities, participate in hobbies, and enjoy a better overall quality of life.
• Reduced Dependence on Medications: SCS can decrease the reliance on pain medications, reducing the risk of side effects and addiction.
• Customizable Treatment: The stimulation settings can be adjusted to suit your specific pain patterns and preferences, ensuring personalized and optimal pain management.

How Does Spinal Cord Stimulation Work?

The Spinal Cord Stimulation procedure involves several steps:

1. Trial Implantation

During the trial period, which typically lasts for a few days, a temporary electrode is implanted near the spinal cord. This allows you to determine if SCS provides significant pain relief and meets your expectations.

2. Permanent Implantation

If the trial period is successful and you experienced significant pain relief, a permanent SCS system will be implanted. This system consists of a small generator, which is typically placed under the skin, and the electrodes that deliver the electrical currents.

3. Post-Implantation Recovery

After the permanent implantation, a period of recovery is necessary. Our specialized team will provide detailed post-operative instructions and closely monitor your progress to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Spinal Cord Stimulation may be a suitable option for individuals who:

• Suffer from chronic pain that has not responded to conservative treatments.
