Spine & Pain
Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS)
An implantable device that replaces pain signals with a mild stimulation, for chronic pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.
Overview
A spinal cord stimulator delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. Every patient starts with a temporary trial — a short outpatient procedure to confirm the therapy provides meaningful relief before committing to a permanent implant.

- •Chronic radicular (nerve) pain not responding to other treatments
- •Complex regional pain syndrome
What to Expect
