Overview

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive pain management therapy used to help treat certain chronic pain conditions. The treatment works by delivering mild electrical impulses near the spinal cord to help modify the way pain signals are transmitted to the brain. Potential applications of spinal cord stimulation include: • Chronic back pain • Chronic leg pain • Certain nerve-related pain conditions • Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Key features of SCS: • A trial period is typically completed before permanent implantation to evaluate effectiveness. • Therapy settings can often be adjusted to meet an individual's needs. • The treatment is designed to complement a comprehensive pain management plan. • For appropriate candidates, SCS may help improve daily function and overall quality of life. Because every patient is different, a thorough medical evaluation is necessary to determine whether spinal cord stimulation is an appropriate treatment option based on a person's condition and medical history.
