Understanding Spinal Cord and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
What is Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)?
Spinal Cord Stimulation involves the use of a small device implanted near the spinal cord. This device delivers electrical impulses that interfere with pain signals before they reach the brain. SCS is particularly effective for conditions such as:
- Chronic back pain
- Sciatica
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
- Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS)
What is Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)?
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation targets specific nerves outside the spinal cord. Similar to SCS, it uses electrical impulses to block pain signals, providing relief for localized pain. PNS is often used to treat:
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Post-surgical pain
- Pain from nerve injuries
Benefits of Spinal Cord and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation
- Significant Pain Reduction: Many patients experience a substantial decrease in pain, allowing for reduced reliance on pain medications.
- Improved Mobility: With pain under control, you can enjoy increased mobility and engage in daily activities with greater ease.
- Minimally Invasive: Both SCS and PNS procedures are minimally invasive, offering shorter recovery times and fewer risks compared to traditional surgeries.
- Adjustable and Reversible: The stimulation levels can be adjusted to suit your needs, and the devices can be removed if necessary.
