Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation, or neuromodulation, can be an effective alternative or adjunct treatment to conventional therapies such as medications and physical therapy.
An implantable spinal cord stimulator uses small electrical signals delivered through electrode leads which are implanted within the epidural space. Pain signals that pass the area are disrupted and inhibited before they can reach the brain. There are a number of potential benefits which have been established with extensive use and testing.
Published studies have demonstrated that when used in carefully selected patients spinal cord stimulation can significantly improve long term pain relief, improve quality of life and reduce disability.1

Some Representative Medical Studies
"At 24 months of SCS treatment, selected failed back surgery syndrome patients reported sustained pain relief, clinically important improvements in functional capacity and health-related quality of life, and satisfaction with treatment."
"In selected patients with FBSS, SCS provides better pain relief and improves health-related quality of life and functional capacity compared with CMM alone."
This study demonstrates long-term superiority of HF10 therapy compared
with traditional SCS in treating both back and leg pain.
