Spinal Cord Stimulator: Advanced Pain Management at S.P.I.N.E. Center

Sep 30, 2025

At S.P.I.N.E. Center, we are dedicated to providing cutting-edge pain management solutions for individuals suffering from chronic spine-related pain. One of the most advanced and effective treatments we offer is the Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS)—a device designed to help manage persistent pain by disrupting pain signals before they reach the brain.

What is a Spinal Cord Stimulator?

 

 

A spinal cord stimulator is a small, implantable device that delivers mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord. These impulses interfere with pain signals, preventing them from reaching the brain and reducing the perception of pain. It is an excellent alternative for patients who have not found relief through traditional pain management methods.

Benefits of Spinal Cord Stimulation

  • Significant Pain Relief: Effectively reduces chronic pain by modulating nerve signals.

  • Reduced Dependence on Medications: Minimizes the need for opioid and other pain medications.

  • Improved Mobility and Function: Allows patients to engage in daily activities with greater ease.

  • Minimally Invasive Procedure: The implantation is done with small incisions, resulting in faster recovery times.

  • Adjustable and Reversible: Patients can customize the stimulation settings, and the device can be removed if needed.

Conditions Treated with Spinal Cord Stimulation

  • Spinal cord stimulators are particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from:
  • Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS)

  • Chronic lower back and leg pain

  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

  • Sciatica

  • Peripheral neuropathy

The Spinal Cord Stimulator Procedure

  • Trial Phase: A temporary stimulator is placed to evaluate its effectiveness in pain relief.

  • Permanent Implantation: If the trial is successful, a small pulse generator is implanted under the skin, with thin wires (leads) positioned near the spinal cord.

  • Post-Procedure Adjustments: The device’s settings can be fine-tuned to provide optimal pain relief.
