Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal Cord Stimulation at Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists
For individuals suffering from chronic pain in the back, legs, or arms that hasn’t responded to other treatments, Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) offers an innovative, minimally invasive solution. At Southern Coast Spine & Pain Specialists, we are proud to provide this advanced pain management option that can help reduce or eliminate chronic pain, allowing patients to regain their quality of life.
Conditions Treated with Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation can be an effective treatment option for a variety of chronic pain conditions, including:
- Chronic Back Pain: Persistent back pain that has not improved with surgery or other treatments.
- Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS): Ongoing pain after one or more spine surgeries.
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): A chronic pain condition that usually affects an arm or leg, often after injury or surgery.
- Peripheral Neuropathy: Nerve damage that causes pain, tingling, and numbness, particularly in the arms or legs.
- Radiculopathy: Pain caused by compressed or irritated nerve roots in the spine, commonly referred to as sciatica.
- Spinal Stenosis: A narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, causing pain.
- Post-Laminectomy Pain: Persistent pain following surgery to remove part of the vertebra (laminectomy).
Benefits of Spinal Cord Stimulation
Effective Pain Relief: SCS can provide significant pain relief for many patients who have not responded to other treatments.
Non-Pharmaceutical: SCS offers a non-drug approach to managing chronic pain, helping patients reduce or eliminate their reliance on opioid medications.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure is minimally invasive, with a relatively quick recovery time compared to more extensive surgeries.
Reversible: If spinal cord stimulation is not effective, the device can be removed or turned off without causing permanent changes to the spine.
Customizable: The device allows for adjustments in the level of stimulation, giving patients greater control over their pain management.
