Neuropathy Specialists in Cleveland, OH

Are You Ready For a New Sensation?

With different types identified, neuropathy, also known as nerve damage, takes place when nerves no longer function normally. The intensity of symptoms may vary throughout the day and oftentimes be challenging for patients who have to manage harsh symptoms on their own. Painful diabetic neuropathy is one form that impacts patients.

At BEST Health System, neuropathy is one of the many conditions we treat with expert care. Our neuropathy specialist works with patients using a range of treatments. More than 20 million people are living with this nerve condition in the USA alone, and BEST Health System wants to help as many people as possible.

Spinal Cord Stimulator Treatment

A spinal cord stimulator is a cutting-edge medical device that can reduce nerve pain. Through the use of new technology, low-level electrical signals move toward the spinal cord to modify pain signals and provide relief for chronic pain conditions.

We offer modern solutions for patients struggling with a range of neuropathy types including painful diabetic neuropathy. Spinal cord stimulators, sometimes referred to as (SCS), deliver electrical pulses to the spinal cord. These pulses can then block pain signals from being sent to the brain. This allows painful diabetic neuropathy patients to minimize the pain they experience due to their condition. For patients with leg pain, spinal cord stimulators can relieve 50% of the pain.

At BEST, we offer patients diagnostic testing with the SCS device so they can determine whether it is the right option for them. If patients find relief with it, we can implant a permanent device.
