Are You a Candidate For a Spinal Cord Stimulator?

A spinal cord stimulator is a cutting-edge medical device that can reduce nerve pain ideal for painful diabetic neuropathy. Through the use of modern 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 conditions stemming from a range of neuropathy types. 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.

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.
