Spinal Cord Stimulators with BEST

We offer a modern solution for patients struggling with a range of issues. Spinal cord stimulator devices, sometimes referred to as (SCS), deliver electrical pulses to the spinal cord. These pulses block pain signals from being sent to the brain. We provide patients with the battery power they need to continue living a life of comfort.

When is Spinal Cord Stimulation an Option?

Although not every condition is treatable with a spinal cord stimulator, commonly treated conditions include:

Chronic back and leg pain

Due to age-related conditions.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS)

Complications related to previous spine surgery.

Arachnoiditis

Painful inflammation of the thin membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord.

Neuropathy

Related to diabetes.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

A progressive condition that causes pain in the extremities.

Radiculopathy

Nerve damage or injury related to the nerve root or spine.
