Are You a Candidate For a Spinal Cord Stimulator?

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 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. For patients with neck & back pain, spinal cord stimulators can relieve much 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.

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.
