What is Spinal and Nerve Stimulation?

Spinal and Nerve Stimulation, also known as neuromodulation or neurostimulation, is a specialized pain management therapy that involves the use of electrical impulses to modify or block pain signals. By targeting specific nerves or the spinal cord, this technique can effectively reduce or eliminate chronic pain, allowing individuals to experience improved comfort, functionality, and quality of life.

How Does Spinal and Nerve Stimulation Work?

Spinal and Nerve Stimulation works by implanting a small device, similar to a pacemaker, that delivers mild electrical pulses to the nerves or the spinal cord. These electrical impulses interrupt or modify pain signals before they reach the brain, providing relief and reducing the perception of pain. The implanted device can be adjusted and programmed to suit your individual needs, allowing for personalized pain management.

Benefits of Spinal and Nerve Stimulation:

  1. Targeted Pain Relief: Spinal and Nerve Stimulation offers precise targeting of the affected nerves or spinal cord, providing focused pain relief. By modulating pain signals, this therapy can effectively manage various chronic pain conditions, such as back pain, neuropathy, failed back surgery syndrome, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

  2. Reduced Dependence on Medications: Spinal and Nerve Stimulation can significantly reduce the need for long-term use of pain medications, including opioids. By providing an alternative approach to pain management, this therapy may help minimize the side effects and risks associated with systemic medications, improving your overall well-being.

  3. Improved Functionality and Quality of Life: By reducing chronic pain, Spinal and Nerve Stimulation can enhance your ability to perform daily activities, engage in physical exercise, and enjoy a more active lifestyle. This can lead to improved functionality, increased independence, and an overall enhancement in your quality of life.

  4. Customized Treatment Approach: At Still Well Pain Management, we take a personalized approach to Spinal and Nerve Stimulation. Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your condition, medical history, and pain management goals to determine if this therapy is suitable for you.

  5. Long-Term Pain Management Solution: Spinal and Nerve Stimulation offers a long-term pain management solution for individuals with chronic pain conditions that have not responded to conventional treatments. The implanted device can be adjusted as needed, allowing for ongoing pain control and improved quality of life.

Spinal and Nerve Stimulation Frequently Asked Questions

The duration of pain relief can vary among individuals. Some patients experience immediate relief during the trial period, while others may require adjustments to achieve optimal pain control. In general, spinal and nerve stimulation can provide long-term relief, with many patients reporting significant improvement in pain for several years.

Yes, spinal and nerve stimulation is reversible. During the trial period, temporary electrodes are placed to assess the effectiveness of the therapy. If the trial is successful and you decide to proceed with the permanent implantation, a small device is implanted under the skin. However, if for any reason you no longer wish to continue the therapy, the device can be removed through a minor surgical procedure.

Spinal and nerve stimulation can be effective for a wide range of chronic pain conditions, including back pain, neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and failed back surgery syndrome. However, each case is unique, and the suitability of the therapy will be determined through a thorough evaluation by our pain management specialists. They will assess your specific condition and medical history to determine if spinal and nerve stimulation is an appropriate option for you.

During spinal and nerve stimulation, you may feel a mild tingling sensation or a gentle pulsing in the area where the electrodes are placed. This sensation can vary from person to person and can be adjusted to a comfortable level. The goal is to provide pain relief without causing discomfort.

After the permanent implantation of the spinal and nerve stimulation device, you may experience some soreness or discomfort at the incision site. However, the recovery process is generally well-tolerated, and most patients are able to resume their daily activities within a few days. Our team will provide you with specific post-procedure instructions, including how to care for the incision site and guidelines for physical activities during the healing period.
