Description
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) could be one of the best options for adults suffering from very severe and chronic pain in their legs and arms due to damage to the nerves or any neuropathic condition which has not responded well to other methods of treatment like medication, physical therapy, injections, nerve blocks, or any other treatment modality. People who could benefit from SCS may include those people suffering from chronic pain post spine surgery, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), some peripheral neuropathy where surgery will not offer significant benefits or are not indicated. Prior to permanent insertion, people usually have a comprehensive medical checkup and if required, a temporary SCS trial to find out the efficacy of stimulation on their pain relief and improved functionality. A psychological evaluation may also be done to assess patient's expectations regarding the outcome of the procedure. If you have chronic back pain, leg pain, or nerve pain and are not getting any relief from other treatment modalities, visiting an expert spine and pain management doctor at The Advanced Spine Center would be of great help to you.
