A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is a device implanted in the body to help manage chronic pain, particularly in the back, legs, or arms. It works by sending low-level electrical pulses to the spinal cord, blocking pain signals before they reach the brain. This minimally invasive procedure provides relief for conditions such as failed back surgery syndrome, neuropathic pain, and complex regional pain syndrome.
The implantation process typically involves a trial phase, where a temporary device is placed to determine if the stimulator effectively relieves pain. If successful, a permanent device is implanted. The procedure is done with small incisions, and patients experience less disruption to surrounding tissues and a quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Post-procedure care includes managing settings on the device and follow-up visits to ensure proper function and pain relief.
After the implantation of a spinal cord stimulator (SCS), primary care focuses on ensuring proper healing, managing the device, and optimizing pain relief. This includes monitoring the device’s effectiveness, providing pain management, and guiding the patient through any lifestyle adjustments necessary for long-term success.

Specialized expertise in spinal cord stimulator (SCS) implantation is essential for effective management of chronic pain. Experts in minimally invasive orthopedics and pain management utilize the latest technology and techniques to ensure precise placement of the device, personalized adjustments for maximum pain relief, and comprehensive care throughout the process.
The spinal cord stimulator (SCS) treatment process begins with a thorough evaluation to determine suitability for the device. A trial phase is conducted to assess the effectiveness of the stimulator in relieving pain, followed by the permanent implantation if successful. This minimally invasive procedure is performed with small incisions, ensuring a quicker recovery and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
A comprehensive assessment of the patient's medical history, pain levels, and imaging studies to determine if SCS is an appropriate treatment.
A temporary stimulator is implanted to test its effectiveness in reducing pain, allowing the patient to assess its benefits before the permanent device is placed.
If the trial is successful, a permanent spinal cord stimulator is implanted, and recovery is closely monitored with follow-up visits to adjust settings for optimal pain relief.
