Are you struggling with chronic pain that won’t go away despite trying various treatments? At Tricity Pain Associates, we offer a cutting-edge solution that could finally bring you the relief you need: Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS).

What is Spinal Cord Stimulation?

Spinal Cord Stimulation is an advanced pain management therapy designed to treat chronic pain conditions. The SCS system consists of a small device implanted under the skin that delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord. These pulses disrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, effectively reducing or even eliminating the perception of pain.

How Does Spinal Cord Stimulation Work?

The Spinal Cord Stimulator device alters the way your body processes pain. Instead of feeling chronic pain, you may experience a gentle tingling sensation or no discomfort at all. This therapy is fully customizable, allowing your pain management specialist to adjust the level of stimulation to meet your specific needs and pain patterns.

Benefits of Spinal Cord Stimulation

SCS offers numerous advantages for individuals suffering from chronic pain:

Effective Pain Relief: Many patients report significant and long-lasting pain relief, enabling them to regain control of their lives.

Minimally Invasive Procedure: The implantation of the SCS device is a minimally invasive surgery with a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgical options.

Personalized Pain Management: The SCS system is customizable, ensuring that the therapy is tailored to your unique pain profile.

Reduced Dependency on Medications: By effectively managing your pain, SCS can help decrease your reliance on opioid medications and reduce the risk of side effects.

Is Spinal Cord Stimulation Right for You?

If you suffer from chronic pain that hasn’t responded to conventional treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or less invasive procedures, Spinal Cord Stimulation could be a viable option. This therapy is particularly effective for conditions like chronic back pain, failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS), and neuropathic pain.

During your consultation at Tricity Pain Associates, our experienced pain management specialists will assess your medical history, evaluate your pain condition, and discuss your treatment goals. This comprehensive evaluation ensures that Spinal Cord Stimulation is recommended only if it’s the right option for your pain management needs.

The SCS Procedure: What to Expect

The process of receiving a Spinal Cord Stimulator begins with a trial phase. During this trial, temporary leads are placed near your spinal cord and connected to an external stimulator. This allows you and your doctor to determine how well the therapy relieves your pain. If the trial is successful, a permanent device is implanted.

The permanent SCS implantation is an outpatient procedure, meaning you can return home the same day. Most patients experience a significant reduction in pain soon after the procedure, with minimal downtime.
