Tony was full of life—mountain biking, fishing, and riding his motorcycle whenever he could. As a passionate chef, he thrived in the fast-paced kitchen, working 60+ hour weeks. But after a severe ankle sprain that led to debilitating arthritis, he had to amputate his leg in 2011. He was diagnosed with Causalgia (CRPS type II). Years of trying to manage nerve pain in his stump brought no relief—until he discovered Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) stimulation therapy. During a two-day trial, he walked five miles pain-free around Central Park. That moment changed everything. Today, Tony is back to doing what he loves, and his loved ones say his light shines brighter than ever.

You may have already tried several treatments for your pain without finding relief. If your current treatment plan isn't working to manage your pain, it might be time for you to consider neurostimulation.
Mary, a 52-year-old, was the definition of active. She worked out 5 to 6 times a week and spent time with her family outdoors. Movement was her joy until spine surgery in 2012 that changed everything causing post -laminectomy syndrome with nerve damage. The pain was relentless. Simple things like sitting with her legs crossed became impossible. Mary had tried homeopathic remedies, pain patches, and pain medications which provided little relief. After moving to her hometown, her doctor introduced her to spinal cord stimulation (SCS), where she said she experienced “more than 80% relief.” After her trial, she's back kayaking with her daughter, enjoying family adventures, and feeling alive and free again. Learn how spinal cord stimulation (SCS) helped Mary reclaim her life and rediscover joy in movement.

When chronic pain doesn’t respond to medications or physical therapy, it can feel like you’re out of options. But there’s hope. Neurostimulation is a therapy that uses mild electrical pulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain.
If you or someone you know is living with chronic pain. Abbott has education, resources, and support ready for you.

Welcome to Abbott's Chronic Pain community page, dedicated to sharing and celebrating everyday moments of living well while managing chronic pain. Our commitment is to help you live your best life possible through good health. One way we do that is by researching and developing better ways to give you relief from chronic pain.
We want you to have a place to share thoughts about taking better control of your chronic pain and living your best life. One way to take better control is with neurostimulation.
When you feel chronic pain, it is because your nerves are sending pain signals to your brain. Neurostimulation therapy works to reduce pain by altering the pain signals before they reach the brain. A generator, similar to a cardiac pacemaker, sends stimulation pulses to a thin wire called a lead. The lead delivers these pulses to nerves along the spinal column, which modifies the pain signals as they travel to different parts of the brain. The pulses change the way your body perceives the pain — providing potential relief.
One of the benefits of neurostimulation is that you can try the therapy using a temporary system before committing to an implanted system.
Consider taking control of your chronic pain and feeling more like yourself again.
Risk Information: The placement of a neurostimulation system requires surgery, which exposes patients to certain risks. Complications such as infection, swelling, bruising and possibly the loss of strength or use in an affected limb or muscle group (e.g. paralysis) are possible. Additional risks such as undesirable changes in stimulation may occur over time. Be sure to talk to your doctor about the possible risks associated with neurostimulation.
