Spinal Cord Stimulation: A spinal cord stimulator works by masking pain signals before they reach the brain. A stimulator device delivers electric pulses to electrodes placed over the spinal cord. Modified by the pulses, the pain signals are either not perceived or are replaced by a tingling feeling. The best candidates for SCS treatment are patients who suffer from chronic back or neck pain that's not related to movement. SCS can also benefit patients who have pain remaining after back surgery that is not due to movement, as well as patients with conditions including: Lumbar radiculopathy. Sciatica.
