Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is achieved by placing leads within the epidural space next to the part of the spinal cord responsible for feeling pain. SCS can effectively decrease chronic intractable pain of the trunk, low back, and limbs due to failed back surgery, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), peripheral neuropathy, and chronic pain syndrome. It can be so effective at helping patients become pain free that oral pain medication can be eliminated! It is one of the many rewarding procedures I perform in my office that help patients get back to doing the activities they love.
