Spinal Cord Stimulator

A spinal cord stimulator is a medical device that helps manage chronic pain by delivering mild electrical signals to the spinal cord. These signals interfere with pain signals before they reach the brain, reducing the sensation of pain. The device typically consists of a small generator implanted under the skin and leads with electrodes placed near the spinal cord. It can be programmed and adjusted to provide optimal pain relief. Spinal cord stimulation is often used when other treatments haven’t worked, offering a minimally invasive option to improve quality of life for those with persistent pain.
