spinal cord stimulators

A spinal cord stimulator is a small medical device implanted in your back that sends electrical signals to your spinal cord. These signals interfere with pain messages before they reach your brain, helping to reduce chronic pain. The device typically consists of a generator (like a pacemaker) placed under your skin and thin wires called leads placed near the spinal cord. It is usually controlled with a remote, allowing you to adjust the stimulation. Spinal cord stimulation is often used when other pain treatments haven’t been effective, providing relief and improving quality of life.
