Spinal Cord Stimulator
What is a Spinal Cord Stimulator?
If your chronic back or neck pain has not been alleviated with traditional pain relief methods, a spinal cord stimulator may be right for you. A spinal cord stimulator is a device that is surgically implanted beneath the skin which sends a mild electrical current to nerves around the spinal cord for pain relief. The device wearer controls the strength and timing of electrical stimulations via a hand held device.
