Suppose you have exhausted all treatment methods for chronic spine aches without relief. In that case, SCS can offer an alternative way that can help manage your pain while also helping to reduce dependency on opioids.
SCS works with the help of a small spinal nerve stimulator placed on the spinal cord that masks the ache by stopping the pain signal from reaching the brain by delivering electrical pulses to the spine.
So, if you are suffering from pain in the arms, leg, neck, or back and are looking for long-term relief in Coppell, Carrollton, Grapevine, TX, and surrounding areas, consider getting SCS treatment at Apex Interventional Pain & Spine.
Your pain, treatment, and medication history are among the few pointers that will decide if you would get optimum benefit with SCS. You would also undergo a physical evaluation with an expert to check if your health conditions suit SCS.
In general, patients who have undergone spine surgeries, have suffered from excruciating chronic pain for more than three months, and have had no or little results with regular pain treatments are advised to undergo SCS.
The other factors that are taken into consideration are:
We experience pain when we injure ourselves. This pain is a nerve signal that warns our brain of the injury so that we further do not hurt in the same place. Chronic pain develops when our nervous system keeps sending the pain signal even after the injury has healed.
SCS helps manage chronic pain by intercepting the pain signals before they reach our brain. Hence, with a spinal stimulator for neuropathy implanted in the spinal cord, all you would feel is a tingling of the electrical signals instead of the debilitating pain.
SCS can help you get relief if you have been suffering because of the following:
The symptoms depend on the cause and can range from burning and throbbing to sharp and shooting pain. The pain is usually irregular, can occur at any given time, and can be extremely crippling, leading to reduced quality of life.
There are several benefits of spinal stimulators for neuropathy, such as:
There would first be a trial SCS procedure whereby you would receive local anesthesia and sedatives. Insulated wires or leads will be inserted into the space adjacent to your spine. The wires would remain connected to an external spinal nerve stimulator for the trial. Once the trial is done, the leads will be removed from your body. There is little to no pain or discomfort during the procedure.
If the stimulator effectively offers relief from pain, you can go for the permanent implantation, which is done by making a tiny incision at the location of the embedding. Everything else remains similar to the trial procedure.
