Spinal Cord Stimulation: A Solution for Chronic Pain
Are you a resident of Chandler, Sun Lakes, Ahwatukee, Tempe, Maricopa, Casa Grande, Gilbert, Phoenix, or Mesa, Arizona, seeking relief from chronic pain? Red Butte Pain Solutions offers a promising treatment option: Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS).
What is Spinal Cord Stimulation?
SCS is a therapy that uses a small device implanted under your skin to send low-level electrical signals directly into your spinal cord. These signals help manage chronic pain by modifying or blocking pain signals before they reach the brain.
When is Spinal Cord Stimulation Indicated?
SCS is often considered after nonsurgical pain treatment options have failed to provide sufficient relief. It’s commonly indicated for managing different types of chronic pain, including:
- Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS): Persistent back pain even after surgery.
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): A chronic pain condition affecting one limb, usually after an injury.
- Vascular Causes: Pain resulting from conditions like Peripheral Vascular Disease.
Benefits of Spinal Cord Stimulation
SCS offers several benefits:
- Pain Reduction: SCS can lead to a significant reduction in pain intensity.
- Improved Mobility and Activity Level: By managing chronic pain, SCS can enhance your mobility and allow you to lead a more active lifestyle.
- Better Sleep: Chronic pain can disrupt sleep. By managing this pain, SCS can improve sleep duration and quality.
- Reduced Need for Pain Medicines: SCS can potentially decrease reliance on pain medications, offering an alternative to opioids, which may become addictive.
Patient Satisfaction with Spinal Cord Stimulation
Studies show high levels of patient satisfaction with SCS. A systematic review and meta-analysis found that the pooled proportion of patients who reported satisfaction from all studies was 82.2%.
