Spinal Cord Stimulation

Chronic pain can limit mobility, reduce independence, and make everyday activities difficult, affecting overall quality of life. When pain persists despite treatment, advanced therapies may help restore function and improve daily living.

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive therapy that uses a small implanted device to deliver controlled electrical impulses to the spinal cord. These signals help modify how pain is processed by the nervous system, reducing the intensity of pain perceived by the brain.

At AHBA, Spinal Cord Stimulation offers an advanced treatment option designed to manage chronic pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life through precision neuromodulation technology.

Frequently asked
questions

Is Spinal Cord Stimulation Safe?

Yes. Spinal Cord Stimulation is considered a safe and minimally invasive procedure when performed by trained medical professionals in a properly equipped clinical setting.

At AHBA, patient safety is our highest priority. We follow strict sterile techniques, advanced procedural protocols, and evidence-based safety standards throughout every stage of treatment. Our procedures are performed by our experienced medical provider using image-guided technology to ensure precision, safety, and optimal outcomes.

What should I expect during the procedure?

During the procedure, a small device delivers low-voltage electrical impulses to targeted areas near the spinal cord to help modulate pain signals before they reach the brain.

Some patients may experience a mild tingling or vibrating sensation, gentle stimulation in the area of pain, and minimal discomfort during lead placement.

What conditions can be treated with spinal cord stimulation?

Spinal Cord Stimulation may benefit individuals with chronic nerve-related pain that has not adequately responded to conservative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, injections, or prior surgery.

Common conditions include:

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS)
Chronic radicular pain or sciatica
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Peripheral neuropathy
Chronic neuropathic pain
Persistent post-surgical pain syndromes

How long should I recover after a spinal cord stimulation procedure?

The recovery after spinal cord stimulation depends on the condition, and it may vary from person to person. Some patients, after the procedure may still experience pain and discomfort.

At AHBA, we closely monitor your progress through scheduled follow-up visits and personalized treatment care adjustments. Our provider continuously assesses your response to therapy and personalizes your recovery plan to optimize long-term pain control, mobility, and overall function.

Who are the individuals who can not be candidates for spinal cord stimulation?

Individuals with active infections, uncontrolled medical conditions, or certain untreated psychological conditions may not be ideal candidates. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine suitability and ensure the safest and most effective treatment approach.
