Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal Cord Stimulation is a new and effective treatment by Dr. Brian Anderson for the most common types of chronic back pain. Here at Summit Brain, Spine and Orthopedics are proud to offer this procedure with the latest advances in Spinal Stimulation. Spinal Cord Stimulation can help you manage chronic pain, allowing you to live a better quality of life. Once implanted, the stimulator sends pain-relieving pulses to interrupt pain pathways.
What Happens During Surgery?
Implantation of the stimulator device in the patient’s lower back requires a minimal incision. Once placed in the patient’s body Dr. Anderson and his neuro team will work with you to establish the device’s working before you leave the hospital.
This procedure effectively treats many spinal cord injuries and stroke-related pain symptoms. It’s also approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) as a creditable option to help manage pain in the spine and other locations in the body.
