Some patients with spinal cord injury are unfortunately paralyzed and the patient and caregivers can be drastically affected in their daily live. When medications and physical therapy don’t provide enough relief, Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) offers a modern and effective alternative. Also, in patients with chronic neck and back pain in which conservative or classic surgical strategies are insufficient, SCS may be the right choice of treatment
A small device is placed under the skin and connected to thin wires near your spinal cord. It sends gentle electrical signals that block pain messages from reaching your brain. Instead of pain, you may feel a mild tingling sensation—many people describe it as soothing. This helps reduce pain and improve comfort in daily life.
Recent studies show that spinal cord stimulation may help some people with spinal cord injuries regain limited movement, improve muscle control, and enhance bladder or bowel function. While not a cure, it offers hope and improved quality of life for those living with paralysis.
