Spinal Cord Stimulator in Ventura

Spinal cord stimulator (SCS) therapy is a small implantable medical device used to help control chronic low back and/or leg pain due to different diagnoses including lumbar radiculopathy or sciatica, failed back surgery, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, and more. The device works by sending small electrical impulses to the nerves in the spine to interrupt pain signals on the way to the brain.

A spinal cord stimulator is a good option for people who can’t get much relief with pain medications, epidural injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, or surgery. It’s also an option for people who don’t want to take opioids or have struggled with a past addiction.

If you have been struggling with chronic low back and/or lower extremity pain that has not responded well to other treatments already, then a spinal cord stimulator may work for you.
