Who is a candidate for a spinal cord stimulator?
To determine which individuals will benefit from a spinal cord stimulator, doctors use a careful selection process, which may include pain history, physical condition, current medication, psychological evaluation, expectations for surgery and meeting requirements for treatment. Individuals selected for spinal cord stimulation usually have had chronic pain for more than 6 months in the lower back, leg, or arm and have not seen results from other treatments, such as medication, physical therapy, injections, or surgery. Spinal Cord Stimulation can help with: • Failed Back Syndrome (FBS) • Post laminectomy pain • Radiculopathy • Spinal foraminal stenosis • Sciatica • Unsuccessful disc surgery • Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) • Epidural fibrosis • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) • Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) Call us today to book an appointment for spinal cord stimulation, or visit our clinic conveniently located at 7704 San Jacinto Place, Suite #200, Plano, TX 75024.
