Spinal Cord Stimulation Reducing Pain    Patient and GP Education
WHAT IS SPINAL CORD STIMULATION?

You have probably had many treatments for your pain, most of which will have been of little or no long-term help. Spinal cord stimulation works by targeting the region of the spinal cord involved in the transmission and processing of pain. We introduce a small amount of electrical current to the back of the spinal cord, which helps to mask the pain that you are feeling. It also increases the blood flow to the heart and legs, often helping patients with angina and peripheral vascular disease.
