Our institute offers peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), spinal cord stimulation (SCS), and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation. There are many benefits to these cutting-edge nerve stimulators, such as banishing pain and, as importantly – curbing chronic opioid use. Keep reading for a breakdown:
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation: PNS uses micro-stimulators implanted near the nerve site where the pain is coming from to stimulate the nerve, helping your body disregard pain signals the affected nerve is sending. You can control the intensity of the stimulation at will using a wireless remote.
Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation: DRG stimulation is a long-term solution to chronic pain, as this innovative device has been known to mitigate the symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). This nerve stimulator targets the source of pain throughout your body and blocks its signals from reaching your brain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation: SCS is safely placed on the spine to control the intensity of the pulses, just like with PNS. These stimulations distract the brain, changing how it perceives pain and gives you some much-needed chronic pain management.
