Neuromodulation

Neuromodulation treatments encompass a growing variety of methods that target the brain or nervous system at specific locations in the body, delivering mild electrical stimulation to relieve pain or restore function.
Spinal Cord Stimulator

Spinal Cord Stimulation is the electrical stimulation over the dorsal aspect of the spinal cord for the relief of pain. Some conditions that can be effective treated with spinal cord stimulator include:

  • Persistent pain after back surgery
  • Refractory low back and leg pain
  • Complex regional pain syndrome
  • Painful peripheral neuropathy
  • Peripheral vascular disease
  • Refractory trigeminal neuralgia and arm pain
  • Post-stroke pain
Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulator

DRG stimulation is a targeted therapy for some of the most challenging cases of pain in the lower extremities. It targets the neuronal bundles called dorsal root ganglion in the spinal cord. Traditional spinal cord stimulation does not always provide adequate relief in the distal extremities and the DRG stimulator is much more specific for the affected body part. Conditions that can be effective treated with spinal cord stimulator include:

  • Complex regional pain syndrome
  • Persistent pain after hip, knee, and ankle injuries or surgeries
  • Painful polyneuropathy in the feet
  • Pelvic and groin pain
Peripheral Nerve Stimulator

Peripheral nerve stimulator uses electric current to relieve pain in the distribution of a single peripheral nerve.

Some conditions that can be treated with peripheral nerve stimulator are:

  • Occipital neuralgia
  • Shoulder pain
  • Post hernia repair 
  • Knee pain
  • Foot pain
  • Pelvic and genital pain
