You are not alone with your lower back pain. Back pain, in general, is one of the most common reasons for people to miss work or school. Fortunately, our team of double board-certified doctors at Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians specialize in treatments for back pain, which affects almost everyone at some point in their life.
For most people, the pain is acute, meaning it goes away on its own within a few days or weeks. Although, if that is not the case for you and the pain continues beyond twelve weeks, you have chronic lower back pain and Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians can help you get comfortable again.
Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians is committed to helping you achieve long-term relief and improved function so that you can get back to an active and healthy lifestyle. We proudly offer expert spinal cord stimulation therapy to heal chronic pain. Spinal cord stimulation therapy effectively treats lower back pain and other conditions like chronic regional pain syndrome or failed back surgery syndrome.
What is Spinal Cord Stimulation Treatment?
Spinal cord stimulation is an advanced interventional procedure that uses an electric current to treat chronic pain. It is a minimally invasive treatment in which we implant a pulse-generating device under the skin in your abdomen.
We perform the procedure with you as an outpatient, using a sedative and a local anesthetic. Once the implant is in place, it sends out electrical pulses that interfere with the nerve impulses that cause you to feel pain.
Our physicians are highly experienced in performing this procedure. As a result, we aid many patients using spinal cord stimulation and they find relief from their chronic pain symptoms and enjoy an improved quality of life.
Furthermore, spinal cord stimulation therapy is reversible. So, if at any point you decide to discontinue the treatment, we can remove the device without any permanent changes to the spine.
Pain Relief Doesn’t Have to Be a Challenge
Finding effective treatment for chronic lower back pain can be challenging. So, if surgery or other treatments have proven unsuccessful, spinal cord stimulation could be the solution you seek. If you believe spinal cord stimulation therapy might be right for you, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Spinal Cord Stimulation Specialists at Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians.
