Interventional Pain Procedure
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
Spinal cord stimulation uses a small, implanted device to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain — offering lasting relief from chronic back and leg pain when other treatments haven't worked. (Sample copy — replace with real clinical content.)
What Spinal Cord Stimulation Treats
SCS is often recommended for chronic pain that hasn't responded to medication, physical therapy, or prior surgery. A small device delivers mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord, replacing pain with little or no sensation. (Placeholder.)
- Chronic back and leg pain
- Failed back surgery syndrome
- Sciatica and nerve-related (radicular) pain
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
How It Works
Most patients start with a short trial to confirm relief before a permanent device is placed. (Placeholder.)
Trial Period
A temporary device is placed to confirm meaningful pain relief before committing to an implant.
Implantation
If the trial is successful, the device is implanted in a minimally invasive, image-guided outpatient procedure.
Personalized Programming
Your device is fine-tuned to your pain patterns and adjusted over time as your needs change.
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for spinal cord stimulation if: (Placeholder — a consultation confirms candidacy.)
- Your pain has lasted longer than six months
- Medication and therapy haven't given lasting relief
- You want to reduce reliance on pain medication
- You're seeking an alternative to further open surgery

Recovery & Common Questions
Most patients return home the same day and resume light activity within a few days, with full guidance from our care team. (Placeholder — recovery varies by patient.)
Is spinal cord stimulation reversible?
Yes — because you trial the therapy first and the device can be turned off or removed, SCS is considered a reversible option. (Placeholder.)
Is the procedure done in a hospital?
No — most SCS procedures are performed on an outpatient basis in our modern ambulatory surgery center. (Placeholder.)
How long does relief last?
Many patients experience long-term relief, with the device adjusted over time to match their needs. (Placeholder.)
