Chronic Pain

If you need spinal cord stimulation in Monroe, LA, you will likely have chronic pain. It is a sign that alerts you when an underlying condition requires attention. Pain takes the joy out of living and stops you in your tracks, significantly decreasing your quality of life.

Alternative medicine, with no side effects, has its own set of unique tools to conquer pain, and spinal cord stimulation is one of these highly successful methods.

What Is Spinal Cord Stimulation?

Pain is not normal and is not a resigned fact of aging. Pain is a symptom brought on by an underlying condition. Once we determine the underlying problem, we may decrease or eliminate your pain, especially if it relates to the back and spine. There can be many reasons for back pain.  

If you have a pacemaker, bleeding issues, are taking a blood thinner, or have a curved spine, you may not be a good candidate for SCS.

A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) requires our doctor to insert a small device near the upper spine, your abdomen, or upper buttocks just under the skin. The stimulator has thin wires that connect to nerve fibers. These wires send a pulse to simulate these nerves, thus reducing pain in the targeted areas, treating lower back pain, post-op surgery back pain, arm, chest, abdomen, leg pain, shingles and facial pain, and nerve pain unresponsive to other treatments.

Spinal cord stimulation does not remove an underlying condition causing pain. However, this treatment helps you manage your pain symptoms, thus allowing you to do more and increasing your quality of life.

Inserting a stimulator near your spine is the first step in conquering your pain. Our doctor must work closely with you to fine-tune its function until you receive the full benefits of this treatment.

• Reduced need for drugs
