How does a Spinal Cord Stimulator work?
A Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) is a neuromodulatory device which delivers electrical stimulation to the spinal cord and nerve roots to provide symptomatic relief of chronic pain originating from the trunk and/or limbs. The SCS consists of an electrical pulse generator placed in the body and electrodes implanted near the spinal cord which deliver pulses of electricity to stimulate nerves that send signals to the brain. The stimulation activates a series of ascending and descending neural pathways, resulting in inhibition of nociceptive input, as well as an alteration of the perception of pain. The SCS also produces localized muscle relaxation, which can be beneficial for spasticity management.
Dr. Kalter and his team of pain specialists have treated hundreds of patients suffering from chronic pain with a SCS device. The SCS is installed thru a small incision, allowing for quicker recovery and faster pain relief.
If you’ve been suffering from severe ongoing pain due to a sports injury, work-related injury, automotive accident, or chronic illness, a SCS may be the solution for you. Contact our office in Garden City to schedule an appointment and see what pain relief treatment would best fit your needs.
