Proven pain relief that lasts. Get your life back!

Spinal Cord Stimulation

Take a step forward in how you treat chronic diabetic nerve pain, diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), failed back syndrome, post-fusion pain, and phantom limb pain, etc.

What is SCS?

Spinal cord stimulation is a proven, non-opioid, FDA-approved way to manage chronic pain that may be caused by DPN. SCS works by disrupting the pain signals traveling between the spinal cord and the brain.

Stimulation is delivered via a Medtronic Intellis™ or Vanta™ neurostimulator, a device similar to a pacemaker, implanted under the skin.

Potential benefits of SCS therapy

Patients with DPN are 17 times more likely to experience significant pain relief if treated with SCS compared to conventional treatment.^1-3
86% of patients experienced treatment success after receiving SCS therapy for one-year*⁴
Proven long-term therapy for managing chronic pain with the majority of patients experiencing meaningful pain relief through five years of treatment with SCS.⁴

Understand the risks

Risks include infection, lead movement, pain at the implant site, and loss of therapy eﬀectiveness. Not everyone responds to SCS in the same way, and your experiences may vary. Risk of infection and severity of complications may be greater in diabetic patients.
Consider a preoperative risk assessment to determine if you are healthy enough for surgery.
