Spinal cord stimulation (also known as neurostimulation) provides pain relief by disrupting the pain signals traveling between the spinal cord and the brain. It is a proven safe and effective treatment for chronic pain.
One component of spinal cord stimulation is a neurostimulator that:
- Is a device similar to a pacemaker
- Is surgically implanted under the skin, typically in your abdomen or upper buttocks
- Delivers mild electrical impulses to an area near your spine through one or more leads (insulated medical wires).
