Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) — A Leading Treatment Option

For many patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, SCS therapy provides life-
changing relief when other treatments have failed.

What Is a Spinal Cord Stimulator?

An SCS is a small device implanted under the skin that sends mild electric pulses to the spinal cord. These pulses interfere with the pain signals being sent to the brain.

“Think of it as a ‘pacemaker for pain.’ Instead of feeling sharp or chronic aching, many patients experience a gentle tingling or simply no pain at all.”
