Which Option Is Right for Your Back or Nerve Pain?
If you are dealing with ongoing back or nerve pain, you may be deciding between another surgery or a different approach. Many patients ask:
Should I have another back surgery, or try a spinal cord stimulator?
At Medway Pain Center in El Paso, TX, we help patients understand both options so they can make the best decision for their health.
Back surgery is often done to: Remove pressure from nerves, Fix
structural problems in the spine, Treat herniated discs or spinal
instability. For many patients, surgery can help. But for others,
pain may continue even after surgery.
A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is a small device placed near the
spine that helps reduce pain signals before they reach the brain. Instead of removing the source of pain, it changes how your body
feels pain.
One of the biggest advantages of spinal cord stimulation: You can try it first. This is something surgery cannot offer.

It depends on the cause of your pain. For nerve-related pain, SCS is often a strong option.
In many cases, yes—especially if the pain is not due to a structural problem.
SCS is commonly used for patients with failed back surgery syndrome.
The device can be removed if needed, making it a flexible option.
