What Is A Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS)
A spinal cord stimulator is a small implanted device that sends signals directly to the spinal cord to relieve pain directly at the source. Small wires are inserted along the spine and attached to a battery pack under the skin. The SCS blocks the perception of pain from reaching the brain and can be controlled by a small handheld device. This powerful device can significantly improve quality of life and function, and significantly reduce or entirely eliminate the need for pain medications.
