Chronic back pain changes your life. Each day presents a challenge, and you have to give up many of the activities you love. One solution is spinal cord stimulator therapy that delivers pain-stopping pulses of electricity as needed. The process involves a minimally invasive surgical procedure to implant a device that lasts up to 10 years. Call today to see if you qualify for a spinal cord stimulator.
Sometimes, we can’t fix the cause of your chronic back pain directly. But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck living with it. Whether due to an injury, disease, or age, chronic back pain limits your quality of life. Some causes of chronic back pain include:
The New Jersey pain management specialists at Redefine Healthcare offer you pain relief with a minimally invasive spinal cord stimulation procedure.For this therapy, your pain specialist implants a small device that sends electrical currents to the nerves in the injured area, masking your pain impulses.
Although spinal cord stimulation doesn’t eliminate the cause of your pain, it lets you get back to most lifestyle activities with less pain.
The trial implant makes sure the device reduces your pain by at least 50 percent. Your New Jersey specialist inserts wires, guided by x-ray fluoroscopy, to the point of pain. They’re connected to an external device and tested before you leave. You’re given instructions and asked to keep a detailed log about use and results. After four to seven days, you meet with your doctor again to decide if an implanted spinal cord stimulator makes sense.
If the trial is successful and you’ve opted for the spinal cord stimulator implant, you are ready for the procedure. You lie on your stomach while the anesthetic takes effect. Using fluoroscopy, your doctor makes small incisions in two spots:
We place the leads in the space around your spinal cord called the epidural space. Sutures hold them in place. Your doctor may test to ensure the correct placement of the leads. Then the wires are guided down, under your skin, to the implanted pulse generator near your buttocks. This device is smaller than a hockey puck. After the incisions are closed, we observe you for some time before sending you home.
We give you instructions about post-op care and recovery, including wound care, medications, activity, and follow-up. The pulse generator is programmed, and your specialist gives you written instructions. The first few weeks after your implant surgery, determine if the spinal cord stimulator will work for you. To make sure the sutures heal, the leads don’t shift, and you have no complications, follow these instructions:
Call your doctor right away if you have any severe symptoms — such as nausea, vomiting, a fever of more than 103 degrees, or severe pain that won’t subside. Watch for any rashes, signs of infection, muscle weakness, or issues like dizziness, confusion, or excessive sleeping. For these symptoms, seek medical attention.
Your implant isn’t affected by a microwave, cell phone, or security doors. Make other doctors, including chiropractors and massage therapists, aware that you have the implant before any procedure. Carry your Implant ID, as airport security technology can detect it. To prevent any complications, consider turning off your device before going through airport screening.
The spinal cord stimulator implant devices today are rechargeable. And they only need to be replaced every eight to 10 years. See if you qualify for this therapy. Contact the pain management specialists at Redefine Healthcare today.
