Pain is an electrical signal that travels along nerve fibers through the spinal cord to the brain. The Precision Plus System masks these pain signals by delivering doses of electricity to change the pain signal into something the brain interprets as a pleasant sensation called paresthesia. People describe paresthesia as feeling like a gentle tingling or massage.

"What we have is the brain thinking that there is a tingling sensation or a warm sensation but not a painful sensation coming up that nerve. So we basically outsmart the nervous system." -Dr. John Oakley Diplomate American Board of Neurological Surgery Diplomate American Board of Pain Medicine Many people with failed back surgeries, RSD, CRPS, phantom limb, sciatic nerve,and other types of neuropathic or nerve-related pain have had great success with the Precision System. The cause of your pain, which may be due to injury or disease, is not what will determine if Precision is right for you. Rather, your Pain Specialist will assess the type, severity, and location of your pain and decide if the Precision Plus System can address your neuropathic pain symptoms.
