Chronic Pain and Neuromodulation
Currently, there are over 50 million chronic pain sufferers, many of whom have exhausted all methods of pain treatment, including powerful pain medications and multiple surgeries, and yet still continue to experience severe chronic pain.
Neuromodulation or spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy is used for treatment of neuropathic pain, a serious condition, where the nerve fibers are injured or impaired and results in a change in nerve function causing severe pain.
This FDA-approved treatment has been in use for more than 30 years, with more than 100,000 patients currently feeling pain relief and regaining many aspects of their life.
This minimally invasive, non-destructive and reversible procedure allows a pain specialist to assess whether SCS is the right pain management system for your patient.
The majority of health plans reimburse for SCS therapy making it a viable, cost-efficient option for your patients to find relief from chronic pain and enhance their activities of daily living.
Precision Plus™ SCS System
The newest system, Precision Plus, is small, comfortable, and discreet—about half the size of other rechargeable SCS devices. It is the only SCS system designed to precisely and simultaneously target pain in up to four areas, as well as maintain optimal therapy over time, even adjusting for impedance changes that occur with physiological adaptation.
Our online medical resources will help you further understand how neuromodulation can enhance the quality of your patients’ lives.
