Spinal Cord Stimulator & Intrathecal Pump

Advanced Pain Solutions

Specialized treatments including Spinal Cord Stimulators and Intrathecal Pumps.

Safe & Targeted Therapy

Implanted devices deliver precise therapy directly to the nervous system.

Long-term Relief

Proven to reduce chronic pain and improve overall quality of life.

Spinal Cord Stimulator

What is a Spinal Cord Stimulator?

A Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) is an implanted device that sends mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord. These impulses modify and reduce pain signals before they reach the brain.

SCS therapy is highly effective for conditions such as failed back surgery syndrome, CRPS, peripheral neuropathy, and nerve injuries.

Intrathecal Pump

What is an Intrathecal Pump?

An Intrathecal Pump delivers medication directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, providing powerful pain control using much smaller doses.

Common Uses: Chronic pain conditions, cancer pain, and severe spasticity.

Indications for SCS and Intrathecal Pump

Ideal for patients who need long-term, targeted pain relief

1

Chronic Pain

For patients who haven’t improved with medications or physical therapy.

2

Failed Back Surgery

Ideal for persistent pain following spinal operations.

3

CRPS & Neuropathy

Helps reduce nerve-related pain conditions significantly.

Procedure Overview

Safe, minimally invasive implantation process

1. Consultation

Comprehensive assessment to determine whether SCS or an intrathecal pump is suitable.

2. Preparation

Local anesthesia and sedation ensure patient comfort.

3. Device Implantation

Spinal Cord Stimulator: Leads are placed near the spinal cord; a trial may be done first.

Intrathecal Pump: The pump is placed in the abdomen with a catheter inserted into the spinal space.

4. Recovery

Post-operative monitoring with personalized care instructions.
