Spinal Cord Stimulation for Back Pain Relief
Living with chronic back pain doesn't have to be your story anymore. Dr. Jared Anderson, a board-certified anesthesiologist and pain management specialist at Brazos Valley Pain Specialists, offers advanced spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy – a proven solution for chronic pain management.
What is Spinal Cord Stimulation?
Spinal cord stimulation is an innovative therapy that uses mild electrical pulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach your brain. Think of it as changing the channel on pain – instead of feeling discomfort, you'll experience a gentle tingling sensation or no sensation at all, depending on the type of device used.
Is SCS Right for You?
You might be a good candidate for spinal cord stimulation if you:
- Have been experiencing chronic back pain for 3 months or longer
- Haven't found adequate relief through conservative treatments
- Have already tried physical therapy, medications, or other interventions
- Want to reduce your dependence on pain medications
- Are looking for a reversible, non-drug treatment option
- The SCS Advantage
Modern spinal cord stimulators offer:
- Targeted pain relief without medications
- Adjustable settings you can control
