How It’s Done
Spinal Cord Stimulator surgery is done by placing thin wires with electrodes along the spinal cord and connecting them to a small generator device implanted under the skin.
The generator produces electrical pulses that interfere with pain signals traveling to the brain, effectively reducing or eliminating the perception of pain. The device can be adjusted externally to optimize pain relief for each patient’s specific needs.
