Understanding chronic pain
If you muscle through chronic pain each day, you may feel like you have a dark cloud keeping you from a life you love.
Chronic pain is a long-lasting, often debilitating condition that affects millions of people.1 When physical therapy and medications aren’t enough, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) treatment can offer hope and effective pain relief.
A non-opioid alternative
Medtronic spinal cord stimulation (SCS) offers a non-opioid, FDA approved alternative when other chronic pain treatments have failed, such as:
- Physical therapy
- Injections or radiofrequency
- Surgery
Meet Bryan, an spinal cord stimulation (SCS) patient
“There were days I couldn’t get out of bed, couldn’t function at work…Now that my pain is no longer at the forefront of my life, [I can] do the things [I] want to do.“
- Bryan, a back pain patient who had steroid injections for 14 years before getting an SCS device
How SCS works
SCS involves implanting a device similar to a pacemaker under the skin. The device has leads (wires) that disrupt the signals to the brain that cause symptoms. When pain signals are blocked, you experience relief.
