Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an advanced pain management technique used when other treatments have failed. It involves two procedures: a "Trial" procedure and a "Permanent Implant" procedure. The "Trial" procedure takes 20-30 minutes and involves placing temporary electrodes for 5-7 days. If successful, a "Permanent Implant" is then considered. SCS effectively manages chronic pain, improving overall quality of life and reducing the need for pain medications.
Conditions Treated:
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS)
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS)
Spinal Cord Stimulation is commonly recommended for patients with the following conditions:
- Failed back surgery syndrome
- Peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes or cancer treatment
- Chronic lower back, neck, leg, and arm pain
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
- Injuries to the spinal cord
- Phantom limb pain
- Abdominal and pelvic pain

DORSAL ROOT GANGLION STIMULATION (DRG)
Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation (DRG) and Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) are advanced techniques in pain management. Both DRG and SCS work in a similar way, but with DRG, the leads are placed along the individual nerves branching out from the spinal cord instead of on the spinal cord itself. This targeted lead positioning allows for very precise pain relief.
Conditions Treated:

DORSAL ROOT GANGLION STIMULATION (DRG)
Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation is commonly recommended for patients with the following conditions:
- Knee pain after injury or surgery
- Foot pain after injury or surgery
- Hip pain after injury or surgery
- Groin pain after injury or surgery
- Lower back and leg pain

GANGLION IMPAR NERVE BLOCK
The Ganglion Impar Nerve Block is an effective procedure for pelvic, groin, and tailbone pain. It involves injecting a corticosteroid and a local anesthetic near the ganglion impar to provide relief. Repeat procedures may be necessary for sustained pain relief.
Conditions Treated:
GANGLION IMPAR NERVE BLOCK

Ganglion Impar Nerve Blocks are often suggested for patients dealing with the following:
- Pelvic pain
- groin pain
- coccygeal (tailbone) pain
