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):
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 (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
Epidural Steroid Injections

Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections are minimally invasive and highly effective for alleviating pain and inflammation associated with spinal conditions. They involve injecting corticosteroid medication and a local anesthetic into the epidural space surrounding spinal nerves, providing targeted relief for neck, back, arm, and leg pain.
Conditions Treated:
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections are recommended for the following:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal canal stenosis
- Degenerative disc disease
- Radiculopathy
- Sciatica
- Leg and arm pain
SELECTIVE NERVE ROOT BLOCKS

SELECTIVE NERVE ROOT BLOCKS
Selective Nerve Root Blocks involve injecting anti-inflammatory and numbing medication around a specific nerve root to relieve pain and guide further care. Depending on the results, a referral to a neurosurgeon might be recommended.
Conditions Treated:
SELECTIVE NERVE ROOT BLOCKS
SELECTIVE NERVE ROOT BLOCKS
Selective Nerve Root Blocks are commonly used to help patients dealing with:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal canal stenosis
- Degenerative disc disease
- Radiculopathy (nerve irritation) -
- Sciatica
- Leg and arm pain
