Patients who suffer from prolonged and frequently recurring distress simply want the pain to stop. IPM Medical Group has put into practice a number of chronic pain management procedures to control debilitating discomfort. It has providers subspecialty-trained in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal diseases and interventional procedures including implantable technology. As an intervention for chronic back and/or leg pain, spinal cord stimulation can be an effective alternative or adjunct treatment to other therapies that have failed to manage pain on their own. Spinal cord stimulation alleviates
pain by electrically activating pain-inhibiting neuronal circuits in the dorsal horn and inducing a tingling sensation (paresthesia) that masks the sensations of pain.
Chronic reflex sympathetic dystrophy (also called the complex regional pain syndrome) is a painful, disabling disorder for which there is no proven treatment. In observational studies, spinal cord stimulation has reduced the pain associated with the disorder.
Who is a good candidate for spinal cord stimulation?
This therapy is not for everyone. Generally, spinal cord stimulation may be considered when: Conservative treatments have not been successful, Surgery is not likely to help, patient has no untreated drug addictions and had a psychological evaluation, the patient does not have a pacemaker or other contraindications and the patient has had a successful trial period with the spinal cord stimulator.
One can also opt for the mild procedures at IPM, which aid in relieving the pressure on the nerves patients feel from thickening ligaments. The bone or tissue causing the pressure is removed with a special device.
