Animation of Spinal Cord Stimulator Implant Procedure

http://bionicmedicalinstitute.com/spi... From Bionic Medical Institute: (866) 433-0363 A spinal cord stimulator implant, known as neuromodulation, is often an excellent last resort treatment when previous treatments have failed. A stimulator is an implantable device that interrupts pain signals before they have the chance to reach the brain. It is able to change those pain signals to a more pleasant sensation. A stimulator consists of stimulating electrodes placed around the spinal cord that connect to a battery. The latest devices are rechargeable from outside the body and controlled with a remote that has over 200 programming options for pain relief! The conditions that do well with a spinal cord stimulator implant include failed neck and back surgery, RSD, neuropathy, phantom limb syndrome, testicular pain, pelvic pain, angina, arachnoiditis. In addition, those with failed spinal cord stimulator implants or intrathecal morphine pumps often do well with the newest neuromodulator implants as they have significantly increased programming options. There are three steps to receiving a spinal cord stimulator including: First – a Trial implant that is placed under sedation and left in for a week. It is easy to remove in the office. If it works well for relief, the patient is deemed a candidate for a final implant. Second – the patient will need to undergo a psychological evaluation, which is required by insurance companies prior to the final implant. Third – the final implant is put in as an outpatient, with the battery placed subcutaneously so the whole device is under the skin. Excellent outcomes with the latest devices have exceeded 80% overall. While neuromodulation doesn’t cure a painful condition, it is amazing for those where there is no cure and further surgery is not indicated.
