Hoboken, NJ -- (SBWire) -- 10/28/2016 --The Spine & Sports Health Center is pleased to announce that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) trial procedures are available throughout fall 2016 and beyond to treat chronic leg or lower back pain. The medical practice offers spinal cord stimulation trial procedures at their office in Hoboken, NJ, Bayonne, and Jersey City, and they accept patients from all over all over the New York metropolitan area.
For almost thirty years, SCS has helped patients find relief from chronic limb and lower back pain. The procedure involves inserting a thin, soft wire into the patient's spine. Next, a small stimulator is used to send gentle electrical currents through the wire, which then prohibits the brain's ability to sense pain from the damaged or injured areas of the spine. Good candidates for SCS often include those who've had little or no success with conventional pain treatments, or those who've had spine surgery and still cannot find sufficient pain relief.
Any patient who wants to undergo SCS must take part in a brief trial, or test run, with a temporary stimulator and wire to learn whether SCS will offer pain relief. Every non-surgical SCS trial procedure at The Spine & Sports Health Center is done in an outpatient setting by Dr. Ben-Meir. The trial procedure typically takes no more than 30 minutes, and the patient will not only receive a temporary stimulator and wire, but also a remote control device to adjust electrical currents generated by the stimulator.
A follow-up appointment will be scheduled for four days later where everything is removed. If the patient reports at the follow-up appointment that he or she experienced sufficient pain relief, Dr. Ben-Meir will schedule him or her to receive a permanent stimulator and wire implant at another time.
