What is spinal cord simulator therapy?

Spinal cord stimulation therapy involves implanting a device that sends electrical impulses to the spinal cord, helping to manage chronic pain, particularly in the back and legs. The impulses interfere with pain signals sent to the brain, effectively masking the sensation of pain. This therapy is often considered for patients who have not found relief from other pain management methods. It can be adjustable and reversible, making it a flexible option for managing pain.
