At PainMed Clinic, we offer SpṢinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) as an advanced treatment option for patients with persistent, treatment-resistant pain. This therapy aims to modulate pain signals at the spinal level, helping to improve function and quality of life. Schedule a consultation with one of our specialist pain physicians in Sydney to determine if SCS is appropriate for your condition.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment used to manage chronic pain that has not responded to other therapies. It works by delivering mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord through a small, implanted device, which helps block or alter pain signals before they reach the brain. The mild tingling sensation replaces the pain, offering meaningful relief without the need for high-dose medications.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) may be appropriate for individuals who have not achieved adequate relief from conservative treatments . It is particularly beneficial for those experiencing chronic pain related to nerve injuries, spinal conditions affecting the back or neck, or persistent pain following surgery. If your pain significantly impacts daily functioning and quality of life, SCS may offer an effective long-term management option.
A thorough assessment with a chronic pain specialist in Sydney can help determine whether Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a suitable treatment option for you. At PainMed, our interventional pain specialists work closely with each patient to develop a personalised treatment plan, aiming to achieve the best possible outcome. In addition, a specialist technician from the relevant device agency will provide comprehensive education about the implant, ensuring you are fully informed and supported in making the right decision for your care.
