- Advanced Pain Management
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a cutting-edge therapy that alleviates chronic pain through a device that sends electrical pulses to the spinal cord. These pulses interfere with the nerve impulses that make you feel pain, helping to mask pain signals before they reach the brain.
Dr. Schlesinger’s clinic in Nassau County utilizes SCS as part of a comprehensive approach to pain management, particularly effective for patients who have not found relief through traditional methods.
During the SCS procedure, a small device called a neurostimulator is implanted near the spinal cord. This device delivers electrical impulses to the nerves, interrupting the pain signals before they reach the brain. By modulating the pain signals, SCS can significantly reduce pain intensity and improve overall quality of life for individuals with chronic pain conditions.
Spinal cord stimulation offers several advantages for individuals seeking relief from chronic pain:
