Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)

A Proven Solution: An alternative to opioids for some, SCS therapy provides personalized relief from chronic pain.

SCS is a non-opioid, FDA-approved, well-established therapy used globally for over 50 years to manage chronic pain. While acute pain is a normal sensation triggered in the nervous system to alert you to possible injury and the need to take care of yourself, chronic pain is different. Chronic pain persists, with pain signals firing in the nervous system for weeks, months, and even years.
