About the offer

Spinal injury treatment with an electrical spinal cord stimulator involves using a device that sends mild electrical signals to the spinal cord. That helps to restore and stimulate lost nerve function in the spine. First, patients undergo various examinations, such as physical exams, consultations with specialists, and a medical history review. They also take several lab tests to ensure they suit the procedure. Next, doctors perform diagnostic tests like MRI scans and nerve conduction studies to understand the patient's spinal injury. Then the patient is prepared for surgery. The electrical spinal cord stimulator placement surgery involves implanting a medical device to help reduce pain and improve function for patients with spinal injuries. Under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision in the back and inserts leads with electrodes, placing them into the epidural space near the spinal cord. The leads are tested for effectiveness, and the pulse generator is implanted in the patient's buttocks or abdomen. The leads are connected to the pulse generator, and the incisions are closed. The patient receives postoperative care, and the stimulator can be adjusted as needed for optimal pain relief and function. The entire process, including hospitalization, typically lasts around ten days. It's a valuable option for patients who haven't found relief through other treatments.
