Reclaim Your Life from Chronic Pain with Spinal Cord Stimulation

Living with chronic pain can be emotionally and physically exhausting. When traditional treatments like medications, physiotherapy, and injections no longer offer sufficient relief, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) offers hope. At the Neurology and Pain Management Clinic (NPMC), Dr. Gautam Arora provides this advanced, minimally invasive therapy to help patients regain control over their lives.

What is Spinal Cord Stimulation?

Spinal cord stimulation involves implanting a small device near the spine that delivers low-level electrical pulses to the spinal cord. These pulses interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, effectively reducing or masking the sensation of pain. Patients use a remote control to adjust stimulation based on their activity and comfort level.

Who Can Benefit?

SCS is recommended for individuals with chronic pain conditions that haven’t responded well to other treatments. Common indications include:

• Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)

• Chronic lower back or leg pain

• Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)

• Peripheral neuropathy

• Nerve-related pain after spinal cord injury

Dr. Gautam Arora thoroughly evaluates each patient at NPMC to determine if SCS is appropriate. A trial procedure is usually done first, allowing the patient to test the device before permanent implantation.

The Procedure and Recovery

The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthesia. During the trial, temporary leads are placed in the epidural space, connected to an external stimulator. If significant pain relief is achieved, a permanent device is implanted. Recovery time is short, and patients typically return to normal activities within a week.

Benefits of Spinal Cord Stimulation

• Significant reduction in pain

• Less dependence on pain medications

• Improved quality of sleep and mobility

• Customizable settings for personalised pain relief

• Reversible and adjustable therapy

Many patients at NPMC report an enhanced ability to enjoy daily life, reconnect with family, and resume hobbies that pain once made impossible.
