Over the past 40 years, spinal cord stimulation therapy has steadily increased in popularity to manage chronic pain.

HOW SPINAL CORD STIMULATION (SCS) WORKS

The neurostimulator sends electrical pulses to the lead

The lead delivers these pulses to nerves along the spinal cord

The pulses block pain signals before they reach the brain

The painful feeling is replaced with a more comfortable sensation

REDEFINING CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENTCurrent SCS neurostimulators are programmed with only one mode of stimulation for pain management. The Prodigy™ neurostimulator with Burst technology from St. Jude Medical is the first to offer multiple stimulation therapy options in one device to improve therapy outcomes.7

Risks associated with the procedure and/or use of a neurostimulation system include infection, swelling, bruising, undesirable changes in stimulation, and the loss of strength or use in an affected limb or muscle group. Talk to your doctor about the possible complications associated with neurostimulation.
