Neuromodulation
for Chronic Pain Relief

Discover how spinal cord stimulation and dorsal root ganglion stimulation can help you live pain-free.

Are you one of the millions of people suffering from chronic pain? Do you find yourself relying on painkillers and other medications to get through your day? If so, you may be interested in learning about neuromodulation, a cutting-edge technology that offers a non-invasive, drug-free way to manage pain.


What is Neuromodulation?

Neuromodulation works by targeting the nervous system and altering the way it sends pain signals to the brain. Two of the most effective forms of neuromodulation for chronic pain are spinal cord stimulation (SCS) and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation. They both work directly upon nerves by delivering electrical agents to the targeted area. Neuromodulation is a life-changing treatment plan and can be used to treat many diseases or symptoms.


Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)

SCS works by implanting electrodes in the body to change the functionality of the nervous system.


Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG)

DRG stimulation is a form of neuromodulation. The dorsal root ganglion is the target of this chronic pain treatment.
