Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) in Branchburg, Somerset, Hillsborough and Watchung, NJ
A Life-Changing Solution for Chronic Pain in Somerset County New Jersey
Are you tired of living in the shadow of chronic pain? Have traditional treatments left you feeling defeated and hopeless? At Performance Ortho, we offer a beacon of hope through Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS). This innovative, minimally invasive procedure has transformed the lives of countless individuals, liberating them from the shackles of pain and restoring their ability to enjoy life to the fullest.
What is Spinal Cord Stimulation & How Does SCS Work?
If you’re tired of living with chronic pain, Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) could be the life-changing solution you’ve been searching for. SCS is an FDA approved treatment that is safe, effective, and non-opioid. It has helped many people regain control of their lives and enjoy moving again.
This minimally invasive procedure utilizes thin wires (leads) placed along your spinal cord and a small implantable device. The device sends mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord, interrupting pain signals before they reach your brain. Think of it as a dial that controls your pain. You can adjust the strength and frequency of the treatment to find what works best for you.
Is Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) Right for You?
We understand that choosing a treatment for chronic pain is a significant decision. To ensure this is the best treatment option, you will undergo a minimally invasive SCS trial procedure. This allows you to experience the therapy firsthand and determine if it effectively relieves your pain. If the trial is successful, we’ll then proceed with implanting the permanent system.

Who should get a Spinal Cord Stimulator?
SCS has proven to be highly effective in managing chronic pain caused by a variety of conditions, including:
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
- Radiculopathy: Pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates along the path of a nerve due to compression or irritation.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Wear and tear of the spinal discs over time.
- Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS): Persistent or recurring pain after back surgery.
- Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): A chronic pain condition that often affects the arms or legs.
- Peripheral Neuropathy: Damage to the nerves that transmit signals between the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.
- Sciatica: Pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg.
- Pinched Nerves: Nerves that are compressed or irritated by surrounding structures.
How Does a Spinal Cord Stimulator Help Neuropathy Pain?
A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) can help alleviate neuropathy pain by delivering electrical impulses to the spinal cord, which can modify or block the pain signals before they reach the brain. Here are some benefits for a SCS for neuropathy pain:
- Pain Relief: Reduces chronic pain associated with neuropathy, such as burning, tingling, or sharp pain.
- Improved Function: Helps improve mobility and function by decreasing pain.
- Reduced Medication Use: Can decrease the need for pain medications, including opioids, which have potential side effects and risk of dependency.
- Quality of Life: Enhances the overall quality of life by allowing patients to engage more fully in daily activities.
By modulating the pain signals, a spinal cord stimulator offers an effective option for managing neuropathic pain, helping patients achieve significant relief and improve their quality of life.
Who benefits most from a Spinal Cord Stimulator?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, SCS may be able to offer you much-needed relief:
- Chronic neck and upper back pain: Persistent pain in the neck or upper back that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
- Chronic pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or “pins and needles” in the arms: Nerve-related pain in the arms, often caused by conditions like neuropathy, radiculopathy or spinal stenosis.
- Chronic lower back pain: Persistent pain in the lower back that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
- Chronic pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or “pins and needles” in the legs: Nerve-related pain in the legs, often caused by conditions like neuropathy including painful diabetic neuropathy, sciatica or spinal stenosis.
