Say Goodbye to Diabetic Foot Pain With Spinal Cord Stimulator
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) pain is a debilitating and progressive neurological disorder that impacts quality of life and functional ability for those with diabetes.
What may start as uncomfortable numbness in the feet can quickly turn into a burning/stabbing pain. This can spread into the legs becoming progressively worse and excruciating. It may be nearly impossible to walk, stand, sit, or rest comfortably.
Spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is a non-opioid, FDA-approved way to manage chronic pain that may be caused by DPN. An SCS is implanted under the skin and used to manage chronic pain, especially when other treatments have failed to provide sufficient relief.
SCS disrupts the pain signals traveling between the spinal cord and the brain. SCS can help treat the following: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy, Chronic pain, Neuropathic pain, Radicular Pain, Ischemic Pain, Peripheral vascular disease, Arachnoiditis, Postherpetic neuralgia, & Cancer pain.
