Spinal Cord Stimulation - Chronic Nerve Pain Relief in Chicago

A Minimally Invasive Solution for Nerve Pain and Neuropathy

Living with chronic pain can be exhausting, physically and emotionally. For people who have found no relief with medications, physical therapy, or injections, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) offers a minimally invasive, drug-free option that can help ease pain and restore your quality of life.

At Midwest Vascular and Pain Specialists, we offer advanced pain relief solutions like spinal cord stimulation to help patients take back control and live more comfortably.

SCS can provide significant relief for people dealing with persistent nerve-related pain.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

Permanent Implant

If the trial is successful, a small generator is implanted under the skin, usually in the lower back, with thin electrical leads positioned near the spinal cord. You can adjust the stimulation levels using a handheld remote.

Recovery

Most people go home the same day and can return to light activity within a few days.

04

Personalized Pain Relief

The stimulation can be adjusted to provide customizable pain relief as your needs change over time.

Danielle K

"I am delighted by the results. I limped into the office in a great deal of pain which I endured for months. After a few weeks of pain management, I was back to my swift walking. My last appointment recommended suggestions for maintenance and coming back if necessary. Great experience and friendly staff!"
