Neuromodulation

Chronic pain can become debilitating and affect multiple aspects of your life, including your physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. At Spinal Diagnostics, we offer a range of neuromodulation techniques to help you regain mobility.

Neuromodulation involves the application of electrical or chemical stimulation to targeted nerves in the body, altering and reducing pain signals. This innovative field of medicine offers multiple benefits for those living with chronic pain:

Targeted pain relief into the nerves responsible for the pain signal transmission
Reduced use of opioid medication due to the minimized side effects and procedure pain involved in neuromodulation
Improved quality of life, restored mobility and functionality

Whether you're dealing with back or neck pain, arthritis, or any kind of chronic pain, our experienced team is here to help. Our multidisciplinary approach to these conditions helps us create tailored treatment plans for each individual case.

DRG Stimulation (Dorsal Root Ganglion)

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation is a neuromodulation technique focusing on a specific spinal cord region known as the dorsal root ganglion. This area plays a crucial role in transmitting pain signals to the brain. By targeting the DRG directly, this form of stimulation can effectively modulate and alleviate chronic pain.

Compared to other pain management techniques, DRG Stimulation offers multiple benefits, including:

Enhanced targeting: DRG stimulation precisely targets the affected nerve fibers. This precision can result in improved pain reduction.
Precise placement: With DRG stimulation, leads can be placed near the specific dorsal root ganglion responsible for transmitting your pain signals.
Reduced side effects: DRG stimulation may result in fewer stimulation-related side effects, such as twitching or buzzing.
Improved quality of life: By reducing pain, you can return to your regular activities and improve your overall quality of life.

Occipital Nerve Stimulation

Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) is a neuromodulation technique that aims to manage the symptoms associated with chronic head and neck pain. It usually involves implanting small electrodes near the occipital nerves located at the back of your head. These electrodes deliver electrical signals that interrupt pain communication to the brain.

Living with chronic headaches and neck pain can severely affect your daily activities, sleep, and overall quality of life. Occipital nerve stimulation is especially beneficial for those with medical conditions preventing them from undergoing other pain management procedures.
