Find Top Spinal Cord Stimulation Reviews NYC

Spinal cord stimulation is a very effective option for treating stubborn cases of back pain, such as pain that hasn't responded to surgery or that is occurring because of neuropathy. It's always important to find a great doctor, but that's especially true when it comes to spinal cord stimulation, since it involves operating on such a delicate part of the body.

About Spinal Cord Stimulation

When you experience pain, nerve impulses travel from the spinal cord to the brain to inform your brain that you're in pain. Spinal cord stimulation works by running an electrical impulse through these same nerves, thus interrupting the transmission of pain.

Spinal cord stimulation is a long-term therapy. Your doctor inserts a stimulator in your abdomen, with leads into your spinal canal. You will use the stimulator several times a day, for 1-2 hours at a time, to manage your pain.

Spinal cord stimulation has some risks, and therefore it's almost never the first course of treatment for pain. For patients who need it, the long-term relief from pain can be life-changing.

Importance of a Great Doctor

It's essential to read spinal cord stimulation reviews so that you can find the best doctor in your area. Reading reviews and looking at the overall trends, ratings, and main compliments and complaints, can allow you to identify a physician's strengths and weaknesses. If a doctor gets consistently poor reviews, he or she should probably be avoided; similarly, a doctor who gets consistently positive reviews has a high chance of being a good fit for you.

Information found in reviews should, of course, be backed up by other information about the doctor and your own experiences with him or her.
