Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)

We understand how challenging chronic pain, such as sciatica or pain from previous surgeries, can be in your daily life. One of the most cutting edge transformative treatments we offer is Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)—an advanced therapy that has helped many individuals manage pain when traditional treatments have failed.

What is Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)?

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) is a cutting-edge treatment that helps people with chronic pain by using tiny electrical signals to change how their nerves send pain messages to the brain. A small wire, called an electrode, is placed near the nerve that causes pain and sends gentle pulses to the nerve to block pain signals. This advanced technology is a big step forward in pain management because it can reduce the need for medications and improve quality of life. PNS is used for many types of pain, like nerve pain after surgery or pain in the back, arms, or legs, giving patients a modern, safe, and adjustable way to find relief.

What Conditions Can Be Treated?

PNS is used to manage a variety of chronic pain conditions, including:
  • Neuropathic pain (nerve-related pain from injury or disease)
  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
  • Post-surgical pain (such as pain after hernia repair or joint surgery)
  • Lower back pain (especially when nerve-related)
  • Phantom limb pain (pain felt in an amputated limb)
  • Headaches and migraines (in select cases)

Advantages of Spinal Cord Stimulation

Minimally invasive

No major surgery required

Reduces the need for medication

May lower dependency on opioids and other pain relievers

Adjustable treatment

Patients can control the stimulation levels

Fewer side effects

Compared to systemic pain medications

Improved quality of life

Helps restore mobility and function

What Are the Risks or Side Effects of Peripheral Nerve Stimulation?

Although PNS is generally safe, potential risks and side effects include:
  • Risk of infection at the implantation site.
  • Nerve irritation or discomfort
  • Device malfunction or displacement
  • Temporary pain during the healing process
  • Allergic reaction to implant materials (rare)
These risks will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation appointment.
