What is Neuromodulation? A Game-Changer for Chronic Pain

For patients struggling with nerve pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or CRPS, traditional treatments may fall short. That’s where neuromodulation comes in.

At Mosaic Pain, we specialize in cutting-edge techniques like spinal cord stimulation (SCS), dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation, and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS). These advanced therapies use gentle electrical impulses to “turn down” pain signals at the source—without relying on medication.

Neuromodulation relies on The Gate Control Theory by Melzack and Wall which was first described in 1965. By providing electrical input through spinal cord stimulator in the back we can flood millions of signals along low-threshold A-β fibers (light touch fibers) that will over run and inhibit responses of painful (nociceptive) input to WDR cells which interpret external input for the body.

Benefits of neuromodulation:

  • Targeted, adjustable pain relief
  • Minimally invasive and reversible
  • Often reduces or eliminates the need for opioids

If you’ve tried everything else and are still in pain, neuromodulation could be your next step. Book a consult to find out if you’re a candidate.
