Peripheral Nerve Stimulator
Peripheral Nerve Stimulator
For patients who are unable to obtain pain relief they desire from other treatments, want a non-opioid pain relief solution, and have exhausted the other options available to them, the implantation of a Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (PNS) is a minimally invasive treatment option.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (PNS) has been successfully used to treat pain in the limbs and torso and targets the nerves responsible for your symptoms.
The Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (PNS) is implanted with the use of fluoroscopy guided imaging and is a minimally invasive procedure lasting up to 3 hours. After implantation, the patient is provided with a remote control that allows them to manage and adjust the therapy levels. Post-procedure, our team will assist in programming, training, and demonstration of how this equipment works to ensure the patient is comfortable and utilizing the equipment. Each Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (PNS) is programmed specifically for the patient’s needs, and programs may range from pain relief to recruiting and strengthening muscles to help prepare patients to return to physical therapy.
