Spinal Cord Stimulator Specialists in Chicagoland

Are You Ready For a New Sensation?

With different types identified, neuropathy, also known as nerve damage, takes place when nerves no longer function normally. The intensity of symptoms such as burning, numbness, and tingling, may vary throughout the day and oftentimes be challenging for patients who must manage these harsh symptoms on their own.

At BEST Health System, neuropathy is one of the many conditions we treat with expert care. Our neuropathy specialist works with patients using a range of treatments. More than 20 million people are living with this nerve condition in the USA alone, and BEST Health System wants to help as many people as possible. We offer modern solutions for patients struggling with conditions stemming from Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Radiculopathy, Arthritis, and many more painful conditions.

Are You a Candidate For a Spinal Cord Stimulator?

A spinal cord stimulator is a cutting-edge medical device that can reduce nerve pain. Through the use of new technology, low-level electrical signals move toward the spinal cord to modify pain signals and provide relief for chronic pain conditions.

We offer modern solutions for patients struggling with conditions stemming from a range of neuropathy types. Spinal cord stimulators, sometimes referred to as (SCS), deliver electrical pulses to the spinal cord. These pulses can then block pain signals from being sent to the brain. This allows painful diabetic neuropathy patients to minimize the pain they experience due to their condition. For patients with neck & back pain, spinal cord stimulators can relieve much of the pain.

At BEST, we offer patients diagnostic testing with the SCS device so they can determine whether it is the right option for them. If patients find relief with it, we can implant a permanent device.
