Nerve Pain Stimulation Near Pontiac MI

Nerve pain stimulation near Pontiac MI is a medical procedure that uses electrodes to transmit mild electrical signals that are used to treat chronic pain. There are two main types of nerve pain stimulation near Pontiac MI – peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) and spinal cord stimulation (SCS).

In both procedures the methods used are identical. A small pulse generator is used to transmit small electrical pulses close to nerves that are transmitting chronic pain signals to the brain. With PNS this is done via peripheral nerves (nerves that exist outside of the spinal column and brain), but with SCS it’s done directly to the spinal column. The pulses sent interfere with the signals sent to the brain that indicate trauma, meaning that sensations of chronic pain are replaced by feelings akin to mild pins and needles.

The Two-Stage Process Of Nerve Pain Stimulation Near Pontiac Mi

There are two stages to the complete process of nerve pain stimulation near Pontiac MI. In the first stage, a physician will insert temporary electrodes into your body close to the nerves that are transmitting the chronic pain signals. These electrodes are around the thickness of a human hair, so their insertion is largely unobtrusive and nothing to worry about.

The electrodes are attached to an electrical pulse generator that the patient can control. The patient will be asked to decide the frequency and strength of the pulses, based on recommendations made by the physician. Once the trial period is over, the patient will be asked how greatly their sensations of chronic pain were masked. If satisfactory, the second stage of the process will begin.

The Second Stage Of Nerve Pain Stimulation Near Pontiac Mi Is A Permanent Solution

Stage two of the process of nerve pain stimulation near Pontiac MI is more involved and requires the insertion of a small pulse generator beneath the patient’s skin. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthetic. The generator can be controlled via an external device to regulate the frequency and strength of the pulses. Usually, it is recommended that nerve pain stimulation near Pontiac MI is undertaken for a period of one to two hours, three or four times a day.
