Nerve Pain Stimulation in Rochester MI

Nerve Pain Stimulation In Rochester MI Is Available At The Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine

Nerve pain stimulation is approved by the FDA and has been for over thirty years. It is suitable for anyone who is suffering from chronic pain, especially in the lower back, upper back or limbs. Around seven out of every ten people who have undergone nerve pain stimulation in Rochester or elsewhere report a positive reduction in the intensity of the chronic pain they are feeling.

The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and under local anesthetic. Small electrodes are inserted into the patient’s body beneath the skin close to the nerve from which chronic pain signals are being transmitted. The process is usually completed in less than 20 minutes.

The wires are then connected to a small generator, which can be triggered to send small amounts of electrical currents to the electrodes. The electrodes transmit the electrical signals which interrupt the pain signals that are being sent to the brain. As a result, in the majority of cases the patient reports that their feelings of chronic pain are reduced, replaced by a mild ‘tingling’ sensation.
