Spinal Cord Stimulation is a minimally invasive procedure that controls chronic pain. A pain specialist will most likely first need to do a trial to understand if the Spinal Cord Stimulator is the best solution to manage your specific pain. During the trial, the pain specialist will place one or more leads in the area along the spinal cord. The placement area will depend on where your specific pain is.

The leads will also be connected to a trial generator. The pain specialist will use the trial generator to test your leads and make sure they are in the right place to treat your pain. You will be asked questions like:

• Do you feel a tingling sensation?
• Where do you feel the tingling?
• Does the tingling cover your pain?

By answering these questions, you will help make sure the leads are positioned well. The pain specialist will then show you how to use the trial generator to adjust the strength of the stimulator so you can experiment with what makes you comfortable. You will then be sent home to carry out your trial period with the Spinal Cord Stimulator.

At the end of your trial period, you and your pain specialist will determine if you should have a permanent system and which system would be appropriate for your pain. The pain specialist will consult and collaborate with your primary care physician and any other specialists you are under care of, to ensure that the best treatment plan is being carried out for you.

To schedule your initial evaluation to see if Spinal Cord Stimulation is a good solution for your chronic pain, please call (508) 507-8818 or e-mail us at staff@franklinpaincenter.com.

There are so many causes of pain. Many people feel the pain is untreatable, or the medication required is habit forming, not good for them, or causes side effects. Acute pain such as pain after surgery, recent injury, nerve damage musculoskeletal or an acquired medical illness that persists and evolves into chronic pain would require the involvement of a pain specialist.

The field of anesthesiology has long been known to manage pain associated with surgery or child labor. These specialists have now determined methods and treatments to also minimize chronic pain.

The pain specialists, nurses and anesthesiologists, at Franklin Pain and Wellness Center are specifically trained in pain management and will work with your primary care physician to establish the best course of treatment for you.
