Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain Relief

A Cutting-Edge Solution for Lasting Pain Management

At Oregon Pain & Spine, we understand how debilitating chronic pain can be—limiting your mobility, interfering with daily activities, and reducing your quality of life. If you’ve tried conservative treatments with little to no success, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may provide the relief you’ve been searching for.

What Is Spinal Cord Stimulation?

Spinal Cord Stimulation is an advanced, drug-free pain management therapy that works by delivering mild electrical impulses to the nerves responsible for transmitting pain signals. This therapy effectively “blocks” pain before it reaches your brain, allowing you to regain control over your daily activities.

At Oregon Pain & Spine, we offer Nalu Neurostimulation, an innovative SCS system designed for maximum comfort, flexibility, and long-term pain relief.

How Does Nalu Neurostimulation Work?

• A tiny, implantable pulse generator (IPG) is placed just under the skin.
• Thin, insulated wires (leads) deliver gentle electrical pulses to the spinal cord or affected peripheral nerves.
• These pulses interrupt pain signals, reducing discomfort and improving function.
• The therapy is adjustable through a smartphone app, allowing you to tailor stimulation to your needs.

Why Choose Nalu Neurostimulation?

Unlike traditional spinal cord stimulators, the Nalu System offers:

• A Smaller, More Comfortable Implant – The micro-IPG is significantly smaller than other SCS devices, making it less noticeable under the skin.
• Wearable & Removable Battery – No need for repeat surgeries to replace the battery. The power source is external and can be swapped in seconds.
• Personalized Control – Adjust your therapy anytime, anywhere via a smartphone app.
• Trial Before Implantation – You can “test drive” the system first to ensure it works for you before committing to a permanent implant.
• Long-Lasting Relief – With cutting-edge technology, the Nalu System offers extended device longevity and a seamless experience for managing chronic pain.

Is Spinal Cord Stimulation Right for You?

SCS is recommended for patients who experience chronic pain due to:

• Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)
• Chronic back or leg pain
• Neuropathy or nerve-related pain
• Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
• Other conditions unresponsive to conservative treatments

If you’ve struggled with pain and want a minimally invasive, long-term solution, Nalu Neurostimulation could be an excellent option.

What to Expect: The Treatment Process

1. Wear Experience – Before your trial, you’ll wear a mock setup to ensure comfort with the system’s placement.
2. Trial Period – A short outpatient procedure places temporary leads, allowing you to experience pain relief before committing.
3. Permanent Implant – If the trial is successful, we’ll proceed with a minimally invasive placement of the long-term system.
4. Ongoing Optimization – Our team will work with you to fine-tune your therapy and ensure maximum pain relief.
