SPINAL CORD STIMULATORS

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Pain Relief in Las Vegas

Relief for chronic pain when other treatments haven’t worked.

If you’ve tried medications, injections, or minimally invasive procedures like epidurals — and you’re still suffering from chronic nerve pain — Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) may offer lasting relief.

At Red Rock Surgery Center in Las Vegas, our board-certified pain management specialists use advanced spinal cord stimulator technology to help patients regain control of their lives.

What Is Spinal Cord Stimulation?

Spinal cord stimulation is a cutting-edge treatment that uses a small implanted device to send mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord. These pulses “mask” pain signals before they reach the brain, replacing the pain with a mild tingling or buzzing sensation instead.

This therapy is ideal for neuropathic (nerve-related) pain, particularly for conditions such as:

  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS I & II / RSD)
  • Failed back surgery syndrome
  • Chronic leg pain with nerve damage or scar tissue
  • Nerve pain unresponsive to medications or injections

How It Works: The Two-Phase Process

1. Trial Phase (Test Drive the Therapy)
Before a permanent implant is placed, you’ll undergo a temporary trial to ensure the treatment works for you.

  • Performed under local anesthesia with sedation
  • A thin lead is inserted into the epidural space under live X-ray (fluoroscopy)
  • The lead is connected to an external stimulator that you control
  • Over 4–5 days, you’ll test the system at home to evaluate its effectiveness
  • No incisions or stitches are required — the lead is taped to your back and removed in a follow-up visit

If you experience significant pain relief during the trial, you’ll move on to the next phase.

2. Permanent Implant Phase
Once confirmed as a good candidate, you’ll return for the implantation of a long-term spinal cord stimulator.

  • The permanent lead is placed and anchored under the skin
  • A small battery (or receiver) is implanted either in the upper buttock or abdomen
  • The system is fully internal, and you’ll receive sedation during the procedure
  • Recovery is typically quick, and the procedure is performed at our state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center

Your doctor will help determine whether a rechargeable (internal battery) or non-battery (wireless transmitter) system is best for you.
