Spring Forward with Relief: How Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) Can Help

As spring arrives, many of us are ready to get active and enjoy the outdoors. But for those with chronic spine pain, the transition can be difficult. If you're ready to embrace the season with less pain, Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) may be the solution you've been searching for.

What is PNS?

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses electrical impulses to target specific nerves in the spine, disrupting pain signals. This treatment can relieve chronic spine pain caused by conditions like sciatica or spinal stenosis, without the need for major surgery.

At Pain Care, LLC, PNS is typically done using the Stimwave StimQ system, which is minimally invasive and covered by most insurance plans. It’s implanted near a peripheral nerve, providing effective pain relief with a quick recovery time.

How PNS Can Help You Enjoy Spring

Spring is the perfect time to get moving again, whether it’s hiking, gardening, or taking long walks. PNS can help restore mobility and reduce pain, so you can enjoy the activities you love.

Benefits of PNS:

What to Expect from the PNS Procedure

The PNS treatment starts with a trial phase to ensure the device works for you. If successful, a permanent device is implanted. Recovery time is quick, and most patients can resume daily activities shortly after the procedure.

Is PNS Right for You?

If you’ve tried other treatments without success, PNS may be a great option. It’s ideal for those looking to reduce chronic spine pain and enjoy an active lifestyle this spring.

Book a consultation at our clinic today to find out if PNS is the right choice for you!
