StimQ PNS
Over 400 million people worldwide suffer from severe intractable chronic pain, and most don’t want to rely on invasive surgical procedures or medication management with dangerous opioids to get through their day. If you have chronic pain due to a traumatic event, herniated disc, or a degenerative condition that hasn’t responded to conservative treatments such as Physical Therapy, Cortisone Injections, Medications, or Chiropractic, then Neuromodulation can help. This breakthrough has even been featured in high-profile cases, such as when former NFL quarterback Joe Montana underwent a similar high-tech nerve stimulation procedure for knee pain.
Neuromodulation refers to technology that affects and alters your nerves to ease and even prevent pain by delivering targeted electrical currents to the affected area. Special devices deliver low currents of electricity to specific neurological points in your body which disrupt pain signals that travel from your nerves to your brain — through a new, cutting-edge, FDA-approved medical tool.
The StimQ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (PNS) System is for the relief of severe intractable chronic pain of peripheral origin. The system provides relief to peripheral nerves with an implantable device placed through a needle-sized cannula next to the peripheral nerve locations where the pain is originating. It’s highly effective at treating neuropathic pain that can cause burning, numbness, tingling and weakness in your legs, arms, hands, and feet.
This minimally invasive procedure can be performed in the office without the need for implanting anything inside your body like other similar devices usually require, is MRI safe and won’t interfere with scans for patients who require frequent imaging, and most importantly is covered by most commercial health insurance plans including Medicare. At Wesley Chapel Spine and Sports Medicine, we are proud to be one of the only offices in Florida to offer the StimQ Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (PNS).
StimQ PNS
Peripheral nerve pain can stem from a wide range of conditions, including post-surgical nerve damage, diabetic neuropathy, radiculopathy, sciatica, post-traumatic nerve injuries, herniated discs, and chronic post-surgical knee or shoulder pain. StimQ PNS offers an alternative that does not involve long-term medication dependence.
The device is MRI-safe, small, discrete, and externally powered — patients don’t have to live with permanent implants or undergo major surgeries. The therapy can be trialed before full implementation, allowing patients to experience the benefits before committing to ongoing use.
In clinical settings, peripheral nerve stimulation has demonstrated excellent outcomes for people suffering from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), phantom limb pain, occipital neuralgia, and other challenging nerve conditions. Stimulation parameters — pulse width, frequency, and amplitude — can be finely tuned to each patient’s profile.
The procedure typically takes less than an hour, is done in-office with local anesthesia, and patients can walk out the same day. Read more about the Joe Montana case covered by CBS News.
