What Is Spinal Cord Stimulation?

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an advanced, FDA-approved treatment for chronic pain that hasn’t responded to conservative methods like physical therapy, medication, or injections. The therapy involves a small implanted device that delivers gentle electrical impulses to the spinal cord, interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain. Instead of pain, patients typically feel a soothing sensation or no sensation at all, where pain used to be.

At Remedy Health, spinal cord stimulation is led by Dr. Akash Bajaj, a double board-certified interventional pain specialist known for his precision, expertise, and compassionate care. If you're living with nerve pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or CRPS, spinal cord stimulation offers a safe, effective way to reclaim your life and reduce or even eliminate your reliance on pain medications.

Conditions Spinal Cord Stimulation Can Help

Spinal cord stimulation is especially effective for neuropathic and post-surgical pain conditions that have been resistant to traditional therapies. It works by altering the way the brain perceives pain rather than temporarily masking symptoms.

Spinal Stenosis

Pain caused by narrowing of the spinal canal

Chronic Leg or Arm Pain (Radiculopathy)

Often caused by nerve root compression

Post-Laminectomy Syndrome

Chronic pain after laminectomy or discectomy

Arachnoiditis

Inflammation of the spinal cord lining

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS)

Persistent pain after spinal surgery

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Burning or hypersensitive nerve pain after injury

Peripheral Neuropathy

Tingling, numbness, and nerve pain in hands, feet, or limbs

What to Expect From Spinal Cord Stimulation in Los Angeles

Man in Los Angeles receiving elite care for pain from longevity specialists.
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Bajaj to determine whether you’re a candidate for spinal cord stimulation. We’ll review your history, imaging, and prior treatment attempts. If SCS is appropriate, you’ll undergo a trial stimulation — an outpatient procedure where temporary leads are placed on your spine and connected to an external stimulator.
before
A temporary stimulator is placed on the spine to determine the efficacy of a permanent device.
You’ll wear the temporary device for five to seven days while going about your regular activities. If you experience at least 50% pain relief and improved function, you're considered a successful candidate for permanent implantation.
during
Male patient being evaluated prior to discharge after stimulator is placed.
The final implantation is done as an outpatient procedure under light sedation. A small pulse generator is implanted under the skin (usually in the abdomen or buttock), and the leads are placed along the spine to deliver controlled stimulation. Most patients return to normal activities within days, and the device can be adjusted wirelessly to suit your comfort level.
