Can Improve Quality of Life Spinal Cord
Stimulator
If you are facing severe back or neck pain and
medicines or therapies are not giving you any
relief, the best UK surgeons may recommend you to
go for a spinal cord stimulator to provide you a
better quality of life. A spinal cord stimulator
is a device that has thin wires and a generator.
This generator is fixed under the skin in the
abdomen or buttock area. The wires go between the
spinal cord and the vertebrae. This device is
controlled by a remote which initiates the
generation of electrical impulses when the
patient is suffering from chronic pain. Though
the mechanism is still not fully comprehended by
doctors, they assume that it alters the way the
brain senses pain.

• Types of Spinal Cord Stimulator
• Three main types of spinal cord stimulators are
  there that scoliosis private treatment UK may
  use. Let us look into these three options.
• The conventional implantable pulse generator
  (IPG) is the most common one which is
  battery-generated. The battery goes to the spine
  and has to be replaced with further surgery in
  case it runs out. It generates lower electrical
  impulses that may relax the pain of a single body
  part.

• Types of Spinal Cord Stimulator
• We can say that the rechargeable IPG is a
  modified version of the conventional IPG. This
  device can be recharged from the outside without
  surgery and spreads higher electrical impulses
  that can cure the pain of a larger body area.
•  
• Though many advanced devices are available,
  radiofrequency simulators are used by some
  doctors. The battery of this device is
  rechargeable and placed outside the body. It
  releases high electrical impulses impacting a
  broader body area.
• To operate the devices properly, the doctor would
  do some presets . Besides, he would instruct you
  on how to adjust the power of the electrical
  impulse and operate the device correctly
