Chronic pain can cause mental and emotional issues, and its complex nature can come between you and a good night’s sleep.
A spinal brace may be prescribed by your doctor to help stabilize one or more levels of your spine, stop or control spinal movement, lift pressure off an area of the spine, help prevent re-injury while you heal, and relieve pain.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has become a standard of care for people with chronic back and neck pain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is an option for treating complex low back, neck or related leg or arm pain when other treatments, including surgery, have failed to significantly improve the symptoms, or when the risks of surgery may outweigh the potential benefits.
Fusion is a surgical technique in which one or more of the vertebrae of the spine are united together (“fused”) so that motion no longer occurs between them.

Spine-related conditions and injuries can create symptoms such as pain, burning and tightness, to name a few.
