Are there different types of nerve pain stimulators?

Yes, there are — and choosing the right one depends on the type and location of your pain.

The main types of nerve pain stimulators include:

1. Spinal Cord Stimulators (SCS) – placed near the spinal cord to block pain signals before they reach the brain.
2. Peripheral Nerve Stimulators (PNS) – target specific nerves in the arms, legs, or other areas affected by chronic pain.
3. Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulators – used for precise pain targeting, especially for conditions like CRPS.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our pain management specialists perform personalized assessments to determine which stimulator will work best for your unique condition.
