If you're searching for spinal cord stimulator surgery near Snellville, you're likely living with chronic pain that hasn't responded to conservative treatments. Whether it’s from failed back surgery, nerve damage, or long-term conditions like sciatica or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), the constant discomfort can feel like it's taking over your life. The good news? Advanced pain relief is closer than you think—and it doesn’t require major surgery or long-term medications.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, our team offers spinal cord stimulator (SCS) therapy right here in Snellville as part of our mission to provide the least invasive, most effective treatment options for chronic pain. This cutting-edge approach has helped thousands of patients nationwide reduce or eliminate pain—and regain control of their lives.
A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is a small, implantable medical device that helps manage chronic pain by disrupting pain signals before they reach the brain. It’s used primarily in patients who have not found relief from other treatments such as medications, injections, or previous surgeries.
Think of it as a neurostimulator for your spine—sending gentle electrical pulses that “interrupt” pain signals traveling along your spinal cord. Rather than feeling the pain, patients often report a mild tingling sensation or no sensation at all where they once felt discomfort.
The spinal cord stimulator system is made up of two main components:
Chronic pain often comes from overactive nerve signals sent from an injury or damaged spinal structures. SCS therapy doesn’t "fix" the source of pain—it modifies how the brain perceives it. By sending electrical impulses to the spinal cord, the device masks or interrupts those pain signals, effectively reducing how much pain you actually feel.
It’s a reversible, adjustable solution that has helped countless patients reduce their pain and reclaim their mobility—without the long recovery times of open surgery.
While a spinal cord stimulator doesn’t cure the underlying condition, it has become a trusted and proven method of pain management for patients who haven’t responded to traditional treatments. Most patients experience significant, sustained relief—with many reducing or eliminating their reliance on pain medications altogether.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine in Snellville, we use the latest spinal cord stimulation technology to help patients regain control over their lives and restore their quality of movement—without major surgery.
If you’ve been diagnosed with one of the following, you may be a strong candidate for SCS surgery:
When spinal surgery does not relieve—or worsens—chronic pain, SCS can offer a second chance at meaningful relief.
A rare but debilitating nerve condition, CRPS causes severe pain, swelling, and sensitivity, usually in the arms or legs. SCS is often one of the most effective therapies for this condition.
Damage to the peripheral nerves (often from diabetes, chemotherapy, or unknown causes) can result in burning, numbness, and tingling. Spinal cord stimulation may reduce these symptoms significantly.
Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve or nerve roots in the lower back can cause shooting leg pain and numbness. When other treatments fail, SCS may help restore comfort and mobility.
At Medici, we always begin with the least invasive treatments first. These may include physical therapy, medications, regenerative medicine, or targeted spinal injections. However, when these options no longer provide relief—or if their effectiveness wears off over time—a spinal cord stimulator may be the next step.
Before committing to a permanent implant, patients undergo a trial stimulation to test whether spinal cord stimulation will effectively manage their pain.
During the trial, you’ll work with our team to track your pain levels and overall function. If you experience at least 50% pain relief, the trial is considered successful, and we move forward with the permanent implant.
The permanent spinal cord stimulator system includes internalized leads and a pulse generator:
Because this is a minimally invasive outpatient surgery, most patients return home the same day.
Once the device is implanted, it is programmed specifically to your pain patterns. You’ll receive a handheld controller that allows you to:
Your care team will fine-tune the device over several visits to ensure optimal comfort and results.
Recovery after SCS surgery is generally quick and well-tolerated. Here’s what to expect:
Most patients report feeling a significant difference shortly after surgery—with reduced reliance on medications and improved mobility and sleep.
Many patients report a 50–70% reduction in daily pain following SCS implantation. Instead of sharp, burning, or stabbing sensations, they may feel a gentle tingling—or even no pain at all. For individuals with sciatica, nerve damage, or failed back surgery syndrome, this relief can be truly life-changing.
Spinal cord stimulation provides a non-pharmaceutical option for long-term pain management. With effective nerve signal modulation, many patients find they can reduce—or completely stop—relying on painkillers, especially opioids. This leads to fewer side effects, reduced dependency risks, and better overall health.
Chronic pain affects far more than just your body—it can limit your ability to move, sleep, work, and connect with loved ones. SCS therapy helps improve:
One of the biggest advantages of spinal cord stimulation is that it’s:
