If injections and conservative treatments haven’t given you the relief you were hoping for, spinal cord stimulation might be the next step worth exploring. We take the time to understand where your pain is really coming from before we ever talk about a treatment plan.
Common Causes
Chronic back pain rarely comes from just one thing. Before we recommend anything, including a spinal cord stimulator, we dig into what’s actually causing your discomfort.
Sometimes, pain lingers even after surgery, and that can be frustrating and confusing. If your Newark, NJ surgery didn’t bring the relief you expected, there may be other paths to explore.
As discs wear down, they can press on nearby nerves, causing persistent pain that interferes with daily movement.
When nerves get damaged or irritated, they can keep firing pain signals long after the original injury has healed.
Chronic pain in the back and legs that is not alleviated by rest alone can result from a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can exert pressure on nerves.
Advanced Treatment Options
Some pain doesn’t respond to rest, physical therapy, or basic treatments alone. That’s where our interventional options come in, designed to target pain at its source, often without surgery.
We deliver anti-inflammatory medication right where irritated spinal nerves need it most, helping to ease swelling and pain.
Expected Relief: 6 – 12 Weeks
Using targeted heat energy, we can quiet the specific nerve fibers responsible for sending pain signals.
Expected Relief: 6 – 12+ Months
These precise injections calm inflamed spinal joints and help us confirm exactly where your pain is coming from.
Expected Relief: 4 – 10 Weeks
A small implanted device sends gentle signals that interrupt pain before it ever reaches your brain. It's often considered for chronic pain that hasn't responded to other treatments.
Expected Relief: 1 – 5+ Years
Our Method
We sit down with you, review your pain history, and look at what treatments you’ve already tried.
Image-guided diagnostics help us pinpoint exactly where your pain signals are starting.
A short spinal cord stimulation trial gives you and Dr. Patel a real feel for how well it works before committing to anything permanent.
We stay involved, checking in and adjusting your plan so your comfort keeps improving over time.
Joint Injection FAQs
Most patients report that it feels like a routine injection, with only mild discomfort. Dr. Patel uses image guidance to keep things as comfortable as possible.
During the trial period, you’ll have several days to see how much relief you actually feel before deciding whether to move forward.
The trial itself is minimally invasive; no open surgery is required. If a permanent device makes sense for you, that’s a separate outpatient procedure.
We work with most major insurance plans and can help you check your coverage before your first visit.
If you’re dealing with chronic back or nerve pain, including pain after a failed back surgery, and other treatments haven’t helped, it may be worth a conversation with Dr. Patel to see if this fits your situation.
