Louisiana Pain Specialists is committed to providing patients the most innovative treatment options available for chronic pain. Along with Crescent View Surgery Center in Metairie, Louisiana, Louisiana Pain Specialists recently hosted a peripheral nerve stimulation training lab using the StimWave technology. Physicians from multiple pain practices throughout Louisiana came together to collaborate and to learn more about the unique benefits of StimWave for peripheral nerve pain.
Stimwave offers two types of neurostimulator devices that provide long-lasting pain relief. The Freedom SCS System and StimQ PNS System relieve pain by sending electrical stimulation to block those pain signals from reaching the brain. Unlike any other device, Stimwave is powered wirelessly and without an implanted battery
Freedom SCS (Spinal Cord Stimulator) System is used to treat chronic intractable pain typically associated with your back and legs by stimulating nerves along your spine. The StimQ PNS (Peripheral Nerve Stimulator) system treats chronic intractable pain by stimulating individual nerves throughout your body.
