Dr Ioannis Skaribas Spinal Cord Stimulation Procedure

Here Dr. Skaribas prepares the patient for Spinal Cord Simulation (SCS) therapy. The doctor is preparing for the placement of the electrodes into the spine. SCS uses groundbreaking technology that works by introducing an electrical current into the epidural space near the source of chronic pain impulses. Under minimal sedation, your physician will administer a local anesthetic with a small needle to numb the skin at the area of the procedure. Your doctor will first insert a needle in the back into the epidural space. Placed through the needle is the trial SCS wire with electrical leads on its tip. The trial stimulator is taped to your back and connected to a stimulating device, and the patient typically wears it on the spine under close physician supervision for 5-7 days. If the trial successfully relieves your pain, you can undergo a permanent SCS device implant.

SCS therapy may help with your chronic body pain. For more information on SCS, contact Dr. Ioannis Skaribas at
