Chronic pain can consume your life physically, mentally, and emotionally. From persistent backache to leg and arm pain or an chronic pain that never seems goes away —any form of constant discomfort can make daily tasks seem insurmountable. But in North Dallas TX, there’s an effective yet drug-free solution available called Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS).
At Dallas Pain Institute, our pain clinics in Rowlett, Sherman, Greenville & Forney, TX, we specialize in advanced pain management therapies to help restore quality of life; PNS is one of our most promising tools to address chronic nerve pain at its source.
What Is Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)?
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses gentle electrical pulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach your brain, offering an alternative treatment option free from medications or surgery that works directly with the natural nervous system of your body.
Here’s how it works:
- Tiny wires known as leads are placed just beneath your skin near the nerves responsible for your pain.
- These leads are connected to an implantable pulse generator (IPG).
- IPG sends out mild electrical impulses which interfere with pain signals before they reach your brain, effectively blocking them from reaching there.
- Most patients do not feel any impulses, though some may experience mild tingling sensations known as paresthesia.
Why Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Works
Imagine that each nerve is like a telephone line; each conversation must only ever travel one way at once. When activated, the Nalu Neurostimulation System sends electrical impulses down similar paths as pain signals would usually travel; since each nerve has already become “occupied” with this new signal, any pain signals would simply not get through anymore.
This simple concept has positive life-altering implications for those suffering from chronic pain conditions.
How Peripheral Nerve Stimulation Can Benefit You
Peripheral nerve stimulation is often recommended to individuals who have been unsuccessful in finding relief through traditional pain treatments such as medications, physical therapy or injections.
The Nalu Neurostimulation System can be especially useful for managing pain in certain areas of the body:
- Shoulder
- Back
- Arms
- Legs
- Feet
- Ankles
With regards to chronic pain from injuries, inflammation or degenerative conditions, peripheral nerve stimulation may help you regain control while decreasing opioids or other medication usage.
