Jim,
Can you or anyone explain all the uses of a spinal cord stimulator? You're using it for peripheral neuropathy, but I'm wondering if it works for back pain, cervical pain, or any other type? I've heard of it but no one's ever explain to me exactly it's uses. Thank you, Jennifer

Hi Jennifer. As far as I know, it's designed to work with nerve pain. The leads are connected to the nerves that are in the spinal column, that control pain recognition, back, legs, feet, hands and arms, head, and torso - just about any nerves that are damaged or malfunctioning.

That's what I understand from my limited education. I would Google Burst DR or spinal cord stimulator for more information.

Jim
