Spinal Cord Stimuators
Original Post: Is there any reason that spinal cord stimulators are counter indicative for PPS or is it a try-it-and-see situation?
Dr. Bruno’s Response: Every one of our Post-Polio Institute patients who had a stimulator implanted had it removed. They couldn't tolerate the electric "shocks" plus the device didn't reduce pain.
This is another reason to treat the CAUSE of pain, not the symptom.
