What happens when diabetic nerve pain doesn’t improve enough with medication?
Burning. Tingling. Shooting pain. Feet so sensitive that even light touch can hurt.
For some people with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy, medications and other conservative treatments simply don’t provide enough relief.
That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re out of options.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a treatment option for appropriately selected patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.
And unlike many treatments, SCS has a trial period—giving you an opportunity to experience the therapy temporarily before deciding whether a permanent implant is something you want to consider.
Want to understand how it works?
Dr. Melissa Burgos is hosting a FREE patient education event in Palm Bay on September 22.
Come learn about diabetic peripheral neuropathy, SCS, who may be a candidate, and what the trial process is actually like.
Patients, family members and caregivers are welcome.
Dr. Burgos speaks Spanish and will be happy to answer questions in either language.
