About Neuromodulation

Neuromodulation sends mild electrical pulses to stimulate the nerves involved in a specific condition to help relieve symptoms. Various types of neuromodulation devices and therapies treat a wide range of conditions involving nerves, muscles, and brain function.

Nerves send electrical signals between your brain and the rest of your body to control movement, feel pain and sensation, and perform many other functions. When a disease or injury affects the nerve signals, you experience pain, movement problems, and many other symptoms.

Our neurosurgeons and neurologists precisely place tiny electrodes next to the targeted nerves or area of the brain or spinal cord. The electrodes connect through thin leads to a small device, a power source that generates mild electrical pulses. The device delivers pulses through the leads to the electrodes to either interrupt pain signals or stimulate a neural response.

Neuromodulation therapy is highly personalized care because it’s:

• Testable: Before having a device implanted, you try the device and therapy to see how well it works for you.
• Adjustable: Our care team works closely with you to program the stimulation precisely to your needs, adjusting it over time as your needs change.
• Reversible: If you decide to stop treatment, doctors can remove the device, leads, and electrodes.
