What Is Spinal Cord Stimulation?
Chronic pain can quietly redefine your life. At DFW Sports Medicine, Dr. Rathna Nuti and her team help patients regain movement and comfort with thoughtful, science-backed solutions that help them move freely again. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a medical treatment that uses a small pain management device to deliver mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord. These pulses block pain signals from reaching the brain. The device is called a spinal cord stimulator and is placed under the skin by a specialist. This treatment is often used for patients who suffer from long-term pain. It may help those living with sciatica nerve pain, back pain, and other types of nerve pain management issues. To find out if this therapy may be right for you, schedule a consultation at our McKinney, Frisco, or Lewisville, TX practice today.
How Does Spinal Cord Stimulation Work for Chronic Pain?
SCS therapy starts with a careful evaluation by Dr. Nuti, who will create a custom plan based on your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. The process begins with a trial period. A temporary device is placed near the spinal cord. Thin wires are guided through a needle to send gentle pulses. These pulses interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. If the trial helps reduce pain, a permanent device may be implanted during a short outpatient procedure. Our goal is to deliver relief without relying on long-term medication. Patients are supported throughout the entire process with guidance, monitoring, and education to make the most of the treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Spinal Cord Stimulation?
Pain can keep you from doing the things you enjoy and affect your quality of life. Spinal cord stimulation at DFW Sports Medicine may help restore comfort with fewer side effects than many traditional treatments. Benefits of spinal cord stimulators for back pain and related conditions include:
- Reduces chronic back, leg, and sciatic nerve pain
- Lowers the need for pain medications
- Improves sleep and daily movement
- Reversible and adjustable treatment option
- Helps those who have not found relief with other therapies
- Can be effective for failed back surgery syndrome
- Increases physical function over time

Dr. Nuti is thorough, professional, and genuinely cares for her patients. The speed with which her office responds to emails and messages is amazing. I sought her help with a medical issue and was so impressed that I switched my care for a wholly unrelated issue from another doctor to her.
