Could a Spinal Cord Stimulator Trial Help Relieve Your Chronic Pain?

Living with chronic pain can make even simple daily activities feel overwhelming. If you’ve tried medications, physical therapy, injections, or even surgery without achieving lasting relief, you may wonder what options remain.

For many patients, a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) trial offers an opportunity to determine whether advanced pain management technology can significantly reduce chronic pain before committing to permanent treatment.

At Glowacki MD in Troy, Michigan, Dr. Martin Glowacki offers comprehensive evaluations to determine whether a spinal cord stimulator trial may be an appropriate option as part of an individualized interventional pain management treatment plan.

Listen to Dr. Glowacki discuss how you can live a pain free life and what you need to know about stem cell therapy.

The current onslaught of various medical and peripheral medical professionals selling a cure-all for knee and joint pain through “stem cell” injections is luring pain suffering patients eager to avoid surgery to plunk down $5,000 – $10,000 cash for a quick cure.

Stem cell therapy is not currently covered by insurance. Seminars heavily promoted on social media encourage pain sufferers to attend, sign up and prepay for the consultation and initial treatment.

Martin Glowacki, M.D., Board Certified Anesthesiologist and Pain Management specialist, warns patients to beware and be forewarned.
