Will spinal cord stimualtion help if there is nerve damage
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It may: It depends on the nature of your damage. The best way to answer that would be to see a neurosurgeon who can do necessary tests/studies that will give him information on how successful this method can be in your case.
