A member asked:
Surgeon gave info spinal cord stimulator. for c6/7 l4/5 herniated, reversed lordosis, ddd, arthritis. does it feel/act like a tens unit but internal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It works on the same gate theory of pain as the tens but doesn't feel similar and higher efficacy works best for neuropathic pain in my experience and opinion covers axial pain less effectively
