When traditional medication doesn’t do enough to relieve your chronic pain, an implanted pain device can step in to save the day. Implanted pain devices are designed to help each individual patient with their specific needs. Here at Allpria Healthcare in Aurora, Colorado, we offer implanted pain devices to ensure that we provide multiple ways to help our patients achieve relief from their chronic pain.
Examples of implanted pain devices are peripheral nerve stimulation, intrathecal pain pumps, and spinal cord stimulator implants (SCS). Each of these devices are designed to work as around-the-clock pain relief. Instead of taking oral medication for pain, these devices are specially designed to release the right amount of medication that each individual needs. Because these devices are designed to specifically target certain areas, it lowers the side effects of using pain medications.
These devices are implanted without major surgery. The intrathecal pain pump is inserted with medication already inside of it. A patient with one of these devices will return to the Allpria Healthcare near them each month to refill the device with medication. The amount of medication being placed in the pump depends on the patient. Our staff is able to correctly calculate how much medication is right for each individual.
Here at Allpria Healthcare in Aurora, Colorado, we provide our patients with a trial period of the pain relief device so we can determine whether or not this specific treatment is right for you. We understand that most treatments aren’t right for everyone, so it is important to us to ensure that the implanted pain device truly works for the patient. Once the patient comes back after their trial, we can provide them with a long-term plan for their implanted pain device. We want to see our patients find relief from their pain as much as they do, so it is important to us that we find the right treatment for everyone. all us at (720)-307-7246 if you want to learn more about implanted pain devices, or if you think you might benefit from having one.
