We understand that back pain is a common problem that can affect the quality of life for many people. As a daily practicing vascular surgeon, I often see patients come to me with leg pain only to find that their vascular status is normal. Often, however, the cause of their discomfort lies in the back, which is known as radicular symptoms.
Radicular symptoms occur when nerve roots in the spinal cord are irritated or trapped by herniated discs, narrowing of the spinal canal or other problems. These can lead to pain, numbness or muscle weakness in the affected extremities. To effectively treat these symptoms, we offer an innovative solution: electrical stimulation with the Stimawell device.
This new method of electrostimulation therapy is non-invasive, meaning it does not require injections or cortisone therapy. Instead, it uses targeted electrical impulses to stimulate the affected nerves and relieve pain. This treatment can help reduce symptoms, improve mobility and increase the quality of life of our patients.
Our team of experienced vascular surgeons is available to develop individualized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. Contact us today to learn more about our innovative treatment options for radicular symptoms and to schedule an appointment. We look forward to helping you live a more active and pain-free life.
