Power over Pain is an informative website brought to you by Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc (ANS), who are a technology leader in implantable neurostimulation therapies. The website presents its information in both in English and Spanish welcoming you with the question of whether you have you have lived with chronic pain for years or have just been diagnosed, with the view to helping you find the information you need to get “power” over your pain.
The site presents itself in an easy navigable format inviting you to first start understanding pain. Taking a layman’s approach they explain quite well what types of pain there are and what the causes are, supporting this with links to some great independent resources which help you discover just about everything that your likely to want to know if your one of the unlucky ones who suffers from acute chronic pain. Taking the time to read through the site by using their navigation step by step you’ll not only learn what types of pain there are but you’ll quickly figure out that this site is leading you somewhere, that somewhere being a way to manage that pain.
As we did, you’ll soon find yourself on the page that demonstrates a system they call SCS or Spinal Cord Stimulation which is a medical therapy for people who suffer from certain types of chronic pain. SCS uses a small implanted device to generate tiny electrical pulses that replace the feeling of pain with a tingling or massaging sensation. SCS is a proven technique and is an FDA-approved therapy for treatment of chronic pain of the trunk and limbs (back, legs and arms).
There are three types of treatment on offer through this service offer and depending on whether your physician thinks that SCS is something that may benefit you there is ample information to put your mind at ease at the simplicity of the procedures which in effect are nothing more than having a small piece of electric equipment placed on your body that generates mild electrical pulses and sends them to your spinal cord. The purpose of these electrical pulses replace the feeling of pain with a tingling or massaging sensation. The procedures as you’ll find out through the site usually only involve a visit to a day surgery center and performed on an outpatient basis at a hospital, pain clinic.
If after reading the more than informative site contents you still have doubts that there actually can be cure or control for your pain then why not take a look at the many testimonials on the site. Ask your own doctor for more information, Power over your pain actually provide you with a list of questions you can take to him. Having said this, the site is so packed full of information you’ll possibly know just as much as your doctor when it comes to the SCS systems, although of course its recommended you always seek professional medical opinion first.
The Power over your Pain website doesn’t oversell the systems and techniques that they have available, instead choosing to first provide you with as much information as possible and then guiding you through the process of consultation which then should ultimately lead you to making an informed opinion on whether the treatment is for you. If you still need some time and convincing that this type of treatment is for you then why not request one of their information packs, what do you have to lose?
