BurstDR™ is a different type of neurostimulation (spinal cord stimulation) that treats pain by mimicking natural patterns found in the brain.
How does it work?
Pain signals travel up the spinal cord to the brain
A generator, similar to a cardiac pacemaker, send BurstDR pulses to a thin wire called a lead
This lead delivers these pulses to nerves along the spinal cord
The pulses modify the pain signals as they travel to different parts of the brain
The pulses change the way your body perceives pain – providing potential relief from the physical pain
Begin with a temporary evaluation
To see if BursdtDR™ is right for you, a short procedure can be performed. A temporary lead is placed along with an external battery for a short period of time.
