Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Therapy

For Family Members

Thank you for reading this page. Watching a loved one live with chronic pain is difficult.

Here are ways you can help:

• Attend appointments together — You may be able to express concerns that your loved one finds hard to put into words
• Read this information together — Understanding the treatment options as a family helps with decision-making
• Create a safe space to talk about pain — Let them know it's okay to say "I'm hurting" without feeling like a burden
• Prepare questions together — Consider printing the question list above to bring to the appointment

This page provides medically accurate information, but individual diagnosis and treatment decisions should always be discussed with your physician.

The supervising physician has financial relationships with Medtronic and Boston Scientific. For details, see About This Site.
