OR-Live.com webcast February 6, 2008 at 6:00 PM From Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY
As more and more Americans are working harder, living longer and looking to remain active, chronic pain has become a main focus in today’s world of pain medicine. Premiering on February 6, 2008, Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City will showcase recent advances in chronic-pain therapy and innovations in spinal cord stimulation through a specialized webcast. Spinal cord stimulation uses an implantable device that is surgically placed under the skin to send mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord or to a specific nerve. Patients have the ability to control the stimulation by turning the device on or off, and to modulate pain relief as needed, based on their pain or activity.
