Spinal cord stimulation experience
Experienced neurosurgical judgment before device decisions.
A spinal cord stimulator is a medical device decision, but it is also a diagnosis decision. Apteum’s evaluation is designed to clarify whether SCS is reasonable, whether another spine problem needs attention, and what goals should define success for you.
He works with a community of experienced pain-management doctors and with Medtronic, Boston Scientific, and other manufacturers.
Manufacturer relationships do not imply endorsement of a specific device for every patient. Brand and system selection should be based on clinical need, anatomy, MRI considerations, programming goals, prior device history, and shared decision-making.
Additional systems as clinically appropriateYour evaluation focuses on your diagnosis, prior care and goals. Discuss the expected benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives before choosing your next step. An evaluation is not a commitment to surgery or an implant.

Care of injured patients differs from care of non-injury patients in several very important ways.
First, care of these patients may involve coordinated conservative treatment, such as physical or occupational therapy, and pain management interventions when appropriate to the injury and examination. This care must be coordinated.
Second, these patients often have legal proceedings that are heavily dependent on medical reporting of diagnostic results and accurate reporting of patient status in progress notes.
