Spinal Cord Stimulation

Spinal Cord Stimulation works like a pacemaker for the spine and is a revolutionary treatment for chronic pain.

Dr. Whyte was the first interventional spine specialist physician in the region to perform a spinal cord stimulation implant procedure using the most advanced stimulator technology available today. The stimulator device works like a “pacemaker for the spine” to deliver electrical signals to the spinal cord to mask pain signals. Patients must first undergo a trial to see if they are candidates for spinal cord stimulation. Once the device is implanted, it can be fine-tuned for precise coverage of the pain. Entertainer Jerry Lewis has spinal cord stimulation to treat his chronic pain.
