Approximately 2% of the work force are compensated for back injuries each year.
Neuropathic chronic low back and hip pain is the largest proportion of direct medical costs in the US. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The cluneal nerves are fhé primary sensory nerve supply to the iliac crests, hips, buttocks, and thighs. When the pain is located in the focal area across the top of the hips, it is usually carried to the brain by the superior cluneal nerves.
The cluneal nerves are formed from the lumbar and secral spine nerve roots.
Spinal surgery can result in scarring and fibrosis, alterations in muscle tension criss-crossing layers of tissue, and surgical trauma to the nerve branches if bone is harvested from the iliac crest. These various pressure stresses on the cluneal nerves in the low back can result in:
- Neural entrapment
- Neural tethering (stretching)
- Chronic, indolent neuralgia
- Altered biomechanics of adjacent fascial planes
The Freedom Stimulator is placed with a minimally invasive procedure through only a small incision over the cluneal nerve in the lower back. Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Cluneal Nerve is a treatment for your long-term neuropathic and mechanical low back pain effectively without drugs!
Stimulation uses electrical signals to interrupt pain signals to the brain.
A stimulator, the size of a very small wire with electrodes on it, is placed near the painful nerve to deliver electrical pulses. The intensity and frequency of the electrical current are able to alleviate vour pain and help you get back to a normal life.
You control the therapy as the Freedom System integrates Wireless Pain Relief into your clothes and dally activity, so you can have less pain and more living!
