Restorative Neurostimulation for Chronic Low Back Pain

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Steven Falowski, a neurosurgeon from Lancaster, introduces restorative neurostimulation as a unique approach for chronic low back pain. This method targets multifidus muscle dysfunction through implantable neurostimulation, providing successful pain control for patients with limited options. Data from three clinical trials show significant improvements in pain, disability, and quality of life over two years post-treatment. Regardless of age or prior treatments, patients experienced positive outcomes, indicating restorative neurostimulation as an effective solution for chronic low back pain where traditional methods have failed. This therapy offers long-term relief and improved quality of life for non-surgical low back pain patients.
