SPINAL CORD STIMULATION IS A TYPE OF NEUROMODULATION. SCS ALTERS NERVE FUNCTION AND ACTIVITY BY DELIVERING A MILD ELECTRICAL CURRENT DIRECTLY ONTO THE SPINAL CORD OR TO NERVE CELLS BESIDE IT. IT IS USED FOR PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PAIN WHO ARE RESISTANT TO CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT. SCS WORKS BEST IN PATIENTS WHO HAVE NERVE DAMAGE PAIN OR CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT CHANGES THE STRENGTH AND VOLUME OF PAIN SIGNALS THAT GO UP THE SPINAL CORD TO THE BRAIN, REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF PAIN THE PATIENT FEELS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a73e7097c7a156eea4fc9/d160cbbe-a2d5-4320-a163-2c696a7125e2/Back+Pain+Doctor.jpg Spinal Cord Stimulator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a73e7097c7a156eea4fc9/8a8dd66a-005c-41ff-b29a-24b9a37ad400/Spine+Back+Pain.jpg Spinal Cord Stimulator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a73e7097c7a156eea4fc9/745217db-1fa1-420d-ba00-1ece9a9fa2e0/Back+Pain+Patient.jpg Spinal Cord Stimulator - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.drphiliphu.ie/about daily 0.75 2023-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a73e7097c7a156eea4fc9/04299a74-93de-4cc6-ac0f-b6ad75e96ad9/Dr+Philip+Hu+Headshot.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a73e7097c7a156eea4fc9/eee5ea73-d2f1-42e3-b57c-94f53817db53/Dr+Philip+Hu+Appointment About - My approach I believe in working compassionately and competently with the patient to help them manage their pain. I practice holistic pain medicine, using the Bio-psycho-social model, exploring, and understanding the diagnosis, the psychological needs, and the social circumstances of each patient. In partnership with the patient, a tailored effective treatment plan is devised. This plan may include medication, rehabilitation, lifestyle modification, psychological support, and injections to help achieve a satisfactory and realistic outcome for the patient. In some situations, I may need to collaborate with other healthcare professionals to improve pain management. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a73e7097c7a156eea4fc9/e3ec9410-2b8a-4b64-a862-44d188fffbe5/Spine+Pain+Dr+Hu.jpg About - Specialist Interests: Spinal pain Neuropathic pain Persistent post-surgical pain Interventional pain medicine Regenerative Therapy Botox for Migraines and Headaches Multidisciplinary management of chronic pain https://www.drphiliphu.ie/contact-us daily 0.75 2026-01-08 https://www.drphiliphu.ie/spinal-cord-stimulator-after-care-information daily 0.75 2023-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a73e7097c7a156eea4fc9/1628634691075-86I0PXF5CGW6PLK803MK/SCS+Aftercare+page+Dr+Hu Spinal cord stimulator – after care information - Please keep your wound clean and dry.

THEY ARE CONNECTED TO ONE ANOTHER ALLOWING YOUR SPINE TO MOVE AND ALSO PROTECTS THE SPINAL CORD AND NERVES. THESE STRONG INTERCONNECTIONS ARE MADE UP OF INTERVERTEBRAL DISCS (WHICH ACT AS YOUR SPINE’S SHOCK ABSORBING SYSTEM) AND FACET JOINTS (WHICH CONNECT THE VERTEBRAE TO ONE ANOTHER). THESE STRUCTURES CAN WEAR DOWN AND, WITH TIME, AND CAUSE PAIN. https://www.drphiliphu.ie/patient-information daily 0.75 2023-03-10 https://www.drphiliphu.ie/prescription daily 0.75 2022-05-17 https://www.drphiliphu.ie/rhizotomy-patient-information-leaflet daily 0.75 2023-07-11 https://www.drphiliphu.ie/pulsed-radiofrequency-therapy-prf-patient-information-leaflet daily 0.75 2023-07-11 https://www.drphiliphu.ie/spinal-injections-patient-information-leaflet daily 0.75 2023-07-11 https://www.drphiliphu.ie/botulinum-toxin-a-patient-information-leaflet daily 0.75 2023-07-11 https://www.drphiliphu.ie/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2023-06-08 https://www.drphiliphu.ie/rhizotomy-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-30
