For athletes and sports enthusiasts, chronic back pain isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a roadblock that keeps you from performing at your peak. At the California Sports and Spine Institute (CSSI), Dr. Maxim Moradian and his team specialize in helping active individuals reclaim their mobility and passion for the game. With innovative treatments like Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) trials, you can take the first step toward a pain-free, active lifestyle and get back to doing what you love.

Understanding Spinal Cord Stimulation for Athletes

Spinal Cord Stimulation isn’t just another treatment; it’s a game-changer for those who lead an active lifestyle. The trial phase of this therapy allows you to "test drive" a cutting-edge solution designed to target chronic pain without surgery or heavy reliance on medication.

During the trial, temporary electrodes deliver low-level electrical impulses to disrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. This process can significantly reduce discomfort, allowing you to focus on training, competing, or simply enjoying your favorite activities again.

Who Can Benefit from SCS?

Spinal Cord Stimulation is an excellent option for active individuals facing chronic pain caused by:

• Sports injuries that lead to lingering back or nerve pain
• Overuse conditions, such as sciatica or neuropathy
• Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) from previous treatments
• Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)

If traditional treatments haven’t provided the relief you need, SCS could be your winning play.

Your Two-Step Path to Recovery

Step 1: Diagnostic Testing

The journey begins with an outpatient SCS trial. Temporary electrodes are placed to deliver electrical impulses, and you’ll monitor how the therapy impacts your pain and mobility over several days. This diagnostic approach ensures the treatment fits your active lifestyle.

Step 2: Personalized Spinal Cord Stimulation Therapy

If the trial is successful, a permanent device can be implanted to provide long-term relief. This customizable system is designed to support your unique goals, whether that’s running marathons, playing competitive sports, or hitting the gym pain-free.

Benefits of Spinal Cord Stimulation for Athletes

1. Keep Moving: SCS offers a minimally invasive solution, so you can avoid downtime from major surgery.
2. Pain-Free Performance: Many patients experience immediate and sustained pain relief, enabling them to get back in the game.
3. Tailored to Your Needs: The therapy is adjustable, ensuring it adapts to your specific pain levels and athletic demands.
4. Proven Track Record: SCS has been a reliable treatment for countless individuals seeking to stay active despite chronic pain.

What to Expect from the SCS Trial

During the trial, you’ll have a few days to assess how Spinal Cord Stimulation impacts your performance and daily routine. Many athletes notice improved mobility, reduced pain during workouts, and the ability to participate in activities they thought were no longer possible. Temporary side effects, like mild discomfort at the electrode site, are rare and typically resolve quickly.

Is Spinal Cord Stimulation the Right Move for You?

For athletes, staying active is non-negotiable. The team at CSSI understands the importance of maintaining peak performance and will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. A Spinal Cord Stimulation trial could be the key to overcoming pain and regaining your competitive edge.
