While this presentation is not eligible for CEUs, it is still brimming with useful information.

In this insider session, Mary Zalinger, PT, DPT, CLT, OCS, a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and Senior Physical Therapist, explains how Spinal Cord Stimulators (SCS) work, starting with the basics of how pain travels through the body and how stimulation blocks those signals.

She discussed who makes a good candidate, the psychological risk factors, contraindications, and precautions that predict poor outcomes, and how the trial period decides whether a patient moves on to a permanent implant. The session also covers which providers deliver this treatment, when to get a second opinion, and a real case of a patient who went from injections and surgery to a stimulator.
