Every year, thousands of people are involved in car accidents, long falls or
other traumatic events that may leave them with head and neck injuries that lead
to chronic headaches. For a long time, sufferers were told they had to learn to
live with it or endure a regular drug regimen to deaden the pain.
But now there's a new option: Occipital nerve stimulation. And Aurora Pain
Management was one of the pioneers in implementing this innovative treatment,
which involves implanting tiny electrodes under the skin of a patient. These
electrodes send electrical impulses that block pain messages. So many patients who previously had to live with chronic migraines can now
enjoy life with little or no pain.
Pain Management is the fastest growing specialty in medicine because pain
affects so many lives. Occipital nerve stimulation is just one of many
leading-edge treatments available to alleviate pain through Aurora's Pain
Management team of experts. It is our hope that our constant search will lead us
to treatments that can ease the pain of all who suffer.
