Take Your Life Back from Chronic Pain – Without Surgery or Permanent Implants with Sprint PNS
Chronic pain can affect every part of your life—physically, emotionally, and mentally. When medications, injections, or therapy haven’t provided the relief you hoped for, it’s easy to feel discouraged. The good news is that surgery isn’t your only option. Minimally invasive treatments, like the Sprint Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) System, offer an innovative approach to pain relief. This system can also serve as a safe, temporary way to try nerve stimulation. If you’re unsure about a permanent implant, or didn’t initially qualify for one, this short-term therapy lets you experience how nerve stimulation may help your pain.
What Is the Sprint PNS Stimulator?
The Sprint PNS System is a temporary, non-surgical treatment designed to help relieve chronic pain by targeting the nerves responsible for pain signals. The Sprint PNS System gently stimulates peripheral nerves to help retrain how the brain responds to pain. Unlike permanent implants, the system is removed after 60 days of treatment, however many patients continue to experience meaningful relief, improved movement, and a better quality of life long after.
How Does Sprint Work?
During a simple outpatient procedure, your pain management provider places a very thin wire (called a lead) near the nerve causing your pain. The lead connects to a small external stimulator that’s worn discreetly on the body. The stimulation is mild and adjustable, often described as a light tingling or gentle pulsing sensation. Most patients can continue their normal daily activities during treatment. After 60 days, the lead is removed in the office—no surgery required.
Conditions Sprint May Help Treat
Sprint PNS is commonly used for patients experiencing:
- Shoulder pain
