How the Therapies Work
Whether it's running errands, working in the yard, going to the movies or driving your kids to school, our proven therapies may help you engage in everyday life, every day.
Neurostimulation therapy
An implant delivers electrical impulses that interrupt the pain signals to your brain. So, instead of feeling pain, you'll feel a tingling sensation. Neurostimulation therapy outsmarts your pain. Learn more about neurostimulation therapy on medtronic.com.
Drug delivery therapy
Pain medication is delivered directly to the fluid around your spinal cord through a pump and catheter. This may result in more effective pain relief with fewer side effects than oral medication. Learn more about drug delivery therapy on medtronic.com.
Help you enjoy what life has to offer
Get your life back. With confidence that you can better manage your pain, you can get back to activities you once enjoyed. And, you may even be able to try new things you never thought you could. (Be sure to discuss new activities with your doctor first.)
Provide pain relief when and where you need it
With a Medtronic Pain Therapy, you and your doctor are in control of the amount of medicine or neurostimulation you receive. So, you get the pain relief whether you're enjoying a quiet day at home, a busy day at the office or a bike ride in the park.
Invisible to others
Medtronic Pain Therapies are generally invisible under clothes, so no one needs to know that you have an implanted device. But, you just might want to tell people about how a Medtronic pain therapy has helped you rejoin your life.
