Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation

When you have localized pain, especially in the lower extremity and foot, DRG by Abbott may be used by Dr. Burke.

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation therapy is a new type of neurostimulation therapy designed to manage difficult-to-treat chronic pain in specific areas of the lower body, such as the foot, knee, hip or groin.

DRG Stimulation can treat chronic pain associated with CRPS I and causalgia of the lower body (CRPS II)

How It Works

“By focusing electrical stimulation specifically on the DRG, we’re able to interrupt pain signals before they reach the spinal cord, so you don’t feel pain in the same way.”
