Intraspinal Drug Therapy

Print This Page

Severe, widespread chronic pain may not be manageable by traditional systematic therapy for some patients. Some of these patients receive only a little pain relief and experience unpleasant or dangerous side effects. For certain patients, intraspinal morphine delivery provides improved pain control along with reduced side effects because the drug is targeted to spinal cord receptors. The amount of medications and timing of delivery can be non-invasively adjusted using an external programmer so that pain therapy can be given according to each patient's needs. Refilling of the drug pump reservoir is accomplished by needle access.

I am happy...
I am happy to say I have my life back again. It is so nice to go day after day without pain. I cannot thank the Dr. and his staff enough. They have given me back the freedom to enjoy all the things that the pain had taken from me.

Positively Impressed!
From my initial consult throughout my treatment, I have been positively impressed with my care and the course of my therapy. I am treated with care and compassion on such an individual level, that I do not feel I am just another patient.
