When back pain strikes, it can be unbearable. For most people, a combination of traditional treatments such as rest, anti-inflammatories and pain medications, physical therapy and spinal injections solve the problem. A small percentage of patients will also benefit from back surgery. But what happens when the pain persists even after doctors have tried nearly everything?

For Alexa Alexander, who had already undergone conservative treatments and surgery, some interesting technology and the unending determination of a team of physicians at Baptist Health Miami Neuroscience Institute brought her relief. “After being through excruciating pain, being barely able to walk and then still having numbness, tingling and burning sensations in my thigh, spinal cord stimulation has changed my life,” she says.
