Former Army Officer Implanted with Neurostimulator for Chronic Pain
“I’d gone through so many surgeries, tried so many medications, and each doctor I went to said, ‘This is the best that there is out there. If we can’t do this you’re just going to have to live with it’, but that was unacceptable to me.”
– Adam Hammond

DRG Therapy: A Different Approach to Pain Relief
Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) 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 therapy may be an option if you have:
- Chronic pain that has lasted six months or more
- Isolated chronic pain in a lower part of the body, such as the foot, knee, hip or groin, following an injury or surgical procedure
- Little or no relief from traditional neurostimulation, surgery, pain medications, nerve blocks or other pain management therapies
