STUART P.

In 2011, Stuart’s life took an unexpected turn when a motorcycle accident landed him in the hospital for a grueling three months. As he gradually recovered from the accident, a persistent shadow of chronic back pain emerged. The simplest daily activities aggravated his pain, and anything beyond walking left him needing days of recovery, confined to sitting or lying down.

Stuart’s physician explored with him – the possibility of trying a spinal cord stimulator to assess its effectiveness. In December 2021, Stuart embarked on this journey and received the Evoke® SmartSCS™ System, a safe, drug-free therapy that operates within the body to offer long-lasting relief from pain.

A year after receiving the device, Stuart’s pain has diminished, to the point where it is either mild or non-existent. The Evoke System has allowed him to reclaim an active lifestyle, enabling him to engage in activities such as pilates, bike riding, and simply going out with newfound ease.
