TODD G.

The pain was unbearable; as a husband and father, Todd couldn’t really do anything. It all began in 2002, a year that marked the onset of his pain, which, over time, made it challenging for him even to walk. Todd embarked on a journey through physical therapy and ventured into more invasive treatments, culminating in back surgery, all in hopes of finding relief.

Despite enduring various treatments and undergoing back surgery, the pain persisted. In his quest for a solution, Todd turned to his doctor, inquiring about the possibility of a spinal cord stimulator. That’s when he learned about Evoke® SmartSCS™ System from Saluda, a revolutionary form of neuromodulation therapy. This compact device nestled safely within his body could automatically adjusts to his unique neural activity, providing reliable and consistent pain relief.

During the trial period, Todd experienced a remarkable transformation, experiencing moments of normalcy, whether sitting on the couch or lying in bed. Following the successful trial, Todd decided to move forward with the implant, and with it, he reclaimed his role as a dedicated father.

The Evoke System enabled Todd to regain control of his life. Now, he can resume coaching, play with his kids, and go about his day without the constant burden of pain.
