WALTER G.

Walter had always been both physically and mentally active. But over time chronic pain began to slow him down. With each passing day, his pain intensified, making simple tasks like walking, and bending excruciating challenges. It wasn’t long before the relentless presence of chronic pain consumed his thoughts, becoming an unbearable burden he could no longer ignore. Walter knew it was time to seek medical help.

His quest for relief led him to nine specialists, eventually leading to a referral to a pain clinic. There, he discovered the Evoke® SmartSCS™ System, a safe and drug-free therapy that operates within the body, offering enduring pain relief. Having read about spinal cord stimulation, Walter had some inkling of what to expect and decided to trial the device. To his astonishment, an immediate response followed, allowing him to stand upright once more, a feat he hadn’t achieved in a long time.

The trial proved to be an outstanding success, paving the way for Walter to opt for a permanent implant. Today, he continues to lead a life with the Evoke SmartSCS System, a device that has significantly improved his pain to the extent that he can often forget it’s even there.
