A small, round device is surgically implanted just under the skin of the abdomen.
A thin, flexible tube (catheter) connects the pump to the intrathecal space (the area surrounding the spinal cord).
The pump is programmed to deliver a precise, continuous amount of medication directly to the pain receptors in the spinal cord.
Patients often require only 1/100th of the dose they took orally to achieve the same or better pain relief.
Since the medication doesn’t circulate through the entire body, patients experience significantly less nausea, drowsiness, and “brain fog” compared to oral opioids.
You no longer need to remember a pill schedule; the pump provides steady, around-the-clock relief.
Our specialists refill the pump every 1–3 months through a simple injection in the office. The dosage can be adjusted wirelessly as your needs change.
