Getting a Grip on Life

Bob, a car accident victim, had been suffering from shoulder pain so that even playing basketball with his kids had become difficult. His doctor recommended rotator cuff surgery.

A New Bounce on Pain Relief

Post-surgery, Bob required pain medications that induced side effects. His doctor suggested he switch treatment to daily use of the Select™ system. The site-specific shoulder program helps to break the pain cycle and has lessened Bob’s need for meds, so he can return to his favorite activities like teaching his daughter to shoot hoops. By placing electrodes on the shoulder, the Select device delivers stimulation to the pain site and provides localized relief by blocking the pain signals that radiate from the shoulder area.
