Epidural Stimulation Program – Victory Over Paralysis

The Epidural Stimulation Program focuses on understanding how controlled electrical stimulation to the lower portion (lumbosacral) of the spinal cord enables the recovery of specific functions of the nervous system. Our mission is to advance the continuum of care and cure.
