Sprint PNS – Peripheral Nerve Stimulation

Sprint PNS – Peripheral Nerve Stimulation

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) via the SPRINT system is a minimally invasive, neurostimulation therapy designed to provide significant relief for both acute and chronic pain without the need for permanent implants or hardware. Unlike traditional spinal cord stimulators, the SPRINT system utilizes a fine, coiled wire lead that is placed percutaneously (through the skin) near a target peripheral nerve.

The procedure is typically guided by ultrasound to ensure precision, and once positioned, the lead is connected to an external pulse generator worn on the body. Over a 60-day treatment period, the device sends mild electrical pulses to the nerve to “re-train” the central nervous system and disrupt pain signaling. At the end of the two-month cycle, the lead is simply removed, often resulting in sustained pain reduction that persists long after the device is gone, making it a popular bridge between conservative treatments like physical therapy and more invasive surgical interventions.

Are you living with chronic pain but aren’t ready to commit to a permanent surgical implant? Welcome to a breakthrough in pain management. In this video, we’re exploring the SPRINT Peripheral Nerve Stimulation system—a unique treatment designed to dial back your pain by retraining your nervous system. We’ll show you how this minimally invasive, drug-free technology works, what to expect during the process, and why a temporary lead can lead to long-term relief. Let’s dive into the future of pain relief.

General Ask

Does the clinic accept my insurance?

To accurately verify your coverage and determine the support we can offer through your insurance, give us a call and provide us with the following:

Your full name and date of birth

The name of your insurance company

Your member ID (usually found on your insurance card)

Once we have this information, our support team can verify your benefits and let you know what kind of support is available.

Do you take walk-ins?

Unfortunately, we cannot accept walk-in appointments at this time. This is primarily because most insurance plans require a formal referral from your Primary Care Provider (PCP) for a specialist visit, like ours.

The Referral Process: Without a current, valid referral on file, your insurance company will likely deny coverage for the visit. We must have that referral documentation before your appointment is scheduled to ensure your visit is covered.

What to do next: Please call your PCP and request they send a referral to our clinic first. Once we receive and process the referral, we will contact you immediately to schedule your appointment.

Corpus Christi Pain Medicine (CCPM) is a specialized interventional pain management practice dedicated to helping patients find relief from chronic and acute pain through minimally invasive procedures.
