She Has Her Life Back

Alicia Parks was puzzled by the sharp, shooting sensations in her leg and back, but as the "excruciating pain" persisted, she sought medical care. An MRI revealed severe back problems and doctors recommended surgery. Alicia was hesitant, but when other treatments failed, including intensive physical therapy and multiple pain medications, she reluctantly agreed.

Unfortunately, the pain continued after the surgery, so Alicia's doctor implanted the Eon Rechargeable IPG System, which is designed to manage chronic back and leg pain.

Alicia feels "so much better" and says that the implant has "given me my life back."
