Injuries to the knee are fairly common, especially among athletes.

Hip pain can be caused by arthritis, but can also be due to sciatica or other nerve damage in the back.

Pain in the chest, abdomen and/or groin can be difficult to diagnose and to treat. However, technology advances in medicine have improved the process greatly. Some conditions have been benefitted by the use of nerve stimulation, using the technology of the spinal cord stimulator, otherwise known as the “pacemaker for pain.”
