WaveWriter Alpha™ SCS System

On February 3, 2020, Dr. Suneil “Neil” Jolly became the first physician in Louisiana to implant a patient with the new Boston Scientific WaveWriter Alpha technology. Louisiana Pain Specialists, in conjunction with Crescent View Surgery Center, became the first facility to offer this new therapy that is aimed to provide immediate and long-lasting, non-opioid pain relief for patients living in chronic pain.

Dr. Suneil “Neil” Jolly is committed to improving the health and lives of his patients through compassion and diligence. He is always on the cutting edge of the latest innovative technologies including Radiofrequency Ablation, SI (Sacroiliac) Fusion, and Boston Scientific WaveWriter Alpha. Dr. Suneil “Neil” Jolly believes in providing non-opioid pain relief options for his patients and even started the S.A.F.E. initiative to help bring awareness to the opioid epidemic. The S.A.F.E. initiative is one component to battling the opioid epidemic. The S stands for safer prescribing which means limiting how opioids are prescribed. A is for alternative treatment options. This includes, but is not limited to, various alternatives to oral opioids such topical agents and creams. F stands for frequent monitoring. Learn more about the S.A.F.E. initiative – HERE.

What Is The WaveWriter Alpha™ SCS System?

WaveWriter Alpha is a pain management solution that is tailored to the patient’s needs. It is the first SCS portfolio designed to deliver Fast-Acting Sub-perception Therapy. The FAST and Optimized Contour Therapy provides “profound paresthesia-free pain relief in minutes and Contour Therapy delivers broad paresthesia-free coverage using less energy than conventional paresthesia-free therapies.”

We have a lot more to accomplish, but the field of neuromodulation continues to advance at an incredible speed. I am excited to offer this therapy to our patients in this great city and state. ~ Dr. Suneil (Neil) Jolly

The combination therapy offers better outcomes by utilizing multiple therapies simultaneously to treat more than one area of pain, like the low back and the leg, at the same time. The results of the combination has achieved a higher level of clinical and functional success. The Contour Therapy is personalized for each patient which allows for the optimal targeting of the stimulation field over multiple vertebral levels resulting in a better chance for greater pain relief.
