I think this would be possible depending on the unit used. Was talking to my Nevro Rep about using SCS for long term sciatica problems and she said that my PM specialist could run one wire up to my neck and one wire for my hip, so I'm assuming that means it is possible to do what you ask. But I've only been looking into these gadgets for a short time, so one of the long term residents might have a more definitive answer for you.
