Hello Jennelle,

Yes, it is a spinal cord stimulator. It didn't work for me but that doesn't mean it won't work for you. I have full body RSD and they couldn't get it programmed for full body stimulation. The leads where from C3 in my neck to the lumbar area of my spine. When it was on and I turned my head it would turn up the stimulation and shock me. Mine was very sensative to posture. When I sat down it would change the stimulation and it would go so low it wasn't helping. They are expensive my insurance was billed 52,000.00 and it took a year for them to settle on 32,000.00. I had it for 2 1/2 years and had it removed for less than 5,000.00.
Best of luck with your journey for relief!!!
Take care,
Sherrie
