Relief That Lets You Move Again

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) with Nevro HFX™ at Southwest Cardiovascular Associates

Living with burning, tingling, numbness, or discomfort from neuropathy can make everyday activities feel overwhelming. At Southwest Cardiovascular Associates, we offer Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) using the Nevro HFX™ system—an advanced, minimally invasive
therapy designed to reduce neuropathic pain and help you return to a more active, comfortable life.

If medications or other therapies haven’t provided the relief you hoped for, SCS may be a meaningful next step.

Find Out If You're A Candidate

Who This May Help

SCS with Nevro HFXTM is especially helpful for people living with:

Peripheral neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy
Chronic nerve pain in the legs or feet
Burning, tingling, or electric-like sensations that interfere with sleep, walking, or daily function

Ideal candidates typically have symptoms lasting 6+ months and are looking for a
non-opioid treatment option.

How SCS with Nevro HFX™ Works

Your nerves send signals to the brain, including pain signals. Spinal Cord Stimulation
gently modifies how those pain signals are processed.

Nevro HFX™ uses high-frequency 10 kHz stimulation that is paresthesia-free, meaning
you don’t feel the buzzing or tingling that older stimulators produce. Most people simply
experience less pain.

Key points:

Minimally invasive outpatient procedure
Trial first — you test the therapy for several days before deciding on a permanent implant
Fully adjustable to match your symptoms and lifestyle
Non-opioid solution that works alongside your overall health plan

Benefits Our Patients Often Report

Reduced burning, tingling, and numbness
Improved walking tolerance
Better sleep and reduced nighttime discomfort
Greater independence and daily activity
Improved mood as pain becomes easier to manage

Individual results vary. Our team will help set personalized goals and monitor your
progress over time.

What to Expect: Step by Step

Consultation & Evaluation We review your medical history, symptoms, and previous treatments to determine if SCS is appropriate for you.
Temporary SCS Trial (3–7 days) A small lead is placed near the spine, and you go home the same day to test the therapy in your daily routine.
Review Your Results If you experience meaningful relief—often 50% or more—we discuss moving forward.
Permanent Implant (Outpatient) A small implanted device is placed under the skin and connected to the lead. Most patients return to light activity within a few days.
Follow-Up & Fine-Tuning The device is adjusted over time to keep your relief consistent and aligned with your lifestyle.

Testimonials

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Jost’s for several years.

We have seen him and his staff in the best of times as they saved my husband’s life. Also, in the not-so-best of times, when an Rx was not called in. We witnessed the doctor identify and correct the problem immediately with the staff responsible. They work diligently to provide first-class care in the new inclusive facilities where most of all testing and many procedures can be done on-site. Finally, we appreciate the vigilance to enforce proper Covid guidelines.

Everything went perfectly!

I had blockages removed from my tight leg. My nurse, Page, was excellent. I could feel her caring ways without her saying a word. She ensured me through the entire process. Everyone was really thoughtful and helpful.

Could have not asked for better service!

I’d like to especially give my thanks to the whole staff, from start to end, two weeks in a row. One person who made me feel really comfortable and relaxed. I don’t know if she went out of her way or that’s the way she treats her patients. Alex, you are a very big asset to that company and once again I Want to Thank You very much because you know I don’t like Doctor’s. And thank you again to the whole staff!

They know how to take care of their patients!

To be honest I was very nervous about this stress test. Thank God for Ainsley and Shelly. Both were very kind. They were able to not only explain the procedure very clear, but I was able to calm my nervousness. They did a good job. They know how to take care of the patients. Good job and thank you.
