Nevro HFX reviews: getting back to what you enjoy
Gene, suffered from low back and leg pain since the 1960s until he found HFX. Now he can keep up with mowing and trimming and maintaining his 80 acres of land for his grandsons to enjoy. He is fishing in his pond again and spends the winter woodworking in his heated shed. “HFX has made it possible for me to live the lifestyle I want,” Gene said.
For Howard, excruciating pain in his back and leg made it impossible just to get out of bed some days. Playing with his 7 grandchildren seemed completely out of reach —until he got HFX and it reduced his pain significantly. “A recent family trip to Disney World, where I walked through the park and enjoyed all the rides and attractions with my grandchildren, would never have been possible without HFX,” said Howard.
In all the Nevro HFX spinal cord stimulator reviews and testimonials, there is a common experience: people have found relief from their chronic pain, their quality of life has improved, and they’ve been able to get back to work, their families, their hobbies, whether that’s gardening, traveling or playing golf, and most importantly, their everyday life.
Nevro HFX reviews: pain relief for people who have tried all other treatment options
Many people try a spinal cord stimulator when they didn’t find relief with other pain management treatments. Take Jack, for example. When epidural injections, lumbar radiofrequency ablations, physical therapy, and two spinal fusions didn’t provide lasting relief for his chronic back pain, his doctor suggested an HFX trial. “I had tried so many different treatment options without success that I felt that HFX was my last resort,” Jack said. His pain relief from HFX was so great that he can now play pickleball and golf every day, whereas before he struggled to even make it through one game.
Some people find pain relief with HFX after surgery, like Ginger. Following two back surgeries, she experienced complications and had to have part of her tailbone removed because of an infection. Understandably, when her doctor recommended HFX, Ginger was reluctant to undergo yet another procedure. But she decided to give it a try, and her pain relief was so profound that she now says, “I could not be happier. I highly recommend an HFX trial for others if nothing else has worked to relieve their pain.
Nevro spinal cord stimulator reviews often mention finding relief after back surgery. That was the case with Charles. “When two back surgeries failed to provide relief, I started using alcohol and prescription pills to manage my pain,” he said. Then he found HFX. “It has been more than a year since the implant and I am almost completely pain-free and very grateful that I no longer need to rely on alcohol or medication.”
Nevro HFX reviews: a solution for people who have been in pain for decades
Many of the Nevro HFX spinal cord stimulator reviews mention the lasting relief it has provided after decades of chronic pain. That was certainly the case for Bryant, whose chronic debilitating back pain often made it impossible for him to do his job as a computer repairman. When his doctor recommended an HFX trial, he figured it was worth a shot. “Once the trial began, it took very little time for HFX to eliminate all the pain I had dealt with for almost 30 years,” Bryant said. “It seemed too good to be true, but now after almost six months with HFX, I am definitely a believer.”
“My only regret is that I didn’t know about HFX sooner,” said Rhonda, who suffered for 20 years from chronic debilitating back pain stemming from a serious car accident. Her first substantial relief—without medication—came during her HFX trial. Ever since her implant procedure a month later, Rhonda says she has had 90% consistent pain relief on average. “It was like I hit the jackpot!”
Maureen also endured pain for decades before HFX from scoliosis, along with burning and tingling in one leg due to a damaged nerve. “After 20 years of unrelenting, hardcore pain, I finally found relief with HFX,” she said. Once a marathoner, Maureen couldn’t even walk without pain before she had HFX. “I can do anything now. Not only do I have meaningful pain relief, but I also no longer have to spend the time to get epidurals,” she said.
Nevro HFX reviews: an option when a traditional spinal cord stimulator didn’t work
Some people have tried a traditional spinal cord stimulator and didn’t find lasting relief. Can HFX work for them? Yes! HFX relieves pain for nearly 80% of people, compared to only 49% who try a traditional spinal cord stimulator1. That’s because HFX is the most advanced spinal cord stimulator available.
Take Pam, for example. She was able to control her chronic leg and foot pain with a traditional spinal cord stimulator for years, even though it caused her uncomfortable sensations and required frequent management. When a fall caused that stimulator to become ineffective, however, Pam was once again struggling with unrelenting pain—until her doctor recommended trying HFX. Now, “I am able to do so many things that I couldn’t do before HFX. I am more active at work, take long walks, and spend time outdoors,” she said. “I have also completely stopped taking narcotic pain medications.”
Dan had also tried a traditional spinal cord stimulator for his constant pain, but it gave him little relief. After a consultation with his doctor and a successful HFX trial, Dan got the implant. “HFX reduced the pain by 60% and I have been gradually able to increase my activity level,” he said. “I am a regular at my local gym now.”
Tammy had a similar experience, where a traditional spinal cord stimulator trial didn’t provide her lasting pain relief. She took her doctor’s recommendation to do an HFX trial and was pleased to find she had a 60% pain reduction. “My goal was just to reduce a small portion of my everyday pain, and this has been life-changing,” said Tammy.
Nevro HFX reviews: pain relief for specific pain conditions and causes
People who had pain resulting from all sorts of causes and conditions have given positive Nevro HFX spinal cord stimulator reviews about the lasting pain relief they’ve experienced. Some people experienced pain following car accidents until they tried HFX and finally found relief. Many other people sustained a work injury that left them unable to work, or in some cases walk, before they tried HFX and got their life back.
Nevro spinal cord stimulator reviews are filled with stories from people who got HFX and finally found relief from pain caused by sciatica and spinal stenosis, as well as conditions such as failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
Nevro HFX reviews: an alternative to opioids
HFX has helped many people reduce or completely stop opioids. For Fred, prescription pain medications provided enough relief to make it bearable to live with the pain or give him the mobility he wanted. After getting HFX, however, “I consistently have 80-90% pain relief and no longer have to take pain medication,” he said. Fred is back to doing everyday activities and has taken up watercolor painting now that he can sit without pain.
“It was easily a 10 on the pain scale,” said Carole about her excruciating low back pain. Not even maximum doses of narcotic pain medications could control it. Yet three days into an HFX trial, Carole called her doctor in tears of joy and relief. Six weeks after her implant, she was able to stop taking narcotics and at the six-month mark, she reported that 80% of her pain was gone. Carole is enjoying water aerobics and tracks the thousands of steps she now takes every day on a pedometer.
Nevro HFX testimonial: Rod’s Story
“HFX has given me back what I lost,” said Rod, getting choked up as he recalls how in his work as a farmer he fell while lifting hay, requiring a back fusion and narcotics until he found HFX. Now he is back doing the things he enjoys, such as woodworking with his grandchildren and traveling.
Nevro HFX testimonial: Robin’s Story
“HFX has been a miracle for me. I’m off all my medications and back to being who I should be,” said Robin, who was taking 6 different pain medications following a car accident. She can do activities with her family again and her outlook on life is so much better.
