Navya Smith, a 28-year-old graphic designer,...
Navya Smith, a 28-year-old graphic designer, had her life upended by a car accident two years ago. The whiplash injury left her with chronic, debilitating neck pain and persistent migraines that made focusing on her work nearly impossible. After trying physical therapy, medications, and injections with only fleeting relief, her neurologist, Dr. Chen, recommended Occipital Nerve Stimulation. Navya was terrified of the idea of 'wires in her neck' but desperate for a change. The trial involved a week with temporary leads, during which she felt a gentle, tingling sensation that masked her pain. The success was profound. After the permanent implant, Navya experienced a 70% reduction in pain. The emotional shift was monumental; she moved from a state of constant anxiety and hopelessness to feeling like she had her future back, able to paint and socialize without the shadow of pain.
