Spinal Modulation is a medical device company focused on advancing neuromodulation for chronic pain through targeted stimulation of the dorsal root ganglion. Its Axium Neurostimulator System aims to interrupt pain signals at the spinal level, addressing conditions such as lower limb pain from nerve injuries and certain complex regional pain syndromes. The company serves patients suffering chronic pain and the clinicians and pain centers that treat them, offering a therapeutic option that complements existing pain management approaches by modulating neural pathways to reduce pain perception. Based in Menlo Park, California, with a global reach including operations in Europe and Australia, Spinal Modulation positions itself within the medical equipment manufacturing industry as a specialist in spinal cord stimulation technologies. The organizational footprint places it in the midsize category, reflecting a focused product portfolio and a strategy aligned with advanced neuromodulation solutions. A notable development in its history is the acquisition by St. Jude Medical, which completed in 2015, after the company had previously brought the Axium system to markets with international approvals and ongoing clinical study programs in the United States.
