Is there such a thing as a rechargeable spinal cord stimulator?

Yes, there is. The Food and Drug Administration, FDA, approved one in 2004 for use in the United States. While their initial cost is greater, these units are projected to last ten to 25 years, providing a substantial cost savings over the course of a lifetime.
