Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

Some reports estimate that anywhere from 20% to 40% of spinal surgeries result in failed back surgery syndrome, studies show that the odds of experiencing continued pain is increased by undergoing more than one surgical procedure.

We treat failed back surgery syndrome, working to help you manage your pain. Initial treatment plans can include nerve blocks, injections or treatment that can block pain signals temporarily, which is done by a procedure called radiofrequency neurotomy. An exercise program that may help the gradual recovery of muscle strength may also be included as part of the individual treatment plan.

Other options may be considered if the pain is unbearable or debilitating. We work to ensure you can have a normal life, while your pain is managed. You may still experience pain, but it will be manageable.
