Failed Back Surgery Syndrome in Camp Springs

How We Help Failed Back Surgery Syndrome!

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) refers to a condition that patients suffer following spinal surgery for back or leg pain. This condition arises, just as the name suggests, when surgery fails and the patient still suffers from the original pain. This condition does not imply that problems typically arise during surgery or that surgery does not work to correct the problem. Rather, this condition is only referring to the continued pain that patients experience after surgery and the pain that was supposed to be alleviated from the surgical procedure. The chances of continued pain after surgery rise significantly when multiple surgeries are performed on the same area of the back. According to Marc Russo who is the Executive Officer at the International Neuromodulation Society, reports have suggested that FBSS has a 20-40% chance of occurring, and “the likelihood is considered greater with repeated surgery” (neuromodulation.com, 2012).

Traditionally, failed back surgery syndrome treatments consist of pain management pills with terrible side effects or surgeries with grueling recovery periods. However, at Pain and Rehab Center in Camp Springs, we provide an effective treatment called spinal decompression that is absent of medication and invasive procedures. Spinal decompression therapy takes a holistic approach to pain relief through the utilization of a computerized table that makes precise adjustments to the spine.
