Expert Care for Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome refers to a condition where patients continue to experience pain or other symptoms after undergoing spinal surgery. This can result from various factors, including:
- Inadequate initial diagnosis: The underlying cause of pain may not have been correctly identified before surgery.
- Surgical complications: Issues such as infection, nerve damage, or hardware problems can contribute to ongoing pain.
- Scar tissue formation: Post-surgical scar tissue can irritate nerves and lead to discomfort.
- Adjacent segment disease: Degeneration of nearby vertebrae after surgery may cause additional pain.
Symptoms of FBSS can include:
- Changes in bowel or bladder function.
- Persistent or worsening pain in the back or legs.
- Numbness or weakness in the extremities.
Our Approach to Treatment
At NovaSpine, we take a comprehensive approach to managing Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. Our treatment options may include:
1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with an in-depth assessment, including a thorough medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging (such as MRI or CT scans) to identify the source of your ongoing pain.
2. Pain Management Techniques: Our goal is to provide effective pain relief using various modalities:
- Epidural Steroid Injections: To reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in the affected areas.
- Nerve Blocks: Targeting specific nerves to interrupt pain signals.
3. Physical Therapy: Our rehabilitation team will develop a tailored exercise program designed to improve strength, flexibility, and overall function while minimizing pain.
4. Medications: We may prescribe a variety of medications, including anti-inflammatories, pain relievers, and nerve pain agents, to help manage your symptoms.
5. Psychological Support: Living with chronic pain can take a toll on mental health. Our team may recommend counseling or cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you cope with the emotional aspects of FBSS.
6. Surgical Considerations: In some cases, further surgical intervention may be necessary. Our specialists will evaluate whether additional procedures could help address the persistent pain.
