The process for treating pain after back surgery

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, or (FBSS), refers to patients who experience new or persistent pain after spinal surgery for back or leg pain. While most patients are led to believe that surgery will provide relief, the unfortunate reality is that for between 1046% of patients, pain tends to persist.

This type of chronic pain has been linked to diminished quality of life, and if left untreated, is highly correlated with depression. Studies show that up to 85% of patients with chronic pain experience severe depression.
