Patients might experience a failed back surgery when the procedure doesn't lead to the expected relief or improvement in symptoms. This relapse or return to pain is so common that it is listed as a medical condition – Failed back surgery syndrome (FBBS). FBBS is characterized by chronic pain that persists following spine surgery. Addressing the syndrome can involve a wide array of treatments and solutions that are well outside the surgical realm. This can be discouraging, but you should stay hopeful. Our team at Donay Chiropractic can help.
