What is failed back surgery syndrome and how is it treated?

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) refers to persistent or recurring back or leg pain after spine surgery. It does not mean your surgeon did anything wrong — rather, it means the original source of pain may still be present or new pain has developed from scar tissue, nerve irritation, or spinal instability.

At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we focus on least-invasive, highly targeted treatments that can reduce FBSS symptoms, including:

• Interventional spine procedures (epidurals, facet blocks, medial branch blocks)
• Spinal cord stimulation (a proven option for post-surgical nerve pain)
• Regenerative Medicine
• Myofascial Release and Physical Therapy
• Medication management that avoids heavy drugs
• Minimally invasive revision procedures only when needed

We help many patients regain mobility and dramatically reduce pain even years after their surgery.
