Patients with failed back surgery symptoms may experience the same pain as before surgery and/or discomfort of a different kind (such as numbness, weakness, stiffness, sharper pain, or more diffuse pain) or in a different area of the body.There’s a variety of factors that can contribute to your failed back surgery. This includes scar tissue, fusion failure, incomplete analysis, and more.
A number of symptoms may unfold with failed back surgery syndrome:
Spinal surgery recovery does take significant time and since many of these symptoms occur with many other spine conditions, having a spine specialist with a wide-range of experience can more accurately diagnose what the origination of your back pain is.

The accurate diagnosis and treatment of failed back surgery syndrome can be very difficult, and is best done in an integrated, multispecialty environment like New York Spine Institute.
Surgeons at NY Spine can determine whether lingering pain after surgery is caused by failed back surgery syndrome.

At the NY Spine Institute we offer both non-surgical and surgical treatment options, chosen depending on the results of our diagnosis and your medical history.Treatment for failed back surgery syndrome may include physical therapy, nerve blocks, medications, injections or a chronic pain management program.
Physical therapy can be helpful to teach people who have had spinal fusion ways to sit, stand, move and walk as part of improving their mobility and quality of life. At the NY Spine Institute we make sure to take the time to thoroughly review a patient’s medical history, imaging results, and diagnostic tests before we recommend surgical treatment.
