There is unfortunately always a chance that your back surgery won’t resolve your pain issues. However, at Right Path Pain clinic & Spine Center, we offer you solutions to relieve your pain following unsuccessful surgery.
There are a number of reasons why back surgery can fail. Operating on the spinal cord is a complicated process and sometimes the surgeon’s work doesn’t address the actual source or sources of your pain.
If you are still struggling after failed back surgery, schedule a consultation at Right Path Pain center. We will carefully review your history, your symptoms and how your Pain Management has changed. After compiling all the information, including X-rays, we will assess the source of your pain and create a custom therapeutic plan.
Call 863-422-0020 or email receptionist@rightpathpainandspine.com to schedule an in-depth assessment of your symptoms so we can determine the best possible treatment plan created just for you.
Come to Right Path Pain & Spine Center to find relief for your aching knees, hips, shoulders and other joints. Our Pain Management specialists will work to help you restore the comfort and mobility you need to live a healthy, normal life.
Whether you’ve suffered from joint pain for a few days or for years, our experienced, knowledgeable team is here to help relieve your pain.
Joint injuries and pain typically respond well to rest, ice and anti-inflammatory drugs. However, if your pain continues for more than a few weeks, contact Right Path Pain & Spine Center to schedule an appointment at one of our two conveniently located offices.
Failing to address small levels of joint pain can lead to chronic discomfort down the road. Our Joint Pain Management treatments include:
Unfortunately, nonsurgical treatments won’t always eliminate back pain. With certain conditions, such as spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease, spinal fusion may be necessary. This procedure connects two or more vertebrae together to improve your back’s stability and reduce pain.
In the past, spinal fusion surgery required a large open incision as part of the surgery. However, thanks to advancements in modern medicine, we can safely perform these procedures with only a few “keyhole” incisions.
By using the latest imaging technology and precise surgical tools, we can give you the best possible results while minimizing recovery time.
Additionally, in the past metal plates were used to stabilize the spine. However, this could also lead to additional surgeries later on due to side effects from the metal’s rigidity.
Now, a combination of bone and metal can be used to offer more “give” to the spine with the same level of stability.
If your back pain remains, despite multiple attempts at treatments, a spinal cord stimulator can give you a favorable outcome. This option is especially popular in cases of failed back surgery.
Through this minimally invasive procedure, we can shut down chronic back and leg pain. We place two probes into the area of your spine where the nerves have become irritated. Next, a small machine is connected to the probes which puts out a continuous stream of electricity.
This obscures the pain signals going from your nerves to your brain, essentially shutting off your back and leg pain.
Everyone who chooses our spinal cord stimulator treatment begins with a 14-day trial to ensure it works for their specific pain. First, the leads are placed into your spinal column, then connected to an electricity generator worn outside the body. This trial period allows you to tell if the stimulator helps you with your pain.
If you are satisfied with the trial period, another procedure is performed to place the permanent electricity-generating device under your skin. This device is operated by a remote control.
