Failed Back Surgery Must Be Avoided And Spinal Decompression Should Be Considered
Failed back surgery syndrome (also called FBSS) is a very generalized term that is often used to describe the condition of patients who have not had a successful result with traditional back surgery or spine surgery. There are many reasons that a traditional surgery may or may not work, and even with the best surgeon and for the best indications, spine surgery is no more predictive of a successful result. Spinal surgery is only basically able to accomplish two things: Decompressing a nerve root that is pinched, or stabilizing a painful joint
Most cases this is not what happens. Surgery does not cut out the patient’s pain. Surgery changes the anatomy of the body and the anatomy of the injury and the probable cause of the pain. By far the #1 effect of this not effective is that the area operated on is not the main cause of the pain!
Therefore, the best way to avoid a spine surgery that leads to an unsuccessful result is to stick to conservative treatment and procedures when ever possible. Theses conservative procedures seem to have a high degree of success and help prevent traditional surgery is not an option. Spinal decompression may be the answer for your spinal pain, rather than traditional surgery!!
In addition think about the pros and cons BEFORE agreeing to traditional Spinal Surgery. Several other potential causes of a failed surgery, or continued pain after surgery they are: Fusion surgery considerations -such as failure to fuse and/or implant failure, or a transfer lesion to another level after a spine fusion, when the next level degenerates and becomes a pain generator.
Lumbar decompression back surgery considerations may cause recurrent stenosis or disc herniation, inadequate decompression of a nerve root, preoperative nerve damage that does not heal after a decompressive surgery, or nerve damage that occurs during the surgery. Scar tissue considerations and Postoperative rehabilitation (continued pain from a Traditional Surgery).
Considering the risks and poor success rate of traditional spinal surgery, Spinal Decompression may be a safer, better alternative. Check with a Chiropractic decompression specialist about your condition and the benefits of this procedure
