Evaluation for failed back surgery syndrome, persistent spinal pain, and nerve pain after spine surgery.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, also called persistent spinal pain syndrome, can involve ongoing pain after spine surgery. Pain may be neuropathic, musculoskeletal, scar-related, or related to another structural problem.
Treatment may include Scrambler Therapy, MLS Laser Therapy, or referral when further structural evaluation is needed.
Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) can be a distressing and frustrating condition for individuals who have undergone spinal surgery. The persistent pain and discomfort experienced after surgery can significantly impact their quality of life. While a complete cure for FBSS may not be available. At the CRPS and Neuropathic Pain Center of America, we understand the frustration and discomfort individuals with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) experience after spinal surgery. While a complete cure for FBSS may not currently be available, there is a ray of hope in the form of Calmare® Scrambler Therapy, offered exclusively at our center.
Calmare® Scrambler Therapy presents an innovative and promising approach to addressing the pain and discomfort associated with FBSS. By utilizing specialized electrodes strategically placed to target the affected nerves, this therapy provides effective relief. Through controlled electrical stimulation, Calmare® Scrambler Therapy disrupts the abnormal pain signals and replaces them with more pleasant sensations.
The remarkable mechanism of Calmare® Scrambler Therapy lies in its ability to “scramble” the pain signals transmitted by the damaged nerves. By reconfiguring the brain’s perception of pain, this therapy offers substantial relief and improved overall well-being for individuals suffering from FBSS. Many patients have reported a reduction in pain intensity, increased functionality, and enhanced quality of life following Scrambler Therapy.
At the CRPS and Neuropathic Pain Center of America, we are committed to providing non-invasive and drug-free solutions to address the challenges of FBSS. Calmare® Scrambler Therapy stands as a safe and well-tolerated alternative to traditional treatments that may involve medications or invasive procedures. This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced limited success with other pain management strategies.
