Avoid Failed Back Surgery Syndrome | Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC

Back surgery is a significant decision, often considered when conservative treatments fail to alleviate chronic back pain. However, it's essential to understand the potential risks associated with surgical interventions.

One such risk is Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS), a condition characterized by persistent or recurring pain following spinal surgery. At Triangle Spinal Decompression in Cary, NC, Dr. Abbie Swank and Dr. Parker Neill offer a non-surgical alternative that aims to address the root causes of back pain without the inherent risks of surgery.

Understanding Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS)

FBSS is a term used to describe chronic pain that persists after spinal surgery. According to a study published in the British Journal of Pain, 20-40% of patients who undergo low back surgery develop FBSS. Specifically, 5-36% of patients who have lumbar disc surgery for disc herniation experience a recurrence of their low back and leg pain within two years. Additionally, 29.2% of patients who undergo back surgery for lumbar stenosis (laminectomy) report similar or increased pain at 12 months post-operation.

These statistics highlight the importance of exploring non-surgical options before committing to invasive procedures.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression: A Safer Alternative

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to alleviate pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. Using advanced computerized technology, this therapy gently stretches the spine, creating a vacuum effect that promotes the retraction of herniated or bulging discs and enhances the flow of nutrient-rich fluids to the affected areas.
