Many of these patients do not achieve a positive result after surgery. Some even have worse pain after the operation than before and find that they have been significantly reduced in their flexibility and mobility. For these patients, the dream of back pain relief has transformed into the nightmare of unsuccessful back surgery.

Spinal surgery is the only type of operative intervention in the world which actually has a condition named for its poor curative statistics. When there is a literal epidemic of failed spine surgeries which do not discourage patients from going under the knife, what will?

What is Failed Back Surgery Syndrome?

Spinal surgery is a tremendous trauma to mind and body and is only tolerated due to the possibility for a cure. However, when things actually get worse after surgery, the patient finds themselves in a wide awake nightmare which will likely have no end. The pain typically continues after the surgery or even become much more intense. The patient may also suffer from additional physical symptoms, including a reduction in their ability to do the things they once did. This disability may be permanent.

Many patients also suffer from psychological effects such as depression, anxiety and rage. They have exhausted all their hopes for a complete recovery and have been let down terribly.

Causes of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

The most common cause for a poor surgical result is an inaccurate diagnosis of the true source of the back or neck pain.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Reality

How come there is no other type of failed surgery syndrome?

The answer to this question is simple. Unsuccessful back surgery is so prevalent since SURGERY is rarely the best treatment option for back pain. Some doctors misdiagnose back pain conditions MORE OFTEN than they get it right.

Other treatment options are conservative. Although they might not be effective at ending the pain, at least they do not cause more harm than good. Surgery, on the other hand, can do so much damage to the body. If the diagnosed condition is not correct, than the surgery is actually destroying healthy tissue that has simply been mistakenly blamed for causing the discomfort. These back pain scapegoat conditions are rarely the actual cause of the suffering and account for the majority of unsuccessful surgical outcomes.

Psychological back pain may be the true cause of many common symptomatic dorsopathy syndromes. There is NO SURGERY that can cure this condition, since the root elements exist in the mind, not the spine. Unfortunately, spinal surgeons rarely recognize this condition for what it really is. They will continue to operate and continue to create REAL DISABILITY in patients who could possibly be easily, safely and permanently cured using knowledge therapy.
