Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. While surgery can be a successful solution for chronic pain, it’s not the best option for everyone. If our team determines that another form of pain management is better for you, we’ll guide you to the right treatment.
Yes. At TMH, our goal is to help you live a safe, pain-free life. Our surgeons, including Dr. Baum, specialize in treating failed back surgery syndrome and performing revision surgeries.
Chronic pain after surgery can result from various causes. It might not mean the previous procedure failed but could indicate a different condition or a new problem. During your consultation, your provider will perform a physical exam and review imaging to determine if additional surgery could help. Symptoms of failed back surgery may include chronic pain in the back, neck, or legs, ranging from dull aches to sharp, burning sensations.
At TMH, we tailor care to each patient. Your journey begins with a clinic visit to discuss your pain with a provider. Together, you’ll decide the best approach, which may or may not involve surgery. If surgery is recommended, imaging will help create a custom plan. On the day of surgery, your surgeon will meet with you to review the plan and answer any last-minute questions. After the procedure, your surgeon will check in to ensure you’re on track for recovery.
Following surgery, your surgeon will assess your progress and ensure your needs were met. Your care team may recommend working with our Neuro Rehabilitation team to design a personalized recovery plan, which could include occupational, physical, or speech therapy.
