Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) describes persistent chronic back or leg pain that continues after spinal or back surgery. Even when surgery is technically successful, many patients continue to experience severe neuropathic pain, ongoing discomfort, limited mobility, and dependence on pain medication.
When pain persists for longer than three months after surgery, it may indicate a chronic neuropathic pain disorder. Many patients undergo additional invasive procedures, spinal cord stimulators, injections, or long-term opioid therapy without achieving meaningful relief.
Scrambler Therapy utilizes the FDA-cleared MC-5A device to deliver synthetic “non-pain” information through surface electrodes placed near the pain area. The treatment is painless when properly administered and is designed to retrain how the brain processes chronic pain signals.
Many patients experience substantial pain reduction during a typical 10–12 session treatment cycle, often reducing the need for narcotic pain medication and avoiding additional invasive procedures.
Calmar Pain Relief specializes in treating severe chronic neuropathic pain conditions, including Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. Dr. Stephen J. D’Amato and the Calmar medical staff are among the most experienced Scrambler Therapy providers in the United States, helping patients who have exhausted traditional pain management options.
Patients travel from across the country seeking an alternative to continued medications, repeat surgeries, and implanted pain devices.
