After Failed Back Surgery: Is Biologic Disc Repair Your Next Step?
Persistent pain after spine surgery may point to unresolved annular tears or adjacent segment changes the original procedure did not address. For many patients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, intra-annular fibrin injection offers a non-surgical path that targets disc damage at its source — with candidacy evaluated individually.
